Well I can tell you that if the car wasn't lowered, the 225 would still be too wide for the front with that offset. The rear would be OK. Again, that would be if you were not lowered. Since you are, I don't know if the rear would fit, but the front certainly would not.

I bought an 01 S2000 that has enkei 18 inch rims on it when I got the car . After driving the car a few times noticed that small ruts in the road cause my car to pull hard in both directions depending on the side of the rut I am in . In looking at the rimes better noticed they are the same all the way around . What would be the correct size and offset for the front rims on an 01 with an aftermarket 18 inch wheel ? any input would be great

Oh - I went from Comcast to Verizon FIOS, so my Comcast account no longer exists. When I get a chance I'll move it to another server somewhere.

I think this calc would help with "fine tuning" offset and also giving you something that's easier to "visualize" when it says "The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 24mm" you know you will have an extra 1" of wheel sticking out along w. the buldge of the tire on top of that.

nice calculator j0oftheworld
I am contemplating getting a set of SSR Professors with the setup
Fronts = 18x8.0 +56
Rears = 18x9.5 +62
Calc says for the front:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 14mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 12mm
for the rear:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 10mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 16mm
I am lowered on coil-overs about an inch or so all around, and professionally fender rolled up front, nut not in back.
From the calc is sounds like I should be fine in front if it sticks out a little, but will I have a problem in the rear? If it extends the extra 16mm would that rub or look stupid?
Any help is appreciated

This is why I wrote the guide. You don't really need to use the calculator and make some guesses. Also, the calculator is only telling you were the wheel will be... and it's the tire that rubs, not the wheel, right?
Look at the first post. All your answers are there. With your offsets, you should be able to use a 225 in front and a 275 in the rear. The width of the wheel is secondary because it doesn't change where the tire is (only slightly).
