Default Wheels and Tires

Hi!
I am trying to find some wheels and tires for me S2000 after I put bodykit on it. Here is the recommendation regarding sizes, but I have had a hard time finding anything that would work. Any suggestions are appreciated.

"According to Parts helper you use the following sizes to fill in the wide body on the S2K.

You can go with a 17 or 18 inch wheel.

Width you can run a 10.5 inch wide all the way around with a +15 offset

If you want to stagger the wheels you can put a 9.5 inch wide on the front with a +10 offset and 10.5 inch wide on the rear with a +15 offset."

Thanks,
Ann

Ann,
Please read here first:

Who ever you talked to at Partshelper doesnt know what they are talking about. You CANNOT do +10 or +15 offset, staggered or non-staggered on an S2k unless you have a widebody kit. And even then I'm not sure. You CANNOT do a 10.5 inch rim in the front with oem fenders, not even sure if you could with aftermarket fenders.

Definately keep the setup staggered.

The other problem would be a 10.5 wheel on the front would tramline like crazy and you are really increasing unsprung weight.
