Default Widest wheels on an s2k that fit without rubbing

I want to know if its possible to be able to find/make(widen) a 17" wheel to make it fit with max 2 deg camber and at the same time fill in as much of the wheel well as possible both in the front and back. With proper size tires. However, im trying to figure out what will fit with J's racing fenders up front and ASM over fenders(shaved) in the rear. I believe that means we'd have an extra 30mm up front and 25mm in the back. I realize that it might be possible to fit a 12" wheel in the rear w/o hitting any suspension components as long as you have the right offset. Not sure about the front though. Realistically, i'll be going with a x9.5 + 28 or 22 though.

Hope this doesnt sound too crazy?

This kinda look...



I also realized supra offsets are similar to ours...Im thinking a 17x11.5 +35/40 would be golden but still not sure on the fronts

You will have an issue finding tires. I will let s2000junky chime in on the rest since he knows the most about this.

Do I have to again?


I don't feel like it. I'm still waiting for all those residual checks to start coming in

You should start saving your posts in a word document and copy and paste whenever the question pops up. I feel like I read the same thing everyday anyway

Thats not a bad idea at all, I'm starting to consider it.


Large wheel/tires seem to be a new trend brewing.

"Achually" I read you other post,

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/998...t-or-too-wide/

Did some rough math in my head and it seems something like a 17x12 +45 would fill the wheel well up with over fenders. LOl cant imagine 315 tires on an s2.
Once again, I highly doubt ill do this but it would be an interesting project. I havent figured out what you'd be able to run up front though. Maybe a 17 x11 +45?

Well if my 295/17's don't get reproduced in Khumos new 720 line up that's coming in 2014 to replace the XS, then I will be moving to a 315/35/17 with some form of over fender and spacers. This size are more common so it wouldn't be the end of the world to do, but i'm not really that exited about the prospect, simply because I'm not thrilled with hacking up my car to accommodate over fenders that I really don't like the looks of, the car however will appreciate the added rubber as its still slightly biased to overseer at the limit of adhesion believe it or not.

Yeah 11" +40-45 would work on the inside.

Your link(max fit under rolled/cut fenders):

New link(max fit under aftermerket fenders):

Added .5" on the inside width of the wheel to make up for offset change

^^^ My first link you are referencing is for 25mm wider front and rear fenders. Those wheel specs wont fit with rolled or even pulled stock fenders.
