235? not really meaty..even if they run a bit wider...run atleast OEM spec tire (245)..just my opinion
haters gon hate
I measured them to a factory lexus 255/40 potenza re050 and its like 6-7mm smaller so if i was to buy X-brand 245/40, it would probably end up being smaller......

Thanks for the input man! That is definitely a valid concern... I expect that when going this wide/high offset the right camber specs will be crucial to minimizing or eliminating any inner rubbing.

I know the "big" CCW setup is a 18x10 +51 front with a 245/35/18, which is designed for stock fends with a roll and apparently maintains the full range of steering. Those guys go a lot lower then I plan on going, so I am hoping to pull off a non stagger with a 255/35/18.

would ap2v1 rears all around work well for a non staggered setup?

Yes it would work, but requires modification to the wheels. The S2000 front hub is bigger than the rear. So you will not be able to put the rear wheels on the front UNLESS you bore out the center of your OEM rear wheels.

They do this so you don't swap the rims and tires when putting it on.

another option would be to run a spacer in the front so you don't have to bore the centers out of all 4 wheels if you want to rotate them - another benefit of the non-staggered setup.

if it was me i would just run 5mm spacer all around! u can use them with oem wheels studs, and they clear the centering hub perfect!

Is that true? The different hub bore's are to prevent idiots from putting the rear wheels up front?! Lol
