jimrankin Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Got set with my street and limited track use wheels and tires late last spring but now I'm looking more towards track only wheels for slicks. S2K with 12" 4-piston Wilwoods front and rear so looks like 14" or 15" (?) minimum wheel size. Any comments about what has fit on an S2K and also what widths of tire and slick gets to be "too wide" to be a gain on an added weight to added traction ratio? Examples from other "7" marks will probably be helpful. Thanks, Jim R.
WestTexasS2K Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 15x10 wheels will fit all around I think it is a 5.5 backspacing. You will have to modify the front fender brackets. Diamond racing wheels makes a good realitively light steel wheel that works great and is reasonable price.

jimrankin Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 I still have a set of your slicks and wheels for the Elise held hostage in my trailer so 'let's make a deal". LOL. Aren't you going to need those to keep your new smokin' hot S2K motor stuck to the track?
rnr Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Aren't you going to need those to keep your new smokin' hot S2K motor stuck to the track? I've gone to a different bolt pattern on the front so they will no longer fit. I have tried them on the car before I switched and fit fine (5 mm spacer needed). I will do slicks at some point in the future but will go for something narrower since I'd like to still be able to kick the rear out under power.
