For your S2000, changing from your selected 225/50R16 tyre on 16-inch wheels to 225/45R17 on 17-inch wheels gives a circumference increase of 0.46%. Nominal tyre width stays the same at 225 mm. With 225/45R17, indicated speeds of 30 and 60 mph correspond to approximately 30.1 and 60.3 mph respectively, assuming the speedometer was accurate with your selected original size.
If you want to increase wheel size further on your S2000, another option to compare is 245/35R18 on 18-inch rims, up from your selected 16-inch rims. Circumference decreases by 0.43%, while nominal tyre width increases by 20 mm, from 225 to 245 mm. With 245/35R18, indicated speeds of 30 and 60 mph correspond to approximately 29.9 and 59.7 mph respectively, assuming the speedometer was accurate with your selected original size.
For a larger-wheel look, 245/30R19 brings your S2000 to 19-inch rims. Measured against your selected 225/50R16, this alternative has a circumference decrease of 0.29%; its nominal tyre width increases by 20 mm, from 225 to 245 mm. With 245/30R19, indicated speeds of 30 and 60 mph correspond to approximately 29.9 and 59.8 mph respectively, assuming the speedometer was accurate with your selected original size.
Choosing a wheel size increase for your Honda S2000
Standard and original equipment sizes
Check the standard or original equipment tyre and wheel sizes approved for your exact engine and trim. A size recorded against this model may belong to another version. A genuine manufacturer wheel option still needs to match your vehicle; these calculated alternatives are close size matches, not confirmation of manufacturer approval.
Speedometer variation and effective gearing
Keeping circumference close to your original tyre limits changes to speedometer and distance readings and effective gearing. A larger circumference makes gearing taller and increases road speed at the same wheel speed; a smaller circumference makes gearing shorter. The gearbox ratios themselves do not change. The estimates above assume the speedometer was accurate with your selected original tyre; existing speedometer error and actual rolling circumference can change the result. The ±3% filter is this converter’s comparison threshold, not a manufacturer approval or a guarantee of fitment.
More wheel, less sidewall
A larger wheel paired with a lower-profile tyre can give your S2000 a sleeker, sportier appearance while keeping overall diameter close to the original. A shorter sidewall can also mean a firmer ride and less cushioning over potholes.
Tyre width, offset and full-lock clearance
Keep width increases modest and check clearance around the suspension and inner wheel arches at full steering lock and through suspension travel. Tyre width, wheel width and offset all affect whether a wheel fits without rubbing. Nominal tyre width is the section width, not the measured tread width. Choose a compatible wheel and offset for a spacer-free fit; spacers are not an automatic remedy for fouling. Confirm brake clearance, load and speed ratings and the exact vehicle application before fitting.
