That’s ridiculously stretched, your going to find it hard to get any tire shop to mount those. I'd strongly recommend against that extreme. And +12 offset wont fit anyway. I don’t care how much stretching and camber you run along with hacking up your fenders. +35 is about as extreme as you can get and still drive your car. This is still going to require you to make fender modifications. But +12/+15 would be a joke.

Yep just like this guy made it "work" http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/15/v...y-off-camber/3
... and he's actually driving it, though he's going slow enough he should have his hazards on. You get the point. I try not to offer poor recommendations or advice anything related to the S2000, extreme wheel and tire fitment on this car is something I know a bit about. I have arguably the widest rim and rubber on the rear of a stock bodied S in the entire club, unless someone else has copied exactly what I have done. But if you just want a car you can drive the sidewalls off of from photo shoot to shoot, then do your thing, its your territory. I prefer to drive and look at performance cars myself.

life isnt a track. thats all im saying. tracking is expensive. and if i was to track i get a second set of lighter rims and meaty tires. i totally understand where your coming from. but im not trying to go any faster then 70mphs on the freeway or inside roads. but i am trying to break necks when im driving and parking my car..
