'04 wheel sizes
 

Does anyone have a line on a TO. wheel shop that has '04 wheel sizes/tires that will fit the '03 without sticking out past the fender lips? More specifically the name brand of the wheels. I don't want to order from the U.S. I really don't like the looks of the stock '04 Honda wheels, just MO. I would like to see the same '03 wheels in '04 sizes.

i don't understand your question....

but, any "aftermarket" wheel will fit any S2000 the same way..

i think he means getting 17" wheels without using spacers and what not

I think he meant that he wanted the 5 spoke wheels ('00-'03 look) on his '04 but in 17"? :confused:

As far as I know, you can very well purchase a set of used '00-'03 (obviously in 16") and it'll fit your '04 just fine... the overall wheel (i.e. rim+ tire) diameter is the same. w/ 17" you are just riding lower profile tires.

However, if you MUST have 17" then do what Plyrs 3 said. Stock offsets for 16" are F: +45 R: +55 (???) not sure about the 17" though -- should be the same since the width of the rim is the same?

no the 2004 wheels are wider than '00-'03.....

F = 17x7.0 and R = 17x8.5

I stand corrected...

So what are the stock offsets?

no idea......i don't think anyone knows.....that info is no where to be found.

unless it's stamped on the wheel.....

Orrrrrrrrrrrrr you could measure it.......... idiot

so with wider rims and tires.. does it handle better or worse that the 00-03?

What I meant was, putting 17x8.5-245-40-17 on the rear and 17x7-215-45-17 on the front of a '00-'03. Has anyone done this here in Ontario and if so who did you deal with and why?. The S2ki website has a lot California, west coast owners with 17", 18" wheels but prices across the border are more realistic than our Can. $ prices.

tiretrends.com

please mr. guru-of-all......tell me how i can accurately measure the offset.

I'm still confused...Are you just asking what aftermarket 17" rims will fit the S? If so, first take a look through the "wheels" thread in the Photo Gallery forum to get an idea of what other rims people are running. You'll notice the same names keep comming up. The reason for this is the high offsets of the S (+50 / +63) - there's not a whole lot of choice available.

If you don't see anything you like there (or even if you do), try going to tirerack.com. Look for rims made for the S2000 and you'll see esentually everything that's available (again, not a whole lot). This will also give you an idea of what to expect to pay for rims (add 25% or so to account for exchange).

Finally, try PMing _Speedstar_ to see whether they can get the rims for you, or try wheelsdirect.com.

Hope this helps.

Take a wheel off, measure the width... then measure from the mounting surface to the inside edge of the rim.

It will get you within 5mm at least.

5mm makes a big diff., got a more accurate way to do this? :p

So you want '04 rims on an '00-'03? I don't think there should be an issue then.

LOL... not much of an engineer eh?? 5mm would kill someone... :D

why, retard?

Comparing +/-5mm offset guess to swinging an axe at someone

you're right.....your nonchalence with offsets could kill more than one person - you, passenger, by-stander, etc......

mine would only kill you.

how thoughtless of me......

:rofl:

You think 5mm would kill someone on an offset... BOY you REALLY don't know shit about cars.

Read a book or something.

idiot

sure it can.....let me illustrate fvckstick.....

if your wheels stick out too much (bad offset) and you happen to put load on a corner where the tire on said wheel happens to touch the bodywork and cuts it, you go flying off into never-never land....

capiche?

so in other words no harm done to the rest of us. :D

DUDE it's 5 :spam:ing mm.... you're making your self look stupid now.

that's right.......5 stinking mm. what do you think it takes to shear off a wheel lug??? slice a tire???

i've got that axe in my hand....let me know when you're ready.

You SSR's are not stock offset.

Plus your tires are more than 5mm wider than stock.

Better reassess your life insurance. Your lug nuts may shear off.

right, but what if it's 5 MORE mm????

fyi, my 255 tires are just as wide as the stock 225 S-02.

RIGHT... and I said you would have a +/-5mm margin of error from stock which is close enough. AND from that you can probably guess the exact offset since the number measured will be odd.

FYI the stock S-02 has an actual 245mm foot print (00-03). So your 255's are 10mm wider than stock (5mm on each side). So if the offset is wrong on your SSR

no, my 255's have a 245 footprint.

Why?

no idea.....but, the tire is much more rounded at the shoulders than the S-02.

hence lifting up the "contact patch" at the edges.

It's an S-03 right?

Don't you have S-02 on the front tho?

yes.

ahhh.. feel the love on this forum... :D


don't mind me.. i am just whoring thru... LOL

So were we both.

But Nimesh knows he's an idiot.

It's ok. He's only human and only good with numbers :p

Unfortunately you as an engineer know dick all about accuracy. :D

I'm not a fan of blue calipers but,...wait...what was this tread about?? ;)

GPW > * ;) :D

Shouldn't that require more precision then??

Nah, things now are designed to fail shortly after warranty LOL

i guess electronics allow more than 5mm inaccuracy.. LOL

LOL... 5mm lead spacing is common HEH

Remind me NOT to pick up up a BB from you when you get that RIM job. :D

Go to bed ya clown :D

Back on topic, but only this once.....how does one measure offset? My answer is totally intuitive, but it makes sense yes?

1)Take half of the rim width (call it W)

2)place your rim on the ground (on a towel preferably), front facing down

3)place a 2x4 on top of it (or something of similar straightness and stiffness *no comments*)

4)take a measuring tape and measure from the inside of the wheel hub to the edge of the 2x4 (call it X)

5)Now subtract X-W which = offset right?

For example, just say your wheel is 200mm wide. So 1/2 is 100 (W)
You measure your inside hub to the wood and its 150mm (X)

so 150-100=50

So therefore your offset would be +50mm correct?

Now back on topic

yellow stickers = :thumbup:

sounds like a "no" to me.. :p

Heheh..... ass
