i was wondering what were to happen if i put 18x7.5 wheels all the way around the car? can i just put a wheel spacer in the rear? i just bought an s2k 3 weeks ago and i already had wheels from another car. pm if you know i was just curious.

If you have the correct offset (which you didn't mention) and if you get the proper profile of tire, it can be done. However, remember that this car requires a "staggered" tire/wheel configuration where the rears must be wider than the fronts for stability and control to be kept as intended. You can still put a narrower tire on those wheels for the front and a wider tire on them for the rear. I think with a 7.5 wheel, you can go as low as 225's (maybe even 215's) for front and 255's for rear.

If the offset is not correct, you "could" go with wheel spacers although this may not be the ideal route to take.
