Hi everybody, just wondering what wheels will be best for my s2000. I have stock suspension and do not plan on upgrading it anytime soon. I do plan on getting a larger front swaybar like the Whiteline one though. I am torn between 17*9 +63 wheels with 245 front and 255 rear and 17*7.5 up front with 225/215 and 17*9 +63 255 rear. This setup will be for mainly street and some autocross. Is it worth getting the 245 up front and having to deal with inner rubbing on the control arm? Will i be able to go faster and feel more confident with the 215 or 225 up front on my stock suspension versus a 245 up front becasue i will have less oversteer?

 

Most people run the 225/255 setup with no problems

 

I run 225/255 on stock ap2v1 wheels. on a 1 inch drop and i do perfectly fine.

 

I guess what i'm trying to ask is how will 245 front 255 rear on 17*9 wheels be on OEM suspension?

 

Hey! A guy that actually wants to run functional wheels! That never happens here.

I think you should be ok with the 245 up front if you get the sway bar and max out the camber which is prob -1.5 or -1.7 without camber joints.

 

I'm no expert but with that offset, won't he run into rubbing issues on the inside on full lock?

 

I'd probably go with the 225 and the 7-7.5 inch wheel up front. The money you will likely save on the wheels and tires will be good plus since you aren't doing a ton of Autox you won't be killing 245's up front on the street where you really don't need them.
