Default Volks 17x9 and wilwood!

I finally got around to installing the suspension, bbk and the wheels.

The offset of the wheel is +63 which is a Autox (Gymcanna) setup in Japan. The autox rules in Japan does not allow cutting or rolling of the fender so these wheels are made especially for the S2000 to clear both the fender and big brake kits. 245/40/17 is the widest tires you can run with this setup w/o rubbing the fenders. I am running 235/45/17 and 255/40/17 PZero Corsa R tires.

I belive these wheels will also clear Spoon and Endless calipers.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if these wheels would have cleared spoon or endless. They cleared my 13" wilwood w/o any problems.

Did you guys try fitting the spoon calipers with this offset? I got this info from a Japanse S2000 magazine. I personally haven't tried fitting the spoon with this wheel.



The spoon is prob. 10mm wider then the wilwoods. Looks like it may clear as the rotor diameter is the same as stock for the spoon. (I think.. not 100% sure)
