Here is a list of current parts that I have bought and will be installing over the winter. I tried to read as much as possible over the last 6 months on my deployment. I managed to find a deal on some Toyo R888's. They are 235/40/17's. I looked on Toyo's website and they offer 255/40/17 or 275/40/17.

-SOS supercharged and will be tuned to be putting down 330-360 HP
-Eibach front sway bar
-AP2 Rear sway bar
-KSport coilovers (will be selling these and upgrading, as of right now there nice and stiff)
-Innovative engine/transmission mounts 75A
-differential collars
-fenders are rolled
-Volk TE37's in S2K safe offset

I am wondering if it is possible to go too wide? I don't know if it will disrupt the handling? I bought the AP2 sway bar to make it softer in the rear to help take away the snap over steer. The Eibach sway bar has two settings of stiffness. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

If this is your first event.....best thing you can do is run 100% stock. The only thing I would do is get some brakes for the track that can handle the heat and some good STREET tires. Anyone can buy good times with r-comps. If you start off with good street tires, you can get a good feel for the car and slowly start upgrading with what YOU feel you need first. Everyone is different.

I am already supercharged, so that is out of the question. I was wondering about the set up if 275's would be too much.

I'd skip the Toyo R888s.

275s would be fine if you can fit them on your wheels.

you can fix snap oversteer with toe in

or run no rear bar
and stiff rear springs

back to my original question of 275's possibly being too wide?

dan_uk

you can also fix snap oversteer by loosing off the throttle cable!

Considering that B Stock S2000s are running 275 A6s despite making less than two thirds the power you do -- I'd recommend running 275 or wider, not narrower.

I'm also inclined to go in a different direction with setup advice. The S2000 isn't especially prone to steady-state or power oversteer -- it's best known for lift-throttle oversteer, presumably because of bump steer in the rear suspension. That's best addressed by a bump steer kit, stiffer *front* springs, or stiffening rear rebound damping.

Having said that, it sounds like you've already bought a ton of parts, which are going to confuse the hell out of your attempts to set up the car. The last thing you should be doing now, in my opinion, is buying more parts -- I'd figure out what you've got first.

I think he is going thru what is called beginner's anxiety. This normaly happens to a hyper active and/or competetive individuals. Usually they become a very good competitor unless they are not as good as they think they are supposed to be, then they just quit.

BTW, this is just my opinion.

Good luck to OP and have fun out there.
