Can anyone tell me if 7Jx16 H2 ET 49 and 8Jx16 H2 ET 49 specs off a BBS RS meshies would fit on our S2K? The rims are for Porsches/old school BMWs usually. Thanks!

these widths are better than the stock ap1 wheels widths but still not as good as the ap2 widths. 16" wheels are not my favorite as there is limited high performance tire options when you get over 225. the major problem you will run into is PCD. Porsche runs 5x130mm, bmw 5x120mm and we run 5x114.3mm. with out a redrill they won't fit on your lug studs. spacers with PCD change won't help as you are not running a conservative wheel to begin with in relation to width.

the offsets will fit alright though. 225 front 245 rear (if you can find one)

Thanks on the info. Can you explain to me more about the redrill, I never heard that before or if it is even safe to get it done, and what is PCD? Thanks! How about 205 Front 225 Rear?

The redrill is for the lug pattern. The S2000 has a 5x114 lug pattern and most BMW and Porsche have different lug patterns as Deception said meaning you would need to have a new lug pattern drilled into the wheel to mount it. Weather this is safe is debatable and you will read both sides of the argument. Beyond that they may also have a different hub bore which would cause more issues.

Personally I wouldn't go through all that trouble for wheels that are basically like the AP1 OEM wheels. There is bbs wheels out there that fit fine and are closer to the AP2 sizes which is an actual upgrade.

What tire size is ideal for 9.5 fronts with +57 and 10.5 rears with +60? Car is going to be lowered about an inch on Bilstein PSS

255 front and 275 or 285 rear. Fenders will need to be rolled.

What happened to the Excel Calculator?? Way too many pages to read all of it, but the link to the calculator on the first post doesn't work.

THanks
