Marc those are 18" TE37 (I think) what sort of width and offsets?
Part # VR LE37T 18 S2K
This includes the 18x7.5" for the front (+48 offset) & 18x8.5" for the rear (+50 offset) in S2000 fitment. These wheels are available only in GunMetal with a Polished Lip.
They are the same as TE37's apart from colour. Offset has already seemed fine, no rubbing.

i want slipstreams
17x7.5 or 17x8 or 17x8.5
17x7.5 or 17x8 or 17x8.5
I'm not even sure you can get the 8.5 wide, but even if you could, I reckon you'd be on for rubbing issues.

7 & 8.5
Mine are 7.5 & 8.5
17x7.5, +52, 5x114.3, 15.8 lbs each
S2000 (2000-2003) Front Wheel
S2000 (2004-2006) Front Wheel
17x8.5, +59, 5x114.3, 16.5 lbs each
S2000 (2000-2003) Rear Wheel
S2000 (2004-2006) Rear Wheel
The S2000 hasn't got shitty mcP struts, so the offset should remain factory, or close to factory.
What confuses the issue is the Backset of the spokes clearing the brake caliprs, NOT the offset, which should be kept as close to factory as possible, in order to prevent steering kickback & tramlining.
The reason people reduce the offset when upgrading is usually because they are big tarts and want the wheels to stick out because they believe it looks good.
