Ahh not too bad then. Glad you're getting it fixed and it hasn't turned you off the car!

Haha yeah those specs are too aggressive for s2k.
I'm running 17x9 +40 all round and on those I've pumped the front guards 15mm and pulled the rears.
Aim for something +45 and higher if you don't want to do too much guard work

Nice looks good. would have kept the wheels and made it fit.

If u want wheels wothout guardwork. Just stick to ap2 wheels!!!

nice you bought richards wheels
be able to run 255 tyres easily on stock guards with a light roll.

Didnt Richard say 255/40 with zero guardwork?

They look good on Monte Carlo! Nice contrast

As for alignment. If it's just a street car just go with stock settings. All I run normally is -2.4 camber and that's to fit my wheels.
When I have track days is when I adjust castor and toe etc.
Reduces unnecessary wear that way

Looks good. how come u didnt go 255/40/17 all around?

I've driven a friends s2000 with 255/40 all around and I didn't like it, front end didn't feel as responsive and the car didn't feel as well balanced. So I decided to stick with the staggered set up to try and retain the original handling characteristics of the car.

When/If this car becomes a track/weekend car, I will roll and flare my guards and start considering wider tyres for the front and rear. The only problem is finding 265+ section tyres in 17 inch sizes in Australia.

Goes to show everyone's driving preference is different. Personally I've found that the 245/40 square set up on my car is extremely balanced and the front turn in has increased 10 fold!
225/225 staggered is also a common set up and works extremely well.

Also 265/35r18 will fix that 17 inch problem
