First off what discount tire did you go to.

i worked there for 4 yrs and no one would even mount that set up due to the tire and wheels sizes.

you need some more tire on those wheels. at least 225's up front and 245's on the back... at least. with 9" wide wheels, i'd run 245's all around. probably 255's.
you'll be able to lower it with no problem.

and why would you ask advice from someone who works at discount tire?

why would you ask for advice??? they prolbey said that due to tire ware. Or the fact that he will rip off his fenders because they are not rolled.

Discount tire is prolbey the best tire shop in the country. Not some shitty hole in the wall place.

if what Rooster is saying is true he himself doesnt know anything about wheels or tires yet i highly doubt that discount mounted that tire set up. Period.

Geeze, that's a little harsh.

They did set it up, why would I make something like that up??...
The wheel itself is coming out of the tire in the front.

Discount Tire mounted these, not me.

RoosterS2k,

Here a good primer on wheel and tire fitment on the S2000. Read through this and it will answer most, if not all, of your questions.

New tires? Heck no, I don't have money like that, I have BF Goodrich on right now, expensive as anything and I just put them on like a month and a half ago.

I went to 8080 Phillips Hwy Bld 300, Jacksonville, FL‎ - (904) 636-7576

You have the complete wrong sizes though but if you want to stick with them go for it.
Car can not handle nice with those!

It still handles amazing.

Discount tire told me that's the only way the wheels would fit on my car?
What, did I get ripped off?
