Default 18x8.5f and 18x9.5r +39

Hi,

Apologies for the question, but I wanted to get 100% confirmation of fitment before purchase!

Will the above fit my S2000 with a mild fender roll (not pull) and some smallish tyres (235s and 255s, or even 225s and 245s)?

I would prefer nothing too drastic in fender mods, but would also like no scraping at all during hard cornering etc if possible.

Thanks heaps for your advice.

Ben

are you lowered? If so how much?

Also, are you willing to run quite a bit of camber?

Will be lowered about 1.5". Would really prefer not to run ridiculous camber if possible.

Little bit of fender rolling and camber would be ok though.

Thanks

Ben

fender roll + a bit of camber and conservative tire sizes (maybe 215/245) and you should be fine...

Hey guys,

Wheels are now purchased!! Pretty pumped to fit them, but in the meantime...

Realize this may be a big ask, but does anyone happen to have a pic of an s2000 with similar sized wheels / offset?

Thanks.

Ben

In for pictures. I just bought a set of TE37s in 18x8.5 +40 and 18x9.5+40 and want to see your setup on tire size and fitment since its almost same as what I will be running.
