265, 275, 285 for my 10 inch rears?
I'm pretty knowledgable about wheels and offsets, but by no means am I an expert. Tires are another story. I tried searching but didnt really come up with much.
Anyway,
My new setup has 18x10 +68 in the rear. According to the fitment guide I should run a 275 or 285 tire on these. I did read that some have put a 265 on these. I dont really care for the stretched look, just want what fits properly. The tires I'll be going with are BFG KDW2's which I have now. I'm dropped about an inch all the way around on Buddyclub coilovers. I'm thinking I should be happy AND safe with 275's but I wanted to get some other opinions.
Thanx in advance,
Brandon

Seeing as how you can put a 275 on a 9" wheel, a 285 will fit on a 10" wheel without any issues. Now, whether you'll have any rubbing issues is another story...

18x10 +68 is a safe fitment. Shouldnt have to do anything. Why am I running such large tires? I'm assuming you mean rims.......Looks..........these dont weigh to much more so they arent gonna slow me down that much. I dont track it, just a weekend car.

No, I meant tires. 285s are pretty wide, and if you are N/A your S2000 is going to be SLOWER with these wide of tires. Also, your speedo is going to be off because your gearing will be affected.

This is how a 275 sits on a 10.5" wheel. I don't rub at all, but I'm at +76 offset. With a +68 offset, you'll rub with 285s but they will sit almost perfectly square on the rim. A 275 might rub a little, but you should be fine. I think the tire fitment of a 275 on a 10" wheel is perfect. A 265 will have about as much tire stretch as my 275s do, but it absolutely WILL NOT rub.
If I were you, I'd run a 275.
