***look into the Wheel and Tire Forum***

I've seen up to 255 width tires safely under the rear of an S2k, however specific tire dimensions and wheel width and offset is critical in cramming the most tire width possible inside the wheelwell.

The 255/40R17 will be the best size.
If I can help with a specific tire let me know.
Thank you

supercharged_S,

This depends on the specifications of your wheel.

I have seen 255/40/17 in rear.

There is also this actical in a magazine where they are comparing the spoon s2000, comptech s2000, and a stock. Comptech had on the ce28n's I believe...and they were running 265/40/17...or was it 275? I can't remember. What ever it was...the rear tire was alot taller than the front...and the car leaned forward a bit.
