then 225's on the same size on the front and they fit well too. Tyre wall right on the edge of the arch, MOT pass
If you ever see the FTO club anywhere, you'll see half of them have 17x8 wheels with 215 wide tyres which don't fit even slightly. There's zero rim protection and the tyre "wall" is nearly at 45 degrees.

the 245's are almost square on the rim, the 225's point in, but Toyo T1R's have chunky rim protector lip.

I have ETA45 on the rear with 245s without a problem. But my rims are slightly narrower.

Linky no-worky, but I found it anyway...

D2 Adjustable Coilovers to suit Honda S2000

16 Kg/mm Springs Front
9 Kg/mm Springs rear
Craig will have something to say about that.

Quite a few FTO owners went for D2s (mainly because they were cheap and a nice colour ), but I think they were all positive about them.

I know the K sports are also adjustable camber, not sure if D2 are.
I think you're thinking of adjustable top mounts on cars with McPhearson struts. That doesn't apply to us.

On stag weekend so will keep brief- search for my first suspension thread-those spring rates are far, far too high.
