out of curiosity, can you fit larger wheels on then the ones already on it or does it trip any sort of computer on it?

No, you can quite easily put 17" or 18" wheels on, in place of the stock 16" wheels. Just be aware that the S2000 has an unusual offset, which limits the type of wheels you can fit without running into problems.

well i would prob go for 17's maybe 18's pudshing it, i wouldnt go much wider or maybe not at all to what it has on there anyway.. i would try and keep the rolling radius the same or as close as i could, just wondering if the arches could take it.
