Will this setup work guys without rolling fender or pulling them?

18x9 +35 5x114.3 225/35/18 or 235/35/18

18x9.5 +38 5x114.3 245/35/18 or 255/35/18

Don't want to do 18's I know there is a thread with 99.9% 17s on it want to do 18's I will be dropped on Swift SPEC-R Sport Springs which is about a 1.25" drop all around. Please I don't want to start a war here about why I should do 17's instead of 18s or anything all I want to know is will it rub and which tire should I do I don't want to do 40's because too much tire for me the car is going to be low so I really don't want to show too much tire.

Thank you

Mike

 

To give you a frame of reference, stock width wheel (8.5") start to rub around +45mm with no fender modification. Since you are 1" wider than that, and at 35mm offset, this is going to put you nearly 1" OUTSIDE the fender of your S2000. (22.5mm past the +45 rubbing threshold).

You will need to do a lot of pulling, flaring, and bending to make this work. A much better idea would be to just buy wheels that fit.

 

It wont work with just rolling the fenders?

 

No chance, you would need to roll/pull relocate the rear bumper tab and run some neg camber.

 

No chance. You can probably get away with a 18x8 +45 and a 18x9.5 +45 (since it's the offset that determines the rubbing) with a 215 and 245 tire. But, you'd be better off getting something else. Do you want something functional or not?

 

What if I do 18x8.5 +40 and 18x9 +35? What offset would u recommend? And yes I need it functional my car is my DD will be posting pics soon guys sorry for being so late she's dirty today and I was working all weekend didn't get a chance to wash.

 

The higher the offset the better if you don't want to do any modification to the fenders. Even a 18X9 ET45 will need some work.

 

Like I said the offset determine s the rubbing. 18x9 +35 is just as bad as 18x9.5 +35. The +40 offset up front will probably require fender work too. Look for offsets 50 and higher if you want easier fitment without headache. If you dont lower the car, you can probably get +45 to work without rubbing excepet over major bumps and dips on the highway. I ran a 17x9 +45 w 235 tire up front and swapped the front fender tabs for zip ties and never had problems, although I was on stock suspension.

 

Oh ok thanks guys well after all this info idk I'm confused I really want to do 18s but u guys scared me guess I have to do 17x9 all around with some stretched or thin tires

 

No, don't. Let me give you some more advice first. 17x9 is just as hard if not a harder fitment, unless you get 17x9 +60 or 17x9 +63 all around.

If you want Enkeis, get the PF01 in 17x9 +60 all around with 245/40/17 tires if you don't want to worry about any rubbing. Black or silver.





If you want 18" wheels, two of your better options are either:

OZ Ultraleggra from Tire Rack in 18x8 +48 and 18x9 +55. Black or silver.





Get Forgestars. They are 18" and you customize the offset. So you could run an 18x9.5 +60 in the rear and an 18x8.5 +55 in the front.
