Default going to buy some wheels

I'm going to buy new set of wheels (18"), and i know the S2000 rims comes with two different width sizes. Would there be a problem if i would get all the wheels with the same width?

the s2k comes standard with staggared rims... bigger in the rear smaller in the front. You should stay with this type of pattern but you are capable of doing the same size rims. Also when your getting up to that size watch out for your offset... if you decide to lower your car you might have clearance problems and can damage your fenders.... look on the wheels and tires forums... lots of usefull info on there

Yes. You can talk to several of the forum sponsors and see what will fit. It also depends on the offset of the wheel. Example I am running the Volk SF Challenge 18x8.5 +48. The CE28 wheel can be a 18x9 +63.

yeah, you're gonna want the staggered set up. As others have mentioned to ask the wheel and tire forum, i think there's a stickie on wheel sizes.

The S2000 needs the staggered set up for proper handling.

I think 17s are the perfect size for the S2000. Anything larger is bling bling imo.
Ran 16s, 17s and 18s on my S. Definately liked the Volks in 17. Looks, performance, ride, etc.
