Originally posted by Rspec99 I think I already know the answer to this question, but will a 15" rim fit on a S2k?
If you have the correct bolt pattern and offset, it might. Depends if the wheel has a high edge on the inner face. If it has no raised lip there, it might just clear the front caliper.
Thanks for the response Xviper! I know the bolt pattern will fit but the offset is probably somewhat insufficient. Nonetheless, I'm going to trial fit these 15" and make sure they don't interfere with the brake calipers.
This is going to be my first winter where I HAVE TO drive the S2000 in the snow (It usually sleeps in the garage until spring) My 15" snow tires were from our previous Acura Legend and it'll save me some $$$ if I can use them on the S.

With the Blizzak LM-22 and the ASA JS6 the package is 1,072.00 plus shipping. We would ship the wheels and tires mounted and balanced and ready to go on the car. We also send along new lug hardware with the alloy wheels.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Since it was looking like several of us are looking for a set, maybe Jim can sharpen his pencil and look at a group buy?

These are the rims that Jim was suggesting:
I just ordered mine from Jim at the Tire Rack I'm ready for the snow to fly.

Discount Tire has a winter package of Arctic Alpin 205/55-16 with 4 alloy wheels for $832. However, all 4 tires are the same size. Would this be a problem and if so, why? They use 5-spoke wheels which I think look better than the wheels Jim@tirerack recommends. I've ordered from them and Tire Rack before and have gotten great deals and service. Are the blizzaks better than the Michelins? I'm considering dumping my integra and making the S2000 a daily driver and we do get snow here in michigan so I need a good set of snows to get me through the deep stuff. Any help from Jim or anyone else would be appreciated. We got our first flurries today.
The Alpin is a very good winter tire but I think the tread pattern and design on the Blizzak are a bit more aggressive for snow traction (the Alpin "might" be a slightly better ice tire). It is NOT a good idea to have the same size tire on both ends of the car. This car's suspension was designed to have a "staggered" tire size front/rear. If you plan to drive on dry roads at freeway speeds, you should have staggered tire sizes. If you NEVER plan to drive more than normal inner city speed limits or on dry roads, then fine, you can get by with a non-staggered configuration. Anyone who would recommend 4 tires of the same size does NOT understand this car very well.
