Default Sorry to ask again...

Ok I have researched a fair bit before asking this but I am used to 4 stud Hondas which don't need different width wheels.

I have found a set of 17's I am interested in for my 05 S2000, they already have tyres fitted....

Front : 17x7 17/45/215 +45

Rear : 17x8 17/45/235 +45

Is that an acceptable size for using on my car, I know that S2000's are sensitive little cars and dont like to be mucked around with from the factory setup but they are gorgeous wheels and I want them!

If you try a search you'll find the accumulated knowledge of wheels, sizes and offsets...

I think the answer is that those offsets will not be recommended as they will not maintain the stagger that the S2000 came with...

but there are others on here with far more knowledge that I who will no doubt offer a more complete opinion...

Close to +55 and +65 as possible.

Critically, how much do they weigh? Unsprung mass is important too!

All in good time.

...looks like more reading is needed.

Is anyone actually using said offsets and wheel sizes?

What about them? You probably looked at the URL for the picture I posted...

I can assure you these are 100% in the UK, whether they'll fit is another matter!
