Default 1 lateral g on the S-2000?

What is the largest size tires that can be fitted on the s2000? 18x9's, 18x10's? and which suspention do you need also for the s2000 to do 1g on the lateral skidpad?
Thank you guys or the input. I know I would still have to get that suspention tuned for it to do 1g.
Thank you.
Omar

Grip in turns is mostly about the rubber compound, not size. Put some racing slicks on your car and you'll do more than 1g in turns! Most people that drive on the track use the OEM rims coupled with a DOT legal race tire like the Kumho V700 or Toyo RA-1 and add a stiffer front swaybar to control oversteer. Some of the West coast track-addicts have gone to Dunlop racing slicks with excellent improvement in lateral grip. So, if all you're worried about is getting 1g in turns, slap on some sticky rubber, add a front swaybar and learn to drive the car.
