^ap2v1 rear wheels wont fit on the front center bore is deferent front to rear if that's what u where think of doing

I have about a 3 finger gap now on my ap2 front wheels. would 17x8.5 +51 with 245 fit if I set the camber to -1.5 or -2. or am I still putting my fenders in danger on hard turns?

 

Yes, if you address the center bore issue. Either machine the wheel bore from 64.1 to 70.1 or run a 5mm spacer.


They will stick out almost 1" further than stock and require a fender roll.

 

I was planning on boring out both wheels to 70.1 and getting hub centric rings so I can rotate the tires

 

Looking to the fitment pros here for a clarification how much more (inwards or outwards a set will sit) compared to AP2 V2 wheels. "Wanting to keep stock camber as well as not have to roll fenders, tab relocate etc"...

I'm lowered on Tein S springs (I believe to be -1") lower then stock? honestly not 100% certain.

Aftermarket wheel and tire size in consideration is:

17x7.5 +50 front with 215/45/17 MPSS tires
17x9 +63 rear with 245/40/17 MPSS tires

Stock AP2 of course being

17x7 +55 offset w / 215/45/17
17x 8.5 +65 offset w / 245/40/17

If someone can give me a visual idea on how much in or out these will fit or some method of calculating that would be excellent. Want I want to avoid here ultimately is to have to roll fenders and modify anything to fit comfortably, basically want to bolt on and go nothing else.
Also MPSS from past experience generally fit (bigger) then some and hoping these stock sized tires on wheels both 1 half wider overall would not appear or be (too stretched)?

I appreciate any guidance folks.

 

I'm really thinking of going 235/40/17 17x9 +45 squared to be able to rotate my tires, have a bit more fender clearance and because the Nankang NS2R's are a great deal in that size where I live right now (and they don't come 245/40). I know this isn't a preferred size for most S2000 owners as I've read through many of the wheel and tire discussion threads but it seems to be a good compromise for street with a handful of trackdays. Thoughts? Opinions? Loud noises?

Don't do this. One you still need to roll the fenders even with the 235/40/17 and they are smaller rolling diameter than stock. Second Nankang tires are absolute garbage tires. If you are even thinking about tracking the car spend the money and do this right. Buy at least a 245 and a good tire. Roll the fenders, buy 245 or 255 tires and buy good quality tires not just whatever is cheapest.

 

I understand where you're coming from but I've read good things about the Nankang NS2R even in track day use (yes, yes they're chinese, I know). And they only come in the 235/40. I feel like that will provide a little bit more space once I roll. I've used everything from Nitto NT01, Falken 615/615k, Toyo R888, Sumitomo HTR3 and others so I feel like I might take a shot on these Nankangs to conform to my budget lately. I respect your opinion though and totally get where you're coming from.

 

The size still sucks though. If the fenders are rolled a 245 fits easily. Seems like you have made up your mind though so go do it and report back.

 

Magna I went to that site.

Says outside in front will be 11.4mm more poke over stock, inside 1.4 onwards more.

Rear says 8.4mm more poke then stock and 4.4 more inwards.

So 1" lower and just looking at the inners it (seems close)? Or unless I'm not thinking clearly on how the tire travels and moves inwards during compression? Does anyone see that 11.4 more front and 8.4 more back being an issue?

 

Need some help v2:

Car has stock fenders, prefer NOT to roll them, came to me on Eibach Pro Plus lowering springs (~1" drop according to the seller) and is currently on OEM AP1 rims.

Instead of staggered 18" sizes (as I posted above)

18” - 7.5J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +50 RE30
18” - 8.5J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +52 RE30

On Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z2s F&R

Can I just run Square 245s on:

RE30 CS 17” - 9J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +63

Wheel/Tire Fitment guide says:

Existing / New
Diameter 631.9mm 627.8mm
Circumference 1985.2mm 1972.3mm
Poke 27.6mm 51.3mm
Inset 137.6mm 177.3mm
Speedo error 0% 0.65%
Reading at 30mph 30mph 30.2mph
Reading at 60mph 60mph 60.39mph
Ride height gain 0mm -2.05mm
Arch gap loss 0mm -2.05mm

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 39.8mm closer to the suspension strut.
The outer rim will poke out 23.8mm more than before.

Manga?

Thanks man. I'm confused by their shipping options, but at least they're legit.
