I've had them on my car for about two weeks now. No complaints. The S2000 expert at the racing shop that did my alignment commented that they were really nice.

This thread is pointless...... Why waste money on extended studs, & spacers for oem wheels.

Just buy a good set of wheels and make the car look better instead of wasting effort on oem wheels...... It's not a civic or integra people....

ok ok back to topic ^^^^ anybody?
20mm all around had me just about perfectly even with the fenders. However, with Eibach springs, and a UK alignment, the rear was rubbing pretty bad without fender rolling.

And to s2kep3, I own four cars, from Italian to American-so I can surely afford a different set of wheels. With that said, I love the look of my V2s over any aftermarket wheel I have found yet. Spacers allow me larger brakes and the look I want. So why the hate?

LOL your comments really crack me up! I own FOUR sets of wheels for my s2000 alone not to mention at least 2 sets for each of my other 5 cars! I hardly think this is about money dude, wake up and some being so ignorant!

Anyways back on topic, for OEM wheels the best "SAFE" fitment is 15mm spacers all around anything more would require fender modifications. Unless you don't plan on lowering your car, then yes you could get away with 20 or 25mm spacers.

But for most of us who lower our cars, you have to stick with 15mm or less. I just installed 15mm spacers on my front NSX wheels and 5mm spacers on my rear NSX wheels and the fitment is perfect. I will try to take pictures later this week.

yes I am running options selects on the 25mm on the rear and kic's 20mm up front. Honestly I think the Options Selects are nicer.

I sort of cheated.. (:

Had custom rear 1/4's finished, Ap2v1's with 15mm spacer, I will be buying a 20mm spacer, i am running a perfect alignment remember, if I want a large amount of camber I can fit "2 spacers and make these fit, I already have done it, but no need, because I like functional.





More info on the custom 1/4 rear panels please. I think they look so good and blends with the lines of the S perfectly while giving the body a wider look from the back. Very nice, very nice indeed!!!

Also, be aware that the tire affects things as well. My Sumitomo's were 255's and I was running a 20mm spacer. I hardly had to do any bumper trimming.

Then I switched to 255 Yokohama ad07's, a much meatier tire. Then the rubbing started!! I had to trim down my bumper a LOT more.

Just an FYI for you guys. Every setup is different. Some will require more modifications than others.
