Default Geometery set up for 18" Wheels?

Im getting some new wheels on Wednesday as my front tyres are a bit skinny on tread so I've opted for a new set of 18s with tyres. Im just wondering what adjustments are needed to accomodate these wheels with regards to geometery and other alterations? Thanks for the advice!

What 18's are they? Hope you've seen them on the car - mine looks like tractor wheels

They are these ones! Apparently with the correct off sets.

be careful
Ideally the geo will need to be done with the hub centers out and adaptors fitted in their place to take the geo heads.

Though if your new wheels are close to the OEM ones you should be OK.

Even though these wheels are for a S2000 with the correct off sets I'll still be needing the geo reset?

Right lets clear something up!

It is good practise to redo the geo after a tyre change, it is not a MUST.

If you change the suspension it IS A MUST.

Having said that I would do it and use the hub center adaptors.

Just looked at the Ebay post.

It was Jeff who put the Mille Miglia EVO5's on my first S, I had to tell him extalcy which ones to rder. I see he has opted for exactly the same settings and tyres as asked for.

Jeffs place is a great place, just be VERY specific about what you want. He was not that knowledgeable about the S's wheel and tyre fitments. They also had to redo my geo 2 times. Don't let them use the stock settings from the PC.
Take the FAQ print out with you!

BTW I paid
