Hi Guys, I'm new to the S2K community, so I need a lot to learn. I'm thinking of changing to new rims & tires probably some te37SL on 17's only. Don't want to go to big on the rims so I'm not a fan of 18's. Will it look dumb if I go for a staggered set? really need some expert advice and opinion from you guys. What is the best size, inset/offset, p.c.d. & bore (front & rear)? As well as tire size to go with it? On stock cambers and no fender rolling.

Many Thanks looking forward to learning loads of stuff from you guys.

 

First thing's first: read https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/342...fitment-guide/ for fitment.

As for will it look silly with staggered setup, I don't think so.

Lots of people like square wheel setups here due to increased grip index and simplicity with tuning (it becomes purely suspension setup to induce desired characteristics of handling as opposed to tire tuning as well), but I still prefer my staggered setup too. Also, UK alignment is slightly different from US, just a heads up

 

Do you mean staggard widths or 17's in front and 18's in the rear?

 

^ That kind of staggered hadn't even crossed my mind when I posted lol, if that's what you're talking about OP, it might look silly .

 

Oh definitely not that kind of staggered set up. widths only on 17's

 

Ok. I wasn't sure because you mentioned 18's. head read the wheel fitment sticky and compare to the specs the tesl's come in. I'd look for at least a 9 inch wide wheel for the rear and at least an 8 for the front. That let's you run a 225 front and 255 rear. As long as you are in the +40 or higher you will just need a fender roll tab relo and alignment to fit them.

 

Thanks mate. I was reading the fitment guide and this is what I came up.

Front:
17" x 7.5JJ 40 inset, 215/45 tire

Back:
17" x 8.5JJ 45 inset, 235/40 or 245/40 tire
I have also check Ray's website and this is the available size for a TE37 SL.

I'm not sure if its right? What do you think? Any advice, I just want to have a decent staggered look not too aggressive and no fender rollings.

Thanks anyways for the replies. Really appreciate it. Cheers

 

Thanks mate, what if I'm on stock cambers and without fender rolling? Would this be ok front 215/45 back 235/40 or 245/40?

 

I would stil roll the fenders with those offsets. You are moving the wheels out almost an inch or more. Plus you want a 245 in the rear for the 8.5 inch rear wheel.

 

7.5"+40 215/45 - 8.5"+45 245/40 will fit without rubbing as long as you are aligned to a UK camber alignment to be safe. Camber is the wild card in fitment. If your adding width and less offset over stock you can bet at minimum you will need to add some camber, especially so up front, sometimes the rear is ok as is, in my experience. There is roughly 20mm of clearance front and rear you can push the wheels out before you need to worry about rolling fenders. If the car is dropped more then about an inch then the rear bumper tab could be an issue under suspension compression and then rubbing up front can be more of a factor. If you roll your fenders you can get a total of about 45mm more fitment over stock so it definitely helps with wheel choices, tire widths and performance of course.
