Yup sorry Tze, you did post those offsets earlier...
Is it so essential to have the +52 +59 offset? I know it's recommended by Mugen but would marginally different offsets be so terrible? Especially once any aftermarket suspension components are used, in which case the suspension geometry would be altered anyway.

I had ROH Adrenalin 17" on my car for a while. These were designed specifically for the S.
Wheel Specifications
Front 17 inch 7 inch 47mm
Rear 17 inch 8 inch 52mm
Tyre Specifications
215 45 17
245 40 17
Fit was perfect.

I have MF10 on mine.
It rides very much like stock, including noise levels.
Around corners - doesn't seem to want to tail slide as easily as I remembered on the stock sticky tyres.
However that could be due to the new tyres - BS RE711 215/45R17 Front 245/40R17 Rears.

Honda in Japan has a 17" "factory" option for the S2000.
Why doesn't HA give us this option?
This facts brings another point, if most people think the 16" is so perfect then why is there this option in Japan? Bigger tyres must be better and may be the S is not designed purely for 16" ?

I think it's more a concession to marketing than performance considerations. If you've ever been to Japan you'll know that their roads are also nothing like ours. Smooth as billiard tables.
I looked at the part of the website that describes the 17" option and they don't say anything about better performance, just that the offset is correct so it won't be made worse. All the info is about how cool they look.

Thanks! I set it up ages ago and haven't looked in a long time.
You can add the Work VS yourself. The site is an open database. The content is provided by the public.
Prepare a close up of the wheel (like your alias but 200x200) and a picture of the car with the wheels on it (about 200 high but 500 wide). Click 'Add' and fill in the fields.
