might get some rota d2
with quite abit of fiddling bumper tab relocation, bumper shaving, guard rolling i'm running 18x8 +45 225/35 front 18x9 +43 245/40 rear and lowered enough tyres sit under guards around 1cm

you will have to wait and see?
Whats the smallest size and lowest offset you can run on a s2k?
hi guys.
i planning to get a set of rims 18x7.5 offset +42 on all 4 wheels.
will these have a problem on a not lowered car?
any help will be appreciated. thanks
They'll fit easily enough. Rears may look slightly off, but probably not noticably ugly or anything.
oic. thanks.
from the chart i'm guessing it is best to use
front : 205
back : 235
for tyres?
these wheels will work wont they?
Front 19x8.5 - 235/35/19 with +38 offset
Rear 19x9 - 265/30/19 with +45 offset
Fronts will likely need a pull / roll / camber etc to fit that sizing.
Definatly needs a pull :D
Why don't you guys just read the thread that ludecrs linked..? It's there for a reason
hehe =] ill search b4 i post next time, might get a set of buddy clubs
hey guys
how about another different setup?
i was thinking along the lines of 17x9" +44 fronts on 225/45/17 and 18x9.5" +38 rears on 245/35/18.
how do u think the ride feel would change from running 17's all round to 17 fronts and 18 rears? any disadvantages?
(im running 17x9" +44 on 235/45/17 all round atm)
and how about the sidewalls? is the 245/35/18's gona look too small/narrow compared to the 225/45/17's ?
would the stretch of 225/45/17 over 9" be enough to make it look even (or look even in wheel circumference) with the low profile of 245/35/18 over 9.5"?
last question ahaha. i've never dealt with 18" rims and 35 profiles...i've heard ppl say that 35profiles are really thin and that potholes could damage the rim (especially when the 35 profiles are stretched). would u recommend 255/35/18's instead or 245/35/18s be alright?
cheers guys !
*or do u think im being too creative and stupid now? lol*
What rims do you have atm :O
18's will feel abit more rough
yeap thinner tyres could mean damage to your rims depending on what you hit, not to say 17" wont be the same.
gunmetal work emotion cr kais =D
Nice like my old rims cept I only had 17x9+44 at the rears
I miss them :(
I am looking at cr kai rims too. did the 17x9 +44 fit without any mods and what specs were your running at the front? and what spec tyres did you end up using? Thanks.
17x9 +44 will need a fender roll on the rears!
i remember vyets ran 17x8 +47 in the front ? if i remember correctly, i dont think u need to do any mods to the fenders with that.
im running 17x9 +44 on all 4 corners, and the only problem i've had is running wide tyres on the front (235/45/17's lol) and that eventually bends ur stock fenders if u dont roll them (only cuz of the way u drive up driveways etc...). when the current ones run out of rubber, gona change to 225/45's fronts instead, and maybe some 255/40s on the rears! =D
hi guys, has anyone tried on Lenso DC5-v2, 18x8 (5x114.3) before? Would appreciate some comments on them? reckon it'll sit well?
would love a set of cr kai's but bit tight on budget atm ...
Ta
what's the offset on that wheel?
for some reason, you can only search them as Tenso's but sold in AU as Lenso ..
there's offset of 25, 37 and 45.
http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/main.php?page=wheels
+37 offset on a 9 inch rim wuld b ideal
sits the best imo
im running 18x9 +38 on the rear and its perfect!
doesnt poke out like stupid but doesnt sit inside n look weak.
reckon I'll do 18*8 +45 front and 18*8 +37 rear. thoughts?
would i require fender roll? thx
rear most liekly, depends how much camber u run n how low the car is and tire size
front, no chance
front will fit, but you need roll, you ALWAYS need to rolll your front guards if you plan on lowering you car.
Those sizes will fit if you run 225's all round
Sorry in bringing an old thread back up, but just wondering if at 17x9 +45mm RPF1 will fit for the front and rear?
If it doesn't what would i need to do to get it to fit?
Thanks Guys
You will need a roll of the fenders F&R if you wish to run a chunky tyre all round.
RPF1 17x9 +45 with a 255/40 all round is a popular track setup in the SCCA / USA.
GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
17x8/ 17x9 +33 RIMS WILL THEY FIT ON A S2000?? without running camber ?!?! and what tyres!
THANKSSS DUDES
Thanks, i was thinking 235/45 for front and 255/40 for rear?
So your suggestion will be a 255/40 all around for the Rims that Ill be getting?
might as well ask a noob question would 16x8 +40 look to small for a s2k? So slightly wider then stock wheels?
depends on the style of the wheel being a 16"
there is a gallery on S2KI.com with 16" wheels. some look good. some look gay balls

now to answer ur question of camber, it depends wot type of look ur going for?
full tyres? (F:225/45 and R:255/40) or
ap2 spec tyres? (F: 215/45 and R: 245/40) or
stretched ish? (F:205/45 and R:235/40)
dont quote me on this, but stretchedish look will require at least -2.5 to 3*camber on the rears and about say -1.5 to 2* on the front
and obviously full tyres would need a bit more camber.
i'd go for ap2 spec tyres lol
im running -3* camber all round but 0 toe, toe is the main factor that kills tyre life yoo
thanks for that what's your opinion on bbs rs 16x8 on an s2k? look small and gay?Quote:

2x 18x8inch 40mm offset and 2 x 18x9inch 40mm offset
what tyres do i run at the back and at the front.
staggered rims..
not featuring dish.
i want it to look as oem as possible without too much camber.
<3
with that fitment it'll look nothing close 2 oem.
ur rim will poke a little it if u run stretch on the rear and ur tires will buldge out iif u dont run stretch
and the camber will be determined on how much u lower it
i guess it depends how low u wanna go!Quote:

F 215/40 and R 235/40
i'd say about -1.5* F and -2.5* R on camber
could try -2* rear but would need a roll of the guards too
Hey,
New to the forum and have done a HEAP of reading up!!
I just wanted to confirm 100% before purchase...
Will 18x8.5f and 18x9.5r with 39 offset all round fit ok? Happy to do some minor guard rolling and minor camber if required.
Was thinking 225 and 245 Tyres.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Cheers
Ben

hey Guys i just recently bought my s2k and i already dropped it on king springs which is a 1.5 inch drop all around.Now i have 2 choices of rims im after one offers 18x8.5 +40 all around and the other offers 18x8.5 +40 fronts and 18x9.5 rear +40 could you tell me if i could fit these wheels with out a prob with only rolling the guards and if it will stick out heaps??? And also the tyre size you recommend me to use aswell???
Look at the post on the page before it will give you a rough idea of how much it will stick out..
Thanks for the pic vyets.
Couped up - do u have any pics of yours lowered on king springs? What is the ride like? Was tossing up whether or not to get them or coilovers...
Hey DBG its low but not slammed i dont mind them... how ever i would prefer coilovers i just ran out of money thats why i bought kings springs LOLZ!!!
Ive been running this setup for about 6 months..
19x9.5 all around with 235 Tyres and +35 Offset. Outcome: had to raise the car. Its now only lowered about an inch. But looks sick..

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum so bare with me on this question :). I'm currently running on cr kai works 17x8 and 17x9 dont know my offset as the owner forgot what the offsets were.. I think he said +35 and +45 that was on the top of his head and he admitted he doesnt remember.. Front tyres are 225/45 and rears are 255/40.. But I was just wondering how much negative camber i would need for them to fit into my rear guards on stock camber adjustment.. Also i'm going to lower my car on Eibach pro kit springs which are about a 1" drop and i've heard people saying that lowering your car already gives natural camber? And what other solutions would there be around this problem? *running on stock shocks and springs atm stock everything* Any help would be great :)
Heres some photos of them sticking out of my guards not much im guessing.. Thanks guys.

you don't need more camber just roll the guards and everything should be sweet once you lower it. just get an alignment after lowing the car or you will get uneven tyre wear.
So the 1" drop will probably give the camber i need for it to fit into my guards without rubbing? Because atm i have 2 12" subs in the boot plus a fibreglass box which makes the back heavy as and then makes it easy to rub together.. Also my camber is stock atm, hasnt been touched by any of the owners.. wouldnt need to adjust them would i?Quote:

I've already got them rolled and still rubs. So I'll just lower it see if it fits if not I'll need to camber it then get alignment?Quote:

if it's not rubbing that then take off the wheel and look and see what is actually rubbing.
Yeah my brothers friend mentioned something about trimming the rear bar I guess I'll ask him about it later but question is.. If I lower it with a 1" drop and with my rolled guards, the wheel shouldn't hit the guard anymore? But most likely to hit the rear bar is that correct?Quote:

When you hit a bump and your wheels scub does it sound like it's rubbing metal or plastic? also look at your tyre is there plastic on the rear tyre or it's straight cutting through your tyre. Once you trim the rear bar it shouldn't rub at the height your at, atm or when you lower it.
I can't really tell. It's not over bumps let's say I'm going 70 in a 70 zone and the road is bumpy it'll rub. Only when I'm going fast it rubs. Not sure what it sounds like to be honest. I'm goin to cut trim my rear bar and go for a drive tonight and see if it still rubs or not. And update you with what happens probably later tonight . If it still rubs it's probably hitting the fender aye?Quote:
Originally Posted by vyets

When it rubs metal it sounds like well.. metal like a can rubbing on the floor. When it rubs your plastic rear bumper well it sounds like plastic sounds like your front end when you're going up a driveway and it rubs totally different sounds.
From the picture it dosen't even look like your guards are rolled but of corse I can't tell as I can't see under it. trim the rear bar and relocate the bumper tab and see how you go. that most likely will fix it.
I'll check all that once I get home and am able to check it.Quote:

Mine is bending in slowly too. So that might mean that it's rubbing into the rear bumper and hitting against the fender. And I went to a shop to get my guards rolled so yeah.. I'm pretty sure they are. Yeah I'll be doing that tonight so I'll update you then :)
Fixed my problem :) shaved the rear bar and relocated the mount and doesn't scrub and realized it was only rubbing the rear bar not the guards so all good thanks for your help vyets. + Rep :)
haha told ya, easy yea :D good stuff now slam that shit!
very easy :) slam? Nah.. The roads i gotta take got bumps and slants everywhere and going into shopping centres, even in car parks are too high. And dont even get me started about getting in to parking for work, speedhumps arent as bad though. but thanks for tip (Y)Quote:

also seeking advice on tyre sizes? ideally i want to go 245/40/17 all around but i'm not sure whether pulling/flaring is required for the front fenders? ideally i just want to roll the front fenders and avoid flaring to keep the stock fender look. this is assuming the car will be dropped an inch and no ridiculous camber (it's my daily driver). will 245s fit with just the roll?
lastly, for the people that have lowered their cars, just want to know if it's common to shave off the "mudflaps" or leave them? as mine are already scraping occasionally even at stock height.
thanks in advance.
Ty rolled my guards. Ty as in from Fine Fitment. He will roll them fine, just don't ask to have them flared.
cheers for the advice :)
oh and guys, by mudflaps, i'll clarify in case i'm using the wrong term... i mean the part of the wheel well liner that extends below the actual wheel well and sticks out beneath the chassis. just wondering if these need to be trimmed when lowering..
well lets just say...if ur low enough, ur tyres will 'rub' against them on bumps etc and will eventually be 'trimmed' for u lol, happened to me
if not then ur fine
nothing major though!
edit: oh i think i know what u meant, the black rubber/plastic part under the front bumper-ish?
dw, if ur over 100mm in ride height, it should be fine =)
I still have mine there. Just well worn.
OK, Im new to the whole "upgrading wheels" world. Iv narrowed it down to two styles- Lenso Muse & CSA Dominators and im thinking 19' but im a novice when it comes to offsets ect, Does it have something to do with scrubbing ect ????? Can someone shed some light for me ?????
Have a read of this if you're new to fitment etc

Hey guys just a quick question i found the wheels i want to roll one they are XXR 522 (te37 replicas) i was thinkin of getting 18x8.5 +48 front with 215 or 225 tyres and 18x9.5 +38 rear with 235/245 tyres will these fit on my car lowered on king springs 1.5 inch drop????
yeap will fit but still need a roll
