Default Flame suit SECURED! Will my CR Kai combo fit? :)

2004 S2000. Figure an inch+ lowered. Willing to run negative camber...

17x8 +47
17x9 +44

I'd like to run as meaty of a tire as possible. Anyone with direct experience here? Will I be able to run this with "light" fender mods... What size tires could I get away with?

Any insight appreciated. The wheel/tire thread is a bit vague. THANK YOU!

- Louis

Your setup will fit will very little modification. Probably just a fender roll on both ends (Probably don't even have to go that far).

And before someone else says it, Search.

Thanks for the helpful input, I appreciate it! No way of going a wee larger than 255 in the rear you think...?

my 255's on my work 17x9 +44 were pretty flush. was running -2.5 camber too. I'm sure it can be done, but it may stick out a little

run more camber and it will work. the 265's usually will buble on a 9 inch wheel. the 255's are more square so better response when turning

They'll fit with stock fenders Mine was also dropped about an inch. The rears will rub a little, but just the rears.

I believe they were 225/45/17 and 255/40/17, I'm sure you can run a little smaller width and not worry about much rubbing.
