I just got details of the ROH Adrenalin wheels

17x7 47p (front) 10.5 kg in weight
17x8 52p (rear) 11.0 kg in weight

Both have been tested to 640kg (AS1638)

Are these offsets good?

Those offsets are very good!!!!!!!!!

Frts will be out about 1/2" from stock position
Rears will be out about 3/4" from stock. (well under fenders)

Clearance will not be a problem.
225/45-17 frt
245/40-17 rears

Too bad rears aren't 8.5" w/ a +58 offset so you could run 255/40-17's

The offsets are ok, but they are heavy and narrow.

Fito, are those custom LM's? I thought BBS had them listed as +50 front and rear.

So are your wheels 7.5" frt and 8.5" rear?

What size tires give this glove-like fit?

Pictures pictures we want pictures!

I saw Fito's car over the weekend and let me tell you that those wheels look awesome on the S2K. Don't know the offsets but they sure look Ok and don't stick out.

Only problem is that Fito has now a serious wheel cleaning job compared to the stock one

Very, Very funny Pepe, since your not the one that is going to spend half day cleaning wheels now. RT, I called BBS and they gave me these numbers, 7.5 inches on the front with 48 offset and the rears are 8.5 and 55 offset. I have SO2 PP's from tire rack. The tires are 215/45 (front) and 245/40 (rear) Also numbers given by BBS directly. Stay tunes, in a few minutes I'll go to my parking and get at least one or two pictures for you guys.

Jose, I'm glad to see BBS pulled their heads out, early last year they had something total incorrect listed as the application for the S2000 (maybe they still do for the 18").

With those widths you could run 225/45-17's frt and 255/40-17 rear if you wanted. Or 215 frt 255 rears for more push.
Nice to have the option!!!

Can't wait to see the pics.
