For some reason I thought those tires were OEM or OEM Wannabe tires and that's why I asked.

"REAL" OEM SO2s will have an 89W (front) and 92W (rear) designation on the sidewall. These should be sized 225 for the rear. If they don't have these designations, then you got the SO2s for non-S2000 applications and should be sized 245.

Model years '00 to '03 came with SO2. Model years '04 and newer came with 050.

From the info in the sticky the profile should be 45 series not 50. Your tires are a tad bit too tall.

First, he has to tell us if he's referring to S2000 SO2s or not. If they are OEM tires, then 245 tires of any aspect ration is not an issue. If they are NOT OEM SO2s, then you are correct.
