Good time to do an OCC since your IM is off.
i have the SM OCC on order..
with blue hoses.Washed it, and installed my Yakima roof rack. Currently just the Q-towers, bars and one Steelhead, but I'll be adding an Anklebiter (crankarm-holding upright mount) for the kid's bike and possibly the tandem carrier later.

215/45 is a bit of an odd size. I'd go either 225/40 or 225/45 on a stock setup. 225/40 will be a bit shorter sidewall, 225/45 will be a tad taller (I think 7mm shorter for the 40 and 4mm taller for the 45).
If you're looking for performance(summer) tires, take a look at the Star Specs. They seem to be a good, reasonably priced sticky tire.

No, it's the same as any other 215/45/18. Those are industry standards.

Black would have a nice look to it and wouldn't be overly flashy. It would definitely clean up the engine bay quite a bit!

just in case your local powdercoater doesnt have the color you can call and ask them for it.. there really nice people. and do awesome work!!.
Thanks for the tire help steve.
OJ: The s2000 is 2850 lbs. Its really not that light at all. An evo 8 is 3100lbs. After some research while sitting in class today it appears that its not as easy as I predicted to mod the s2k. 300whp is easy with a 4 grand turbo kit. If you want more you need a 6 grand turbo kit, upgraded clutch, and possibly lower the compression to 9:1. So all said and done it will probably be about a 10 grand investment. Would seem to be easier / safer / and maybe cheaper to buy or mod a used evo. Im trying to avoid the WRX because that is like ours in regards to power. Easy to get about 300whp but anything more you start playing with fire.

yes they are. will be picking up my dnp mani today and dropping off my VC to get powdercoated white.
These are the tires I will probably end up with. Price is awesome and seem like a good buy. What do you guys think?
