Default Help me with my wheels sizes please !!!!!

Would 18x7.5 offset 48 all around work on the S2000 ? probably mount 225/40/18 front and 245/35/18 in rear. Would these wheels fit, help me please, i've been looking for wheels forever, but i have a budget. thanks

Did you post in the tire section? Jim or Alex from TireRack can help you for sure.

you are pretty much guaranteed to rub in the front (especially if you lower)

I you are going 245/35/18 in rear...I would go 215/40/18 in front. Just to keep the rear and front diameters the same.

225/40/18 has a bigger overal diameter than 245/35/18...and your car will look like a hyena.

Just a warning though....18 x 7.5 with 245/35/18 is going to make the rear treadwith of the car look really skinny; bowlegged.

I think the fitment would be very close. WIth the 245/35R18 you also need at least an 18X8 wheel to fit correctly. I suppose you could do a 225/40R18 rear and a 215/40R18 front. It is not a good option but for those wheels I think it is the best.

Not to hijack the thread

But Jim, I'm lowered approx 1.4" and I'm planning to purchase the Prodrives off a member with 225 f and 255 r's. Do you think I'm going to rub?

Thanks!!!!
Ben
