Default Calling All 19 Inch Wheel Experts !!!help!!!

Hey Everyone,
I need some advice from all you wheel experts. I am shopping for a set of 19's for my S2000. I was hoping some of you that have been through this can help clear up my confusion.


Will 19's fit a stock NON lowered S2000 without a problem?

Any suggestions on what Make/Model/Size will fit without an offset problem?

It there a huge loss in acceleration with the 19's?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Jerry

Yes 19's will fit. There shouldn't be too huge of an acceleration problem if you go with forged wheels . HRE. Kinesis, and IForged wheels are good choices.

Jerry it's an absolute pian in the ass trying to find some 19" to fit the S2000 I've been looking literally for months, you find a set you like, decide you want them! then find out they dont make them to fit your car.
I've finally decided on a set of OZ superleggera III's pricey but have a nice shiny rim, deep dish, light weight & strong as fcuk the only problem I now have is that they don't sell them in the UK "only everywhere else" so I have to import them, things just get better and better!!!!!!

I think the bigger problem would be tires. The only thing I have is the Continental Sport Contact in 235/35R19 and 265/30R19. It is difficult to find a 19" set up. Be careful with the offset.

275/30-19 will fit in the rear with a correct offset wheel. With that size you also have a lot more choices in tire brands.
