Right now I cannot be sure since I have messed with the suspension since putting the overfenders on and have not had an alignment yet.

 

pfff...headache!

 

It wont matter what your camber is with a 10 +35 with an honest installed ASM fender which is 25mm more then factory clearly. Plenty of camber leeway from min to max on the sweep. But -2 is a good performing street setting so thats what id aim for. Similar spec up front -1.5 /-2 range.

Stick with the 8.5 option up front, as long as it fits your aftermarket fenders. Its a better mate to the rear, whether its 9.5 or 10 - 255 you end up with.

 

I was thinking for 8.0 at the front so i can keep the factory aspect ratio of 1.5 inches front/rear.

 

You would be with the 10". Why bother with over fenders and a 9.5 when you can fit that width on a stock body without even rolling the fenders given the proper offset. At least go with a decent width like a 10" for your fender mods. Its the best performing mate for a 255 anyway. Run the 8.5/225 or 235/40 up front. You would also have an option to run larger 275 on a 10" and 245 on the 8.5 down the road if you wanted. 8/9.5 is more limited for accommodating more tire.

 

Nicely explained!

For the 8.5 i have the options of +30 (same as the ones i have now) and +40. Should i go with +40 or stay at +30, considering i go with 10.0 +38 at the rear?

My front fenders are rolled and slightly pulled.

EDIT: Camber at front is maxed out and i'm on the edge of the fenders! So with a camber of ~1.5 i better go with +40, right?

 

Hey all. I'm looking to get a squared setup for my 01 so I can rotate the tires around (yes, I'm aware of the pros/cons of the staggered setup). I'm stock suspension. I'm wondering what would be a good setup for running squared. I'm thinking the SCCA STR sizes might work, but I don't really need 255 wide tires for daily driving, though I may get a setup like that for track days. For daily driving (and so I can evenly wear my tires down with rotating) what would be a good recommendation for a squared setup? I'm thinking wheels that will fit 235's, or 245's but going for the balance between cost and performance. I looked over the fitment guide at the beginning but the recommended offset sizes were different for front and rear for the same size tires so I'm wondering what squared sizes people on here have run with no problems. Appreciate any help/insight you can provide.

 

17x9 +60 with a 245/40/17 all around. Enkei, TSW, and maybe some others make wheels in this spec. Any narrower a tire like a 235 and it is to narrow for the rear. At stock height you should not need a fender roll to fit these.

 

I've decided to pick up a set of work meister s1r's, problem is they are custom offsets so I've been debating how I should order them. My s2000 is stock bodied but I will be getting the fenders rolled and have a pair of coilovers. I was hoping to get a square set for tire rotation purposes and thought 17x9.5 +50 would do the trick, that will give me an 80mm lip. Does anyone have any experience with these wheels and good offsets for them for a stock bodied car? Is it worth sacrificing lip for BBK fitment down the road? It is mostly my daily driver but I plan on tracking it half a dozen times a year.

 

IMO, this is not a good wheel for what you are trying to accomplish. First of all, there is no way you are getting a 80mm lip in the front. There just isn't enough space to even clear the stock brakes, forget about a BBK. You need at least A disk front, maybe even R disk. You could probably get 80mm lip in the rear but won't be able to put that on the front. It would be compromising lip size in the rear to be able to rotate. You could run 9.5" but with different disk type front/rear to maximize lip, would not be able to rotate tires without dismounting though.

Also, this isn't a light weight wheel and it has a stepped lip which will make 17's look small. I'd be looking at those 9.5" +50 CE28. They are light, look good non-staggered, and have better brake clearance.

S1R would look awesome in 18's though, something like 9.5" front and 11" rear.
