No. Those would not fit right. That offset is way too low... especially if you don't want to do fender work...

You'd be better off shopping in the classified section here since the S2000 requires higher offsets than most other cars.

48 offset is probably the lowest you can go without fender work. i have 45 on the rear of mine and had to roll the rears and do a tab relocate. fronts i have 48 offset with no rub or roll done. and their 17s. if you need fender work tho, i do that.if you lower it, you'll have to do fender work.i'm lowered 1 to 1.5.

Offsets in the high 50's and 60's with wheel widths from 7"-9" will most likely require zero fender rolling. Anything lower in offset or higher in wheel width you will have to start looking into fender work. The wheel selection in that range is limited, but there are still some great looking ones out there that will work perfectly on the S with no modifications.

I have some OZ Alleggeritas, 17x8.5 +58 for sale. Wheels are 15.2 pounds each - you wont find lighter. I bought them in blue, didn't like the shade, and repainted them. Easy to re-spray any color you want for 18$ in about 1-2 days. They have Star specs with just over 50% life on them in 245/40 17. Total cost was 350x4 for the wheels, starting asking 1200 OBO including the tires, which were 175x4 plus mounting and balancing (say 350 value with half tread left).

They fit on the car even when lowered 1.5 inch with a little bit of camber. No fender rolling. I wanted the max i could fit without having to.

Let me know if interested. (the wheels in signature pic below)

I've got a set of 17" Volk TE37 Time Attacks for sale if you're interested. 63 offset rear 54 offset front (i think). Drop me a PM. They fit with zero modifications.

Here's a video of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilsmHevLplw

I was looking at a couple of sets of 17's myself but guess I'll just find something with a high offset. I surely don't want to do any fender rolling or pulling on mine.
