Sounds safe to me. There is another guy in Atlanta who is running that same setup, I believe. Patrick, deafpimp- you out there?

I have sold a number of these wheels on the S2K. You can go 225/40R18 and 245/35R18 no problem. You can also go with 255/35R18 but depending on the alignment setting on the car you may need a little more negative camber.
If I can help let me know.

As a side note to these OZ Wheels on the S2000, would I be able to fit a Falken Azenis RT-615 265/35R18 in the rear?

Section width is 10.7 inch

The same tire with 255/40R18 size has a 10.3 width.

ideas?

Rolling fenders or moving the bumper bracket shouldn't be a problem for me. Car will be mostly stock, no big power adders... but will be autocrossed and tracked a fair amount this summer. Stock suspension for now, with a Tein Flex upgrade in Summer.

I would say no to the 265 tires. I have seen 255/35R18 fit though.
If I can help let me know.

I'd like to get that setup with a 255/35-18 rear. What's the screaming deal Jim? Send me a PM!

Hi Jim,

Thanks for answering my question in this thread. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=458418

I have a couple more for you. To allow better fitment and tire choices, I'm going to use the OEM 17 inch wheels of my 2004 S2000 for the track. For a summer/daily driver setup I still want to purchase the Ultraleggeras in a 18" set for the S.

To make things easy, I will also buy tires and have them mounted by you guys

Good choice for Midwest Spring Summer Fall tires sounds like the Goodyear Eagle F1 GD-D3s. Fitment for the the rear can be 255/35ZR18 correct? The wheels with a 9.0 inch rim should handle the 10.2" section width of the tire? Am I looking to add a little more camber and/or will fender mods be required?

Everyone says the fronts can be 225/40ZR18 without issues so that should be ok.

That should be it for now. I see some of the tires are not in stock but will be in about 2 weeks. Thats fine for me. I'm just waiting for my tax return to show up.

Have a good night,
Chris
