Like the title says, how will it fit? Will it handle fine if I have 275's in the back?

Wow, 275's in back! Can that be done? I was cautioned about 265's.

Im running 265's currently without any issues and the tires need replacing so im thinking about stepping up to 275 with a little fender rolling action.

if your lowered, u'll probably have to roll the fenders in the front.. 235 is kinda wide for the front.. best to go with 225..

Well, forgive my possible senility, but I see no reason for front widths greater than 225's short of hillclimbing, something I have yet to see done in an S2000.

IM(NS)HO, any benefit gained in road hugging would be offset by steering difficulties and slowness.
