Ok. wrong description. "tech" from discountiredirect.com is telling me that staggered wheels are always better for the s2000. but the wheels im looking for, Enkei J10's, dont come staggered. he says that the unstaggered 17's will fit but maybe i should run a staggered tire setup. Should I do this?the wheels are awesome, but will it effect performance negatively?

 

Yes performance will be changed, most likely negatively, if you run a non staggered set up. Just get a set of rims that fit the S nicely.

 

Did you think the car was designed with a staggered setup just for grins?

What you get with a non-staggered setup is (WAY) more front grip bias...making it dangerously easy to break the rear end loose. You should really stay with the staggered setup unless you really understand what you're getting into and are willing to do the necessary supporting suspension changes.

FYI...I run a non-staggered setup and am a HUGE advocate for track purposes. I have also performed said suspension changes, however, to take advantage of the much larger front contact patch.

 

Depending on the width of the wheel you can run the tires staggered and at least get a little wider on the rear.
