See where it says "Will these wheels fit?" at the bottom of Floppy's post click there, or to make it easy for you, click on this link, which is the same https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/104...se-wheels-fit/

Great , just read the lot there ....
Just one small question
How do you know the camber of a wheel before you buy it as they all just state diameter, width and offset and pcd?
Thanks

I'm in the process of getting Enkei PF01 wheels shipped over from the US. Waiting on the SWIFT payment to get there at the moment. - How long does UK to US SWIFT payments normally take ??
I've gone for 17x8 50mm offset PF01 fronts, and 17x9 60mm offset PF01SS rears. My intension is to fit 225 front tyres, 255mm rear - without issue, I believe - but I'd love to hear from someone who can confirm this!
Thinking of going for Yokohama AD08s in these sizes. Do these tyres come up a bit wider than others ? - could I potential have issues? Searches suggest this would all be ok but I'd like confirmation before ordering tyres.
Can anybody suggest the cheapest place to get AD08s . mytyres.co.uk are ~£178 each. (fronts and rears)

A wheel does not have camber, the car's suspension is adjustable to change camber. Try searching the internet for some diagrams of how wheels fit and suspension work.

This might help, the amount of times I've posted it I should be on some sort of commission:

I don't know if I should be worried about any of those numbers

I use those PF01 wheels on my S, with 235 front and 255 rear with no rubbing and a very low car.
Offsets are perfect. I do have -3 deg camber up front though, but I think 225 and oem geo would be fine.

Would that front wheel be road-legal? Can't tell. And are those Stoptech brakes too? BBK is next on the shopping list - Stoptech and AP-Racing I've briefly looked at so far
