Default Wheels

I have some new wheels 18x9.5 20 offset all around and I need some tired that would fit good. I recently had some 235/40r18 but they were to big for the front, it would rub when I turn the steering wheel. I don't mind having a stretch look but I just need help. If any of you guys have the chikara wheels that size let me know what tire size you used

The reason they rub is the wheels wernt even remotely made to fit a s2k. Buy new wheels or go widebody.Your last thing to worry about is trying to find some tires to fit the mess you've created.
Running stretched tires is just going to add more to your problem.

You bought the wrong wheels for the S2000, unless as stated above you want to go widebody and spend a ton more $$. You'll need much higher offsets, and a 9.5" wheel up front is pushing it, unless you have some fender work done (pulled fenders). And even then with the right offset and size it will be close.

And honestly the amount of work needed to make those wheels fit correctly and look decent isn't even worth it. Not knocking your wheels or anything but for what you would spend to make them look good and still have knockoff wheels go buy a set of rays,volk,advan that fit perfect perform perfect and look great all at the same time without tearing apart your car./

Well I was planning on getting jsracing fenders and the asm fender flares for a wider look. You think that would work?

Believe you would still run into inner spacing issues on the front with that size wheel but honestly you really would be better off buying something suited for the s2k a quality set of wheels that's sized correctly doesn't have to break the bank. That way your car will ride properly and you wont have to use dangerously stretched tires. The s2k isn't the car to cheap out on wheels and tires on its a drivers car so whats the point in owning it if it drives horribly. Just my .02
A set of RPF1's can be had for under a grand and would be night and day over what you're currently running in terms of quality and functionality.
