Default Honda S2000 AP2

What is the biggest set of tires I can order for my stock AP2 wheels...I want to get the widest tires possible for my stock wheels? Is it possible to go a little wider than OEM sizes in front and back...Please tell me ASAP..

I believe you can do 225/45 and 255/40 and you'll still be fine.....

I agree. The 225/45R17and 255/40R17 fits the car and the OE wheels fine. They also keep the same amount of stagger front to rear.
If I can help let me know.

im running those in kumho ecsta MX, the kumho's are MUCH blockier than the stocks and 255 in kumho is more like a 265 on a less blockier tire. no rubbing either and im dropped on tein flex

Are there any performance negatives to running these size tires on our stock rims? According to your excellent charts, the ideal sized rims for these tires would be 1\2 inch larger front and rear. My AP2 is a daily driver and weekend track\fun car.

I just got some Azenis 615's in 225-45 and 255-40 17" for my '04 OE's. Will be getting them mounted soon.
