Default Bore Sizes/Offsets

I am looking at a set of wheels. The rears are bores 73mm and the front is 60mm. I understand the fronts need to be 70mm but I read somewhere if i pick up a 3mm spacer I should be okay. Can anyone confirm this. Also will the rears be okay?

Also the offsets are +42(f) and +41

OEM bore sizes on S2000 are 70.1 fronts and 64.1 rears.

You'll need a 10mm spacers in front if you want to avoid boring out the wheels.

The offsets you gave are useless unless you post the wheel size.

Not really. Wheel size doesn't matter as long as he is running tires with the same outside diameter as stock.

With that little offset you can probably run 205s in front and 235s in back with no issues. Anything wider may rub, depending on the tire brand and model. (With some tires you might get away with 215/245.

If you find a tire you like, post in the forum and find out what sizes and offsets other guys are running with and without fender rolling.

you'll for sure need fender modifications in the rear (roll, relocate tab) and a decent amount of camber to get those to fit without a stretched tire
