Hello,

I have a 2001 S. I recently installed 17inch wheels with the stock suspension. The passenger side front wheel has a bigger gap than the the drivers side. Anyone know why? Is it possible for the shop to have damaged a suspension component when they installed them and did an alignment?

Tire sizes-205/45/17 in front, and 245/40/17 in the rear.

Thanks!!

was your car parked on an even surface?

Yea I feel like an idiot, I parked it at work, measured it...uneven. So I parked it across the work lot measured it, still uneven.. Turns out both spots I parked were uneven.

No need for flaming I already know.

Plus I would say the front tires you are using a shorter than stock by 3/4" and it is not a good set up. You really need either a 205/50R17 or 215/45R17.

I called your office for advice but you were out of town. O well they are on and the car handles much much better, the tires may be 3/4 smaller than stock but the wheels are 1 inch bigger.

i have researched for weeks and found that its normal for s2000 to have uneven fender gap. so dont worry

You wheels are the same size as the AP2 stock (and Jim knows this). Jim's comment holds true, "You really need either a 205/50R17 or 215/45R17".

How about a sticky for MY04+ tire sizes

The S2000 also has a "ride height" adjustment for small adjustments if needed. I assume it is possible to corner weight one without getting coilovers. Gonna find out next week as I am going to the scales.
