What size tires are on a S2000 16?

On a Honda S2000 with 16-inch wheels, the stock front tire is 205/50R16 and the stock rear tire is 225/50R16.


The question centers on the tire sizes used by S2000 models that came with 16-inch wheels. The S2000 lineup evolved from the original AP1 generation, which used 16-inch rims, to the AP2 generation that moved to 17-inch wheels. Tire sizes can vary by year and market, so it’s best to confirm with the door placard or owner's manual for your specific car.


Stock 16-inch tire sizes


Here are the factory tire sizes for S2000s equipped with 16-inch wheels. This reflects the AP1 configuration.



  • AP1 (1999–2003): Front 205/50R16, Rear 225/50R16


These are the widely cited factory numbers for 16-inch wheels on the S2000. If you are restoring or replacing tires, use these measurements as the baseline and verify against your vehicle’s placard or manual.


AP2 generation and 17-inch wheels


Starting with the 2004 refresh (the AP2 generation), Honda shifted to 17-inch wheels as standard, with typical tire sizes of 215/45R17 at the front and 245/40R17 at the rear. If your car has 16-inch wheels, it is most likely an AP1 model, or it may have aftermarket wheels installed.


Regardless of generation, always verify tire sizes on the car itself and in the owner’s documentation before purchasing to ensure proper fitment and performance.


Summary


For a 16-inch S2000, the standard factory setup is 205/50R16 front and 225/50R16 rear (AP1). The AP2 generation adopted 17-inch wheels with 215/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear. Always check the vehicle’s placard or manual for the exact specification of your car.
