s2000 wheel offset & tyre help!

sweet.

well the thing is..i still want 17 x 9 rims on all fours.

wot offsets would i need to make them sit flush on all fours (considering tyre size + no scrubbing)? =)

cheers!!

Mine sit dead flush if thats what you're looking for?

I run the following:
18x7.5 +45mm (215 rubber)
18x8.5 +49mm (225 rubber)

No scrubbing, and can go larger tyre size easily enough.

Just remember, 1 inch is equal to about 24mm, so if you're going to change widths, you need to adjust the offset number too.

PS: I have them up for sale at the moment.....

I did a lot of research before I bought 17 x 9 +54 F & R. This offset should give an aggressive look but camber of around -2 degrees is needed to keep the top of the tyre flush with guard. Tyre being 255/40. With a smaller tyre like 235 which just fits 9inch wide, you should be able to fit this offset a lil easier.

Hope this helps

18x8.5 +43 will rub if you lower it too much.

i've been looking around and asking ppl and stuff..they all come up with different offsets for 17x9 all round, and their ones were even lower offsets...so with ur setup...does the guards need to be rolled at all to fit? (even with say that -2 camber)

im also curious as to how long the tires would last with the -2 camber.

if u dont mind could u also post a pic!!

much appreciated!! =D

Everything you need to know is here.

-2 wont wear your tyres unless you have an aggressive toe setting. UK s2000 has -2 camber stock on the rears.

17x9 +42 wont fit.

This is flush..



Take a look at this thread to see other peoples setups, alot of non staggered setups in here as well. Some people post their setups and camber and tyre sizes.

hey guys,
the set of rims that im looking at...well the ones i want is 17x9's on all fours.
the thing is..the highest offset they offer is +44.

i was wonder if these would fit (17x9" +44) in the F&R.
if they dont, wot could i do to make these fit?

[ludecrs]

This is 17x9 +45

[civicem1]

F 17x8 + 44 (215/45; No camber, No fender roll).
R 17x9 + 44 (235/45; 1degree camber + fender roll to come)

The most agressive offset you can run without having to roll guards, on a 8" wide rim is +48 and +60 on a 9" rim. However your playing with the life of the factory front guards. There aren't many rim manufactures that make decent offsets for S2K's, other than common japanese rims.

[ludecrs]

Thats not entirely true.

I had 19x8 all round +43 (with a 3mm spacer, thus effectively +40) and I didn't have to roll guards - but they did only ever scrub going down my street where theres a rather large dip in the road. I never scrubbed anywhere else though.

I agree, at factory ride height, but not when it's lowered.
