Default What would it take to fit this?

Is it even possible with fender pulling/rolling to fit these?
I'm quite interested in these wheels since I haven't seen many s2k owners with these, and I like to be different. Plus I love the rear concavity.

---5zigen FNORC-1 - Glossy Black w/ Polished Lip:
FRONT: 17x8 E+35
REAR: 17x10 E+35
---Kuhmo Ectsa MX
FRONT: 255/40/17
REAR: 275/40/17









pics obtained from revscene. credit goes to geby.

Thanks!

I don't know if the 255's will fit on an 8 inch wide wheel. With those tire sizes, I'm going with a widebody. I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in. (BSeriouS or silentdancer...)

The sizes of rims and tires are what's shown in the pic, so I guess 255 is fitting the 8's?

Silentdancer has pretty crazy setup but he doesn't have wb kit.

I do hope there's a way to fit those without going widebody.

they will fit. Here is what you need to do

Front:
Roll and pull fenders
Tires: 215/40 or 215/35 (you may be able to stretch a 205/40 if you want that "stretch look)
Camber: Roughly around -1.5

Rear:
Roll and pull fenders
relocate rear bumper bolt
Run 255/35 (if you want a stretch, 235/40 or 245/40)
Camber: atleast -3.0


If you really want them, I say go ahead and purchase them and then start doing the fender work. Fender roller would do just fine for the rolling and pulling. I would suggest having the wheels first and then work around it so your not "guesstimating" how much you should pull and roll. The result would be "flushness". Good choice on the wheels as well.

no not at all. Those tires are waaay too "meaty". The offsets are fine for "aggressive" fitment, but the tires need to go. Changing the tires would be your best bet to making them fit.

I personally do not like the streched look.

Thanks a lot for help.

If anyone else can chime, that'll be great. More confirmation the better.

no problem. If you dont like the stretch look, 215/40/17 in the front and 255/35/17 would be ideal. Good luck and if you decide to get them, post pics

This sounds like an impossible project for me. I need to be slammed to get -3 camber. But that doesn't work because I'm already scraping crazy with a small drop on Tein S-tech springs.

I really like the wheels though. Damn... need to think of ways...
