Default Can't Find any - 17" x 8.5" +60 Front Wheels & 17" x 9.5" +64 Rear Wheels

Looking for a quality set of 17" x 8.5" +60 for the front and 17" x 10" +64 for the rear. I am looking to run a 255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear tire. I am having trouble finding anything in these sizes my best options so far is to have the factory wheels widened with 15mm front spacer in the front and 20mm rears.

As for wheel patterns I really like the AP2 V1's and AP2 V2's, OZ Ultraleggera, BBS RGR's..... I do not prefer are (3) peice wheels and I would like to keep the weight down if possible. Last but not least I do need to clear either a Willwood or BBS BBK.

Any help would be appreciated

Check out my iForged wheels for sale: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/904...ed-fs6-wheels/

They are only 8" in front (+54), but are 10" in the back. You can still fit a 255 on an 8" wheel too. Not too far from what your ideal specs.

Let me know if you are interested.

The 949s are great and I want a pair but there are none left anywhere. The ain't making any more. 949 is coming out with a new line this spring but that is all I can get out of them. If anyone knows anywhere you can acutally get some 17X9 949 please let know, there are none on the 949 web site. The only other wheels I can find with an offset of +63 is the TSW Nurburgring. Fine looking wheels, MAT forming and +63 offset in 17 and 18 wheels. The TSW are made for Mustangs and have a center bore of 76 and the S2000 is 70.1mm, just to let you know.

Ssr type c and type f come in 17x8.5 +58 and 17x9.5 +65. only problem is most wheels with that high of an offset in the front won't clear bbks (except the tsw nurburgrings). The 17x9 +48 949 6ulr wheels clears a bbk but the higher offset ones don't. For those offsets the wheels will need to have no lip and straight spokes. If you can find a set used I think the old prodrives fit.

Volk racing CE 28N Competition, special fitment for S2000 and NSX, specs are 8,5 x 17 + 58 for the fronts, 10 x 17 + 70 for the rears.

Only drawback is, that they are expensive. Another thing, they come only in bronze.

Hope that helps.

You could also run a 17x9 +63 or 17x9 +54 on the front wiht the Volks. But yes, they are expensive. They can be ordered in a custom color...a different thread the OP said he ordered a custom gunmetal. I can't wait to see the pics of them.

I don't mind the TSW's they are a little over the top in terms of syling for me but they are close. I would have to settle with 9's all the way around but that is okay.

TSW just got another plus, and yes the Prodrives I really like but since they are no longer made I can't buy a set.

Yes that is a very nice wheel, I think it is ugly though. As you mentioned way to much for something I have settle on, if I spend that much I don't want to comprimise.



Keep'em coming I really appreciate the input!!

Well still not having much luck. As for the style I have settled on the TSW Interlagos, it really like the wheel, it is not too flashy and has many different sizes.

As of today I am looking at purchasing (4) 18" x 9" +63mm

Front = Nitto Invo 255/35/18 and unmodified wheel
Rear = Nitto Invo 295/35/18 & widened wheel to 10.5" w/ 0-10mm spacer depending on what it needs

I plan on sending the set to Weldcraft for widening to 10.5"

since weldcraft widens to the inside, why not get a 17x9 +48ish in the rear to make sure you get all the clearance on the outside squared away
