Think im pretty decided on going with the 18x10 with a 255/35/18. Wondering will the 255 tire sit nice and square on this setup or will it be stretched? from looking it up im seeing some stretched some not. maybe go with a 265 to be safe? i want zero or very close to zero stretch.

 

Provided you have the clearance, 265/35 would fit more square on a 10" wheel and provide the look you want.

 

Ill have to make them fit Thanks for the reply.

 

Hi!

I'm really new to the world of S2000s, and what they can fit, but I have a question:

18x9.5 +38 all around, either a 245/35 or a 255/35 - The car would be very low, with max -3* of camber all around.

I understand this would be fine for the rear with a 245/35 or even a 255/35, but I am concerned about the fronts. I don't even own the car yet, I'm just collecting my thoughts and getting a game plan.

Thanks for any help!

 

Jaor was running 17x9.5+38 square on 255s before he got overfenders. You can see how it looks here, might be able to find his alignment specs as well: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/106.../page__st__375

Personally, his setup is a little lower and more aggressive than I would go (it still looks great though). They will "fit" with a roll and probably pulling (especially in the front). I say "fit" with quotation marks, because it depends on your definition of fit.

 

So, in theory, a 18x9.5 +38 on the front would work relatively easily with a smaller tire size, no?



This is way too aggressive for me.

 

I wouldn't say that it's going to be "relatively easy". A smaller tire would provide some more clearance. Personally I think 9+45 is a much better setup on a stock fender car.

Manga is much better at giving wheel advice than I can.. but there are tons of threads out there regarding wheels/tires of all sizes.

 

Well, thanks for your input. I'm new to these cars. I came from the Volkswagen world, so it's quite a bit different over there.

 

There is a 18 x 9.5" +45 available, that would be much better for the front. You could either run 9.5" +45 all around or pair them with the +38 rear for a more aggressive stagger look.

 

9.5 +38 does not fit in front easily at all. Even with a 245 which will help a little bit but the wheel is very aggressive for the front. It can fit in the rear but still requires work. Front you'd need to pull the fenders a good amount and run -3 camber or more. Its not an ideal size for the front with OEM fenders.
