Your calculations included converting diameter to circumference. It's just an unnecessary step to the calcs.

these pics are all i can find for now....i took some better expressly for showing the tires, but naturally i can't find them.

this drastically lowers the car...do the math from the diameters...i would make many unintentional contact with ground. i'm not as low now with coilovers (1.5 inch vs 1.0 inch)

that also increases your fender well gap, making your S2000 look like a 4x4.

getting smaller tires like that is retarded, and makes the car look rediculous.

How does it effect the driving?
Is it faster, does it rev easier?
