Default 17x10 wheels

Hey guys I was wondering who here has ran a 17x10 wheel. what offset did you use and is your car lowered? I am looking into doing a 17x10 +73 offset I just want to make sure the wheel will fit without hitting suspension parts while dropped.
Thanks

I can't say for sure if it would fit but that is a lot of wheel and tire for an S2000. I can't see it improving performance on the car.
I have seen people run 275/40R17 on the car though.

I can confirm that your choice of offsets is excellent. Everything will clear just fine.

Mine are 18" x 10" rear......+76 with a 285/30/18 tire
