Hi everyone,

Looking to get RPF1s, but hear that they are hard to fit the s2k?

Anyway, I came across this post: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/877...h-rims-wheels/
and the wheel dimensions he is running seems to not match what I had in mind after reading this thread..

Am i missing something here? How is he running such low offsets and lowered, and still fitting so good?

I was looking to lower my car about 1 inch (or just to get rid of the wheel gap) and running the following RPF1s:
17 x 8 +35 OR +45 FRONT
17 x 9 +45 REAR

Seeing different posts is just confusing me.. I feel like the only way i'm going to get an answer is to get a tyre shop to test fit 50 different set ups


EDIT: I still am yet to understand the person's wheel specs in that link, but have decided on my wheel choice and no longer require help. I'm going with 17x9 +45 rear and 17x8 +45 front. Going to have to roll rear fenders n should be good for a 1-1.5 inch drop. (let's just hope the research i've done turns out to be worth it)

 

You are correct in your research. That person is running overly stretched tires and because of that he didn't roll his fenders. I would still bet he is rubbing in the front and the rear will rub if the suspension compresses enough. To run correct tire sizes on those SSR's you would need to roll the fenders.

 

And with 225/45/17 +255/40/17 federal 595RS-r ?
<as just bought some and rather than fit to my V1 17s>

Love the RPf1 really want these
so as above 17x9 +45 rear and 17x8 +45
ps
got some Eibach springs to go on but standard height atm

 

Yes roll fenders relocate tabs run a little more camber and you'll be fine.

 

Based on your advice, found and bought a pair of gold advans in 18x9.5 +45 so I can use with my set of 18x7.5 +45. Rears already rolled.

Recommend me tire sizes please.

Also, no big deal if front and rear tires don't match right? Just in case I find some deals on CL from now until spring as I'm in no rush to mount tires as she will be hibernating next month.

 

Don't cheap out on tires. You want to have the same tires all around. Those rears will fit but you will need more camber probably -2 to -2.5 and I would run a 245/35/18 in the rear and a 215/40/18 front.

 

I'm looking into buying a set of ce28ns, will 17x9 +63 fit without rolling the fenders? I know it will for the backs but what about the fronts?? Thankyou.

Will do on the tires.

 

17x9 +45 Enkei Kojin with 245/40 RS3's x4 getting mounted Wednesday. Stock ride height. Tell me about this alignment:

-2 camber F&R
Max Caster
1/8 total toe in the rear

 

Hey guys,

I was wondering if the rims off my 2013 wrx will fit my s2000.

Current set up on the s2k is stock ap2 v2 wheels and tire size. ( I had the car lowered with 25mm spacers all around but took that off last year)

Stock height

Front and rear fenders rolled with tabs relocated


WRX wheel size is 17x8 +53 235/40/17 all around.
Will be getting 5x114.3 to 5x100 25mm spacers all around. (25mm is the only size i could find. i think 20mm would have been better)


What do you guys think?
