Default Is It Possible

Been trying to source some Super Leggeras in the correct fitment for front and rear, seem to be a bitch getting both front and rear sizes to suit.

I have been offered, from Top Gear;

225/45/17's Front with 8x17's Super Leggerra's
and
255/35/18's Rear with 9x18's Super Leggerra's

Price

Hi TazR. From what I have read about aftermarket alloys - it is very difficult to get the correct fitment. Your best bet would be to PM ChrisTypeR as he has the alloys you want, in the correct fitment.

Lo TazR.

From what I've read, having differing size (by 1 inch) alloys front to back isn't as crazy as it sounds...

I am reasonably sure that Southern Counties were fitting 17's and 18's to their 'Mugen' S2000 prior to the introduction of the 04 model.

If everything else checks out OK, the price looks good to me.

Who are Top Gear??? (the BBC haven,t take up selling car accessories have they???!!!!)

Ian is right - have a look at the Performance Honda section of their website at www.southern-honda.co.uk

We are OZ Racing dealers, and often fit large wheels on the back to S2000 / MR2's etc. Many sports car come from the factory with larger wheels on the back ... one we had the other day was a TVR Griffths 500 ... so it is perfectly fine to have larger on the back. And the S2000 fitment 5 x114.3 is a common fitment and certainly available in those sizes.
