Upsizing Wheels/Tires
I am interested in getting larger 17" or 18" wheels on my 2002 S2000. I understand about maintaining the rolling diameter of the tires, but I don't want the increased width of the tires to rub on the wheelwells. Can anyone who has upsized give me some advise on max wheel widths which will work on S2000's ??

I can't tell you the maximum diameter, but keep in mind, larger wheels slow the car down!!! Be wise in your decision. I wanted to upgrade the wheels on my car, but it seems to slow the car down too much because there is more wheel to turn, less acceleration.

Tire size
I have 18" Racingharts CP-035 R and I lowerd my car with Eibach springs about an inch. The tires I use are Perelli PNero Zero ZR.
Front 18" 225/40-18 Rear 18" 255/35-18 These are the factory settings. As long as you dont lower your car, these settings will not rub your rear fenders. |

I'm went with 18s all around. 8" front and 9" in the back.
Work Meister S2rs which can be offset perfectly for the S2000s. Look for Toda Racing and ask for Ali. I'm also running S03s and lowered the car with Eibach Pro Kit. Love it...period!!!

I went with 215/45/17 & 245/40/17 as the diameter was just about the same as the stock 16s.
It turns out the 04 came out with the same sizes. Dave |
