Thumbs up 18" for a S2000

Hello Iam out hunt for a set of rims and Iam wondering if rims with this dimensions will fit.


Front: 18x8 (35mm offset) and Rear:18x10 (45mm offset)

And if so what dimensions should the tires have?

I think the absolute minimums would have to be +50 front +65 rear

+55 front +70 are probably ideal

Look at the rim width of what he wants to use...

8" front and 10" rear. With those offsets he won't even be close!!!

the thing is he did not say it was for show.....and if you look back at your previous thread that I commented on I said that a 35+ would stick outside of the fender probably regardless of wheels width.....and with a 10 inch width he IS DEFINITELY needing at least 70+ and above offset.....

I will give you all some information on this setup. It will not work. I have wider front fenders and ran a +37 front and +68 rear with a 18x7.5 front and 18x9 in the rear and was at a 3.5 inch drop in the front and rear was about 3 inch. Anyway, I had no rubbing issues at all. Due to the fenders.

So if your running OEM fenders which most of you guys are those offsets and widths just wont do. I would go with a high +40s front and 60+ rear offset and you will be fine. Good luck
