why not?..

just use two sets of front wheels from an s2000 if you can get a hold of them. That way you'll have the look you want and the widths will be the same.

Do you know if the offset will even fit on your car anyway?? Its not always just a matter of bolting them up and driving away.

^^^yep..

but some people have to learn the hard way if they don't wanna listen and try to make excuses and justifications for themselves...

I say leave this thread as is and let him do what he wants.

we really should have a "Funniest threads ev4r" section

I dont think people are actually reading what im trying to say... I dont want exactly the s2000 rims.. they dont fit.. I was saying.. if I were to buy a set of rims with the rear having a wider width.. what would be the consiquences?. and how would this effect my ride..? i used s2000 as an example

I just googled "wheel offset"

Lets see,
Effects of wrong offset on the rear for a fwd car.
Lets compile a long list so this bloke cannot justify himself and keep on going about how he wants this SO badly.
Ill start the list-
1. wheels will stick out past your guard, if your car is lowered AT ALL, the body of your car will be resting on the top of your tyre. To correct this problem (depending on the offset of ur vechile and the whell to see if its even possible), you'll have to get the guards rolled.
2. If your wheel/tyre comes past your guard(sticks out) it is illegal in NSW (don't know in other states).
3.having wheels with wrong offset, will mean bye-bye to U turns, and in ur case prob 3 point turns and round abouts. I hope you(and other drivers) have patience because your going to be doing about 10point turns to turn around.

those are the 3 i came up with. Thats basically 3 reasons for you NOT to do this. I am sure people will add to this list, just so you can see even more reasons to justify why ppl are telling you not to do this.

+ the consequences of you having wider wheels on the rear will make you look like a douchebag, because you own a FF.

[Boban]

it can be done

[JasonGilholme]

fark that looks shit.

[FAT VTI]

Quite possibly the ugliest civic in the world.

This will answer the question on why you shouldn't do it. IT looks like that!

hey all.. was just wondering why i cant put s2000 wheels on my car?
ive been told i cant because the rear wheels are wider than the front..
what problems will this cause?.. =S

^^^^^ as above mentioned is SO SO TRUE!

I dont think people are actually reading what im trying to say... I dont want exactly the s2000 rims.. they dont fit.. I was saying.. if I were to buy a set of rims with the rear having a wider width.. what would be the consiquences?. and how would this effect my ride..? i used s2000 as an example

If you used wider rear tyres on a FWD car, can get more grip in the corner from better contact patch under side loads. More grip in the rear compared to the front in a FWD car = understeer. S2000 gets over this because it applies power to the rear wheels, this minimising the load on the front tyre and evening it out in the end.
