thanks. I sold them with the civic b/c I didn't think theyd work on the S. Great forged rim and found fairly cheap frequently.

Why would you want to only run 225 in the back?

Yea, I don't want to do any modification to fit this rims on the s2k. I thought that they will fit fine with the spec mention above.

To outkas: The rims comes with those tires.

I've thought doing this myself too. You could easily run these with a 245/40 all around too.

I know!!!... That's what I was thinking too. I don't understand why the mod of having the rims bored out if is the same lug pattern?? I was thinking of asking the person if I can try the wheels on the s2000 and go from there

OMG guys. Have you ever looked at your hubs before? have you honestly never changed a tire?

oO <-- those o's are different sizes and so are the hub bores on the STI wheels and the S2000 wheels. S2000 wheels match the hubs on the car exactly.

If you run extended wheel studs and a 6 or 7mm universal spacers, you could get away from boring out the STI wheels.
OR you can get some custom spacers made that are hubcentric to the the S2000 and the BBS rims in any size you want

Trust me guys, I've ran these wheels on my Civic Si. In my opinion, they aren't worth the trouble.

You're confused. The bore is the centre of the wheel where the centre cap goes, not the diameter of the bolt holes.

Ok, I google this centre bore for a better picture and I understand now. So the center of the STI rims might not fit the s2k. Can I maybe try a hub centric ring?

^No. The STI wheel bore is smaller than the s2k so the only option is to get them bored out or run a spacer large enough to get past the issue with the smaller bore. Hubcentric rings are to fill the space when you are running a wheel with too large of a bore for your hubs.
