Not sure as i was already rolled when i slapped them on. But by looking at it yes i believe they would rub.
Im sure you can get away with no roll with enough camber and smaller tire.

Yes not a fan of them but i guess its better than rusted hubs being seen.

I painted my hubs. That doesn't look too bad though.

The front hubs aren't BAD looking without caps. They are almost the same color as the wheels! The rears look awful though with the enormous axel nut sticking out.

Honestly I just can't do it. I rather see rust than those center caps.

Has ANYONE able to use any other center caps?

The OEM Honda S2000 caps are SO close to fitting in the front, but they don't. It may not be too difficult to retrofit them. The thing is, with how the OEM Weds caps fit into the wheels (from the inside) there's no "clip" for standard centercaps to latch on to. One would almost have to adhered the cap to the wheel itself, which I doubt people want to do. :/

In re: SA70, I don't think they fit. Every website Ive seen specifically states that the SA70 caps do NOT fit the TC105 wheel. Sucks.

Bummer ^, do TC105N rims use some sort of different/special locking mechanism unlike other rims? For example work wheels, OZs, etc?

Im not sure. I just know our caps (for the TC105) screw in from the back. They don't "clip in" like the majority of other caps. This makes it difficult to find another cap that will easily retrofit into these wheels. The bonus is, there's basically a 0.00% chance of the caps ever falling out while driving/racing.

Hey i love your setup so much and I am definitely gonna clone it on my S. Except I saw another S running 17x8 +32 and 17x9 +35 and imo they look just like your setup. Someone help me clarify so I can get these wheels already!! Whats the major differences! like fitment and fender work wise. As well as performance? Not looking to track but would definitely need to fit spirited driving!

Sorry real noob at learning wheel setups.

heres the S2K running +32 and +35
