I read this a couple times actually, im so clueless when it comes to offset its not funny! Plus im new to the RWD...Im coming from FWD. Sorry if I caused a headache.

 

well those are all the basic set-ups people run unless you wnat an 8" rear wheel. I have them listed from the least aggresive to the most aggresive. I wrote it out as simple as possible though. The S2000 has really HIGH offsets in general compared to most other RWD imports (i.e. 350x, 240sx, Supra) so you have to be careful when looking at wheels. For jsut about all RPF1 wheels et-ups on the S2k you will need to roll the rear and dial in some neg camber to get them to clear without rubbing if you're lowered. I advice you to stay away from the really low offset wheels that I posted since you're a NOOB to wheel fitment on the S2k.

You saw pics of my car, did you like how they fit??? If so then get those sizes. If you want less worries about rubbing then run a 245/40/17 rear tire instead of a 255/40/17. I really dont know what else to tell you though, just ask me a ??? if you're still confused.

BTW you should read up on offsets in general so you have a better understanding of the a +45 or +38 really is

 

I was running a 255 on my 18's and they rubbed crazy! Yea I like ur setup alot, I def want the concave look

 

yeah but you cant compare your wheels to these for several reasons. Once you go to 18s fitment is dif then 17s, same goes for 16s. If you want these wheels with a 255 rear (like mine) you will need to roll the rear inner fender lip and cut out the bumper tab and relocate. Honestly if you were local I could do it for you.

I have a quick question for everyone, will a 17x9.5" wheel with +38 offset "stick out" exactly the same as a 17x9" wheel with +38 offset?

Thanks in advance.

 

NO, if both have a +38 and one is .5" wider then the 9.5" one will stick out 1/4" more then the 9" one. To fit the 17x9.5+38 you will need to dial in LOTS of neg camber and roll the fenders and you might even have to stretch a 245/40/17 on there to get the extra clearance. If I were to have that set-up I would run a set of ASM over fenders and cut out my quarter so I could run a 265 or 275 rear tire

 

So you have the same offset in front and rear just a inch wider in the rear correct? Thanks again for the help bro

 

yes exactly right

My front wheel is a 17" wheel that is 8" wide with a +45mm offset.

My rear wheel is a 17" wheel that is 9" wide with a +45mm offset

 

looks like im set on this size, just gotta find them in stock!

 

^good luck, I bought mine from Gruppe-S, they were the only ones that had the gold wheels in stock. Tey had very fast shipping and awesome customer service pls I got a cool hat and shirt for free
