Assuming the same offset of 38mm, 20x9 is a much bigger wheel and tyre combination than 17x8. Don't forget, it's not just greater diameter being 20", but it's also a an inch wider at 9". This means the rear tyres are going to extend by 46mm more than the stock AP1 setup. Add lowering and you're going to need new rear-fenders/fender extensions.

Whatever rocks your boat, but I can't see why you'd want to stick 20" wheels on an S2000; you'll completely destroy what the car was made to do.

IE: 20x8 +35 v 17x8 +35. The 17x8 will pretty much fit with just a camber adjustment. The 20's due to their stupidly large size, will require a roll and pull of the fender PLUS camber adjustment.

Yep, spot on :thumbsup:

17x8.5 +40 rear fits with the help of guard rolling & rear bumper tab relocation.

sorry guys ... but found another wheel
20x8.5 +45 5x114.3
all round
will a 8.5" wide wheel fit on the front of a s2000 ?

they'll stick out without a camber adj or fender roll.... or both.

my old 19x8 +43 (with 3mm spacer to clear calipers ths effectively +40) stuck out substancially on the front.

thanks ludecrs

Had 18 x 8.5 +45 on mine, maybe stuck out 1mm, camber will fix that and as long as you have stretched tyres probably wont even need camber either :thumbsup:

If they are +45 all round you may want to put a 5mm spacer on the rear as it just doesnt look quite right with the same offset all round.

18 x 8.0 +45 5h x 114.3 and 18 x 9.0 +48 5h x 114.3
will they fit no worries?
can i go a more agressive set up ?
+40 in the front and +45 in the rears ?

yea u can but ull prob rub just roll the guards! :D
go +45 front and +45 rears :D

so 18 X 8 45 and 18 X 9 45
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
