Ok so i recently got a 2001 s2000 and im thinking of buying new rims soon. I would love to buy some deep dish rims but i saw a few people on here saying you cant put deep dish rims on a s2k.. Is this true?

 

In general yess deep wide wheels will not fit a stock s2000. It's all really in the wheel sizing. Most deep wheels are to aggressive for s2000 but could possible fit with camber and stretched tires. You need to do your research and see what other are running and how they make them fit

 

Yea i saw some people talking about it on some other forum and i just wanted some info from people who have experience.

 

It's all about the width and offset and how much work you want to put in. Anything is possible with deep enough pockets. Read the sticky go research wheels and come back with questions about specific wheel specs.

 

Well since the "dish" is on the face of the wheel, it doesn't really matter what the width or offset of the wheel is, your looking at maximizing the dish portion of the wheel. So measure from the hub mounting face to the outside of the fender and that will tell you how much dish you could potentially get out of an S2k with stock fenders depending on the style of the wheel face ie; how the spokes are designed/shape) then you can try and source out a wheel with your measurements, or go custom. I will tell you that 1.5"-2" is the max range your going to get assuming your not running some ridiculousness wheel that doesn't fit with rubber band tires. My rpf1 is a good example of dish/lip vs offset, looking at my sig, both front/rear wheels have aprox 1.5" same lip/dish and offset, however due to the style of the spoke the fronts look to have much less lip even though its the same. Some wheels look the same at the face and dish amount no matter the offset or width, so don't focus on that solely to determine dish amount, you need to look at the style construction of the wheel along with those other indicators.

 

Thank you guys. I know i definitely need to do my reaserch and look up wheels. I am new to this i will admit. I just figured this would be a good place to start and get sent in the right direction.

 

Read read read. Look at the gallery. Google etc. Then once you have it somewhat narrowed down ask the questions you have and make sure you include all the specs.

 

I've got 3" lips (maybe 3.5? Need to double check) on my rear wheels. When I'm slammed I have to run 5-7 camber and I run a 255/35. You might be able to pull off a 4" lip but it's be difficult

 

Im not looking to go that deep haha. Maybe like 2.5 inch lip or something. I have been looking at camber kits and what not im just not sure what to go with. Thanks for the info though, every bit helps someone new like me.
