s2000 wheel offset & tyre help!

[9large]

Yes, i agree with you...thats what im trying to explain to ludecrs... it doenst matter 20' or 17', the offset will be the same if they are the same type of wheels.... coz it sounded that ludecrs referring that 20' is more stick out than 17'... i could be wrong what ludecrs trying to say

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.

Kinda missed my point. I was saying you can fit a 17" tyre with aggressive offset under our guards much easier than you can fit a set of 20's which require rolled & pulled guards of equal offsets.

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

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 ?

[ludecrs]

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.

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

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 ?

[vyets]

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

[dc5ive]

so 18 X 8 45 and 18 X 9 45
might get some rota d2
