Thanks! Yeah, it is a very nice car to own over here, if only the roads were better though.

Dont' understand why people spend all that money on wheels then put crap tires on that's not even the correct size. Tires are the most important aspect of a car's handling. It's not hard to order from tirerack.

Calm down. Tires on my AP1s were toast, didn't want to spend additional money on new tires for those while I waited for tires to be shipped.
Yeah, true tires could be ordered from TireRack pretty easily. Try living in Hawaii, you'll learn shipping on everything is a bitch.
I'm not going to pay an additional $150 for shipping to get a little better tire and handling when I can sacrifice it a bit, there's not even a track down here. I know my tire size isn't ideal for my rim size, but regardless, it'll work. It's not putting my life in jeopardy. People have different preferences on the way they like their cars.

^Didn't mean to offend. It's just a pet peeve of mine to see crappy tires on a great handling car like the S2000, especially when people spend money on new wheels.

Post some more pics everyone! Thinking of getting a set for myself. Can't decide whether I should go for a staggered or non staggered set. 18x8.5 +38 F and 18x9.5+40 R or 18x9.5+40 all around. Also, I've noticed most guys who have this set end up trying to sell.. is that because of the unpracticality of -ve 3ish camber significantly reducing rubber life? Can anyone explain in depth the value of having the option of rotating the wheels for a non staggered set up?

I'm looking to get 4 new tires I have 4 NT03+M wheels 18x7.5 +42 offset... What tire size setup can I order to make this work? What I have in mind ATM is front: 215/40/18 and rear 235/45/18 (My front is lower than the back right now and I kinda like the look) which is why I want the 45 rear instead of 40. Please advise! I figured you all might know this better than me. I want to work with what I've got even though I understand the next size up for this wheel is 9.5 width.

GT Motoring has stepped up and is doing a group buy on SBC nt03 in 18x9.5+40. We will need 5 people to sign up before they place the order. 10 total spots available. These are going to be SICK!
