Hello s2ki members I have a quick question regarding my rpf1s. I have some rpf1 sbc 17x8.5 +30 they fit perfect on my rsx, and I want to to know if imma run in into some issues if I want to put them in the s2000 thank you in advance.

 

The rear should fit easily with just a roll and tab relo. The front will be more difficult. I think you could run a 225 in front and roll your fenders and run some additional camber and be ok. My not test fit them and see what you are dealing with?

 

Yeah the fronts are going to stick out pretty far compared to the rear. Going to need to pull the fenders a bit and run over -2 camber to get them to tuck in enough to drive on.

I would generally agree that 225/45 would/could fit, but since 255/40 is going to look pretty pinched in the rear and complicate fitment, id probably stick to a 245/40, but that means a 215/45 up front, otherwise your going to have a taller profile tire up front compared to rear and that’s not a compromise you typically want to make. I think stock s2k tire sizes/stagger is what’s going to offer you the best look/fitment in this case. *** Unless you can find that one brand that makes a 225/40/17 for the front.

 

Ok thank you guys for the helpful info, I haven't test fitted them because they dont have any tires on them at the moment.

Thanks for the advise I might just go with what you mention stock s2k tire sizes

 

It would probably be better to sell these and buy a different set or buy 2 17x7.5 with a higher offset for the front and run 2 of these on the rear.

 

I think in the long run you will be happier if you sell these and buy a better fitment, either 9" +45 all around or 8"/9" +45 staggered. I would never run a convex RPF1 (width 8.5" or less) on the rear of a S2000, just doesn't look right.

 

^Agreed

 

I was thinking of that all day of just selling my wheels because of the fitment.You guys made some good points thank you ill look into different wheel specs. I was looking around for some 17x9 +45 rpf1 sbc or some works xd9. Im just kinda sad of letting this go lol since I have five of these wheels and they cost me quite a bit :/ oh well they had a good run on the rsx.
