I have a set of these 18x7 Enkei RSF-2s that I used to have on my Celica. They are in need of new tires and I was thinking of putting 225/40/18 tires instead of 215/35/18. Would that be ok (staying even with stock) traction wise?

What sized tires are on the front of an S2000? 225/50/16 on the back, right?

 

1) I dont believe the offset will work. Celica offsets are abotu 35mm, right?
2) non-staggering tires can be problematic. they are setup staggard for a reason, it helps reduce the amount of oversteer.

 

I believe my Celica was either 42mm or 45 mm offset. Staggered is a good point. The rims have a lip on them though I just want the wheels to be set back so I dont look ghetto

 

What if I put 215/40 on the front and 225/40 on the back? Would that work ok?

 

try a 205 on the front and a 225 on the back. Stock tire size stagger is a lot more than the numbers make it look like. stock is more like 245 and 205

 

wait a minute.....Celica's have a different bolt pattern size don't they?

 

well the bolt pattern on these are universal 5 lug 100mm and 114.3mm (s2k?) anyways I was looking at one in the showroom the other day and the front stock tires are 205/55/16 and the rear are 225/50/16 notice the difference in height in the front and rear tires?

Will this work?

rear-225/40/18
front- 215/45/18

I would have to get 215 b/c 205 in 18" sizes...or maybe I should just sell these damn rims and put it toward the hefty loan on a S2000 nice addition to a $7000 down payment....
