Hey guys hows it going. I just bought a s2k and to be honest i know nothing about wheel fitting so im asking for some guidance on the subject. Im open to everything from where to find a good set of wheels to where i can get them fitted perfect. Thanks!

most of us have to order wheels since typically no one stocks locally.
i had to wait 14 months for my custom offset SA3RV2's but it was worth it

I would set your ride height first. You can then establish the tolerances you have and can determine wheel specs and tire size as well as fender work from there. Are you looking for something aggressive /"flush" or more stock fitment?

The ride height is already set, i just need to figure out like you said the tolerances. You mean like the size of the wheel and stuff like that?

I would say figure out what wheels yup want and we can all chime in to help you figure out size and offsets to go with. If you are able to come out to the meet and you can see what some of us are running and we can see what you are working with and go from there.

deep dish is next to impossible to do on a s2 without over fenders and wider front fenders.
