Anyone that live near or in FL that knows of a shop ?

Hub is 70.1mm

I'd prefer to have the wheels bored, adding a spacer to front will make it stick out further than the rear.

Hub centric is nice, but they don't need to be for the front. They just need to be large enough to fit over the hub. Could probably find a pair on ebay or amazon for less then $50.

Boring them out will make them sit more flush to the car in comparison to the rear. If you have a BBK the spacer is a bonus. If not, do what's easier. The 245 will fit either way.

Guys I found a machine shop finally after calling more than like 20.

Getting them bored out as I type this message.

I just want to thank everyone for your input and help, and also want to thank the forum in general, I'm new to owning an s2000, really appareciste it.

One more question.

If in the future I decide to get aftermarket wheels, do I need to do the same to fit the front hub?

No. Well only if the hub on the aftermarket wheels is smaller that the S2000 hub but I haven't seen a set of aftermarket wheels where that is the case. Generally speaking you should not have to worry about it.

You might be doing this already, but I'd bore all 4 wheels so you can rotate front to rear.

60 dollars for two wheels, honestly I would have paid anything he charged me after calling like 20 shops and no one would do it. What's wrong with these machine shops anyway, whatever happen to just helping someone out from the goodness of your heart? lol

My car is at stock height, and even at stock height with 255's on in the back the stock camber is very negatively aggressive, anyone notice that? I guess I'll wait until I put the coils in then pull the camber out with an alignment. You guys think I'll need adjustable LCA and toe arms?
