I didnt start this thread to debate I just want to know will it fit and what are the mods if any that I will have to do since I am standing stock for right now. Camber I know is a must.

explanation

This is why I said use a spacer. I didnt know if the rim would hit the inner wall thats why I said use a spacer...

Bottom line is youre going to need a rear overfender to run that offset out back

They will not fit. The front will need about -2 camber and i would say rolled front fenders nd possibly flared. The rears will not fit at all unless you get over fenders. I suppose with -4 camber in the rear with it rolled and flared they may fit

they will NOT fit, bottom line. If you put some over fenders in the rear and cut the sheet metal, and have the fronts rolled and pulled. Than it WILL work

The inner wall isnt an issue for S2000s like it is for some cars. The critical area for our cars is generally the outer lip of the fender.

As a general S2000 rule (not universal, but pretty close) to make wheels fit on these cars, you dont want to push them out, you want to pull them in. That is why your offsets are too crazy.

This is subject to change based on wheel width and tire size, but as another general rule on these cars, you need to be closer to +45 offset or higher if you dont want to do modifications to the body in order to make the wheels fit.

Well I did the math and the fronts will fit fine but the rears are still 1 3/4 further out from stock at -3 degrees of camber. meaning they won't fit in the rear but the fronts will fit just fine. hmmmm....

Thanks for all the input guys!!!

8 +30 is worse than the +42 the 42's will require a lil bit of camber but not too much 30's would be too much. srry.
