Looking at buying a set of 18" wheels for my S2000, what is the optimum wheel offset and tyre size that best suit the S for this size of wheel.

Also what offset can I get away with without upsetting the handling too much!!

 

Offsets I havent a clue, front tyres I use good year gsd3 (i think) 225,18,40, rears are 255,18,35 .

time for a pic

 

Putting my 16's back on Sunday, my tyres have worn out on the back of my 18's so will use my new tyres on my 16's for a while until i get some cash together to get some new rubber .

 

Jamie is an EVO5 His are the same as mine;

Front 8x18 with 45mm offset
Rear 9x18 with 55mm offset

I have Yokohama AVS sports rather than the Goodyears!

Would have gone for OZ leggies but could not find a set in the right offset and apparently OZ are not making them in the S offset anymore so if U bust one you are screwed!

I think U saw them at the last Manchester meet!? Anyway pics in my gallery and more info in sig

 

Hey I see you use Meguirs NXT Tech Wax, is this good and what do you use to make the car shiny (ps21? )?

cheers


Sorry back to wheels now. There are a few of us with evo's now, I know some people moan they are heavy but they need to be to put up with our dodgy english roads !!!

 

I've got a set of 18's for sale if yah fancy them?

NXT is great! wipe on a thin coat all over car after a wash (or any other prep like claybar, scratch cover!?) Leave 15 mins buff off with microfiber! I considered adding PS21 after but cannot be ar$ed with a load more time and it looks fantastics anyway.

Thought U sold these puppies?

 

That'll be the diamondbrite and all that Zainoing I did to it for you

 

might be true if I hadn't used the fairy liquid and claybar on it! Off to give it another coat now!

the heavens have opened - game over!

 

Not yet. There have been offers made, but nothing definite yet.
