Would it rub with a camber kit? Like I said I hate the 4x4 look but I was eating tires on my 03' CL because of it. 19" tires are not cheep either. After the 2nd set in a few months they went on ebay and I bought this car. Also it rubbed very bad, more in back than anything.

they don't make a camber kit for the S2000 as it has self adjustable camber. meaning you can adjust it. anyways you won't rub with RGR's with a 1.5 drop. i just decided to run mad camber cause i like the ay the car handles.

Not mine. The diamond black RG-R's look gunmetal in the shade, much brighter in the sunshine.

I had 18" RG-R's with Eibach springs, the front would rub on the inner plastic fender a little under extreme braking and cornering. The biggest problem was oversteer, the 225/40-18 fronts just had too much bite for me. I ended up going with a 17" combo to get the handling balance back to the neutral stock feeling. My 17" Volk CE28's never rub.

18"


17"

S2ka it seems changing tires would have been a much cheaper route than changing tires and rims. Unless you just didn't like the looks of the BBS, which is anther issue altogether.

17" or 18" doesn't make a bit of difference, it is the overall width, outside diameter & offset. The car doesn't "know" what size rims you have all it "feels" is the tire size.

I like the looks of the BBS better than the Volks, other than the color of the BBS, but that is just me.

What is the comparision of the offsets and widths of the 2 rims?

BlueS2000Boy has a set that I like a lot and he is semi local to me but not really sure if I am ready to spend that much. Also have never heard of the brand before.
