Hey everyone,first time in so bear with me if I say something stupid.
I need some help finding a good combo of rims for my S2000 '01
I've been looking on various web sites but a lot of manufacturers don't have the right offset .I want to go with an 18" possibly 18x8 in front and 18x9 in the rear.Has anybody done it that way and if yes what kind of offset did you use? I appreciate all the help I can get.

 

Many of us have perfect fitting 18s.

Myself, I have Volk GT-Cs, offset of F50 and R55. The rears were milled 5mm to make sure that they would work on a lowered (DR21) car.

Fronts are 8.5", rears 9.5".

PLYRS 3 has nice SSRs, Matrix has nice OZs, ....there are tons around....

 

Thanks for the reply as I said I'm having problems finding the right offset.Do you think + 48 would work? Take care,
Max

 

I think it would if the car isnt lowered, but Im just guessing. The front should be fine, but Id be concerned about the rears (unless they are narrower than 9.5)...

 

With 18x9.5 and only a +48 offset you will get a lot of rubbing. With a 9.5 wide rim, you'll want at least a +55 offset; but even with that you won't be able to run tires any wider than 255. Check out tirerack.com (a site sponser) you'll find lots of 18' rims that "fit" our car there. It'll at least give you an idea of what to look for. Hope this helps.

 

Now that I think about it, I think my rears are 9", not 9.5. I have a 255 tire on the rear (PZeros Rosso).

Looking at my set up visually, I wouldnt want to run a wider tire or less offset with the width of rim and the springs I have.

So yeah, what toosteeley said.

 

I don't think we've met have we BioBanker? I'd love to see those Volk's of yours in person

 

hey Rob... nice Sig!!! hahaha...

 

White IS the fastest colour after all
