I just want to know 17x7JJ, 5x114.3 PCD and possibly a +42 offset from m35 rim and tyres are 215/55/17 will fit in my S2 or not.

Thank you

I think they'll end up too far inside your guards with that offset, won't look very nice, I'd look for something with an offset of at least +30 and around 8" wide.

they will fit but wont look too good. my car came over from japan with 17 x 7" rim and around a +45 offset. tire was a 225 50 R17 and i had no trouble with the tire hitting the strut so a 215 will be fine. the fronts sat in the front guard by a mile lol. the rears where better but still sat in a little.

so to answer your question, yes it will fit. but if you have a choice hold off for a rim with a better offset. i'm now running a +30 offset rim and they sit in the front guards ok, rears sit perfect once lowered. car is a auto S2.

Just yesterday I fit 19x8s on the front wearing 235/35 with no dramas at all

19x9.5s fleshed the back sporting 245x35s.

Wouldnt fit with standard springs but the coilovers allowed for them (just, I put on an 8mm spacer to stop the rubber skimming the strut on corners, and only because I couldnt source a 5mm spacer)

Steam rollin!

With a lip roll on the back there will allow enough clearance to slam it down another 20mm (stock ride height atm)

You might have problem with different rolling diameters front to rear. . . .

rolling diameter should be the same?

Just widths are different... proving a smooth ride so far..

sorry mate but the rolling diameter will be different. having a 35 profile tyre means that the side wall is 35% of the width, therefore if you have a wider tyre, the sidewall height increases in proportion with the width increase. 235/35 = 82.25mm sidewall. 245/35 = 85.72mm sidewall. which means you have a 7mm difference in tyre height. this may be enough to cause trouble.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
