Default Mugen GP 18x7.5 +48

Hi All,

I am in the process of selling my old car (2009 fg2) and purchasing an s2000 (ap2). I have Mugen GP's on my fg2 currently (18x7.5 +48 all around) which I really do love, and it would be a shame if I could not transfer these over to the s2000.

Will this wheel size fit the front and rear? The research I have done points to yes. However, I am quite unsure what an appropriate tires size would be, I know 7.5" is pretty skinny for the rear.

All input appreciated!!!

Yeah to skinny for the rear. They are a full inch narrower for the rear while being .5 inch wider in front. I would just sell them to another civic owner. It will look odd as well as the fronts will be fairly flush while the rears will still look a little sunken in. Fronts would need the fenders rolled. Just to many negatives to me but hey it is your car.

Front will need a spacer. I have an FA5 Si with those same wheels and test fitted to my S up front. Center bore is too small on the GP's. I think you need ~5mm spacer.
