If you need to stretch a 225 tire on a 9.5 inch rim to prevent rubbing, the wheels don't have the proper offsets for the s2000. I'd be very unhappy if Tire Rack sold me that setup and I wouldn't trust that combo with any aggressive driving or track time.

 

k guys get the point thank you I will see what i can do

 

Just as a reference, I ordered the same wheels and overrode the Tirerack's tire size recommendation. Here is the receipt confirmation:

front 17x8.5 +55, 225/45/17

rear 17x9.5 +68, 255/40/17

no rubbing issues

 

If you sell your 18's and you can't find anybody to buy the.. let me know!! I'll definately take the out of your hands.

 

hey FP, i heard the 17's look more like 16 due to the face of the rim or somethign of that nature...is that true? i am looking to pick these up but now have doubts...what do you think and say? do they look smaller then stock?

 

Awesome wheels with perfect offsets.

 

Tires replace 245 in the rear tirerack said the 255 come with a warning that they rub and have no warranty because fender mods need to be made.
