That looks like its been painted "Root Beer"

 

that car just took my breath away.

 

Haha, yeah I'm the one that actually posted it earlier too, lol.


I know for a fact that by moving the rear bumper tab and rolling the fenders will yield a 17X9.5 all around +35 up front and +30 out back with maybe -2.5 in the rear if that. I want someone to run that with 235/40/17s all around. I know my 17X9 +18 rega with 215/45s stuck out around 2 inches, but the shock couldn't compress all of the way because of the bumper tab in the back. I think it would have sunken in another .5 to .75 of an inch with that taken care of. I bet someone could pull off some 18X9.5 CR-Kais in +30 out back and 17X9 +22 up front .

I have rolled the fenders on two S2000s and I must say I was really like the fact that the fenders are shaped like that....it makes them MUCH easier to roll then a S14, haha. Fitting a wheel is a whole different story, I don't see how those guys slam the car with stock wheels without moving the bumper tab - so I don't know why they don't get someone to roll the fenders and take that extra step for extreme fitment.

Anyway, thanks for the info. I can see why the idea of running a more aggressive wheel can be daunting to someone with a car that is new and at a higher value then my own. It doesn't help that a large portion of the S2000 community doesn't work on their own cars, lol. Just for clarification on that I was not taking a stab at anyone just making a general observation at the timidness of a large portion of the people who own those cars.

 

Have you ever thought that not everyone wants extreme fitment? I know that might be a new concept for you, but its true.

 

No I know that. I'm just saying I'd like to see more then one or two S2000s out there with extreme fitment. I guess those kind of people just don't buy S2000s?

So I'm not demanding, just requesting that people with unfunctionally slammed S2000s put aggressive wheels on it....otherwise it's like eating a jelly sandwich and saying you have a PBJ, lol.

 

+1. I'm not the biggest fan of hardtops, but I'd rock that over a convertible any day.

ITT: extreme fitment
edit: great S2000 post btw

 

No its not. Its like eating a jelly sandwitch, saying you have a jelly sandwitch, and loving the jelly sandwitch and not wanting a PBJ.

There is nothing wrong with any of the fitment of any of the S2000's posted in this thread other than the one with stock wheels. Just because they're not sticking half an inch outside of the fender with the tire being stretched so the tread is inside of the fender doesnt mean they dont fit properly, and doesnt mean that it doesnt look good.

 

Well it will be no surprise for you to hear me say that I don't like jelly sandwiches, haha .



That S2000 you posted is pretty freaking awesome looking though, we can happily agree on that .

 

As good as that car looks as is, it's not functional.

Infact if he had stretched tires it would be more functional.

 

Yeah I know, no room for suspension travel....too bad pulling the fenders on a S2000 wouldn't do anything because they stupidly put the rear bumper IN the rear quarter panel. Since doing that would allow the car some more travel with those sized tires at that ride height.
