Default 17x9 22offset modifications?

I'll be picking up an S2000 next week after shopping for over a 3 months. Been trying to research on how to fit 17x9 and 22 offset wheels in the rear, and from what I've been reading, roll, pull, relocate rear bumper tab and lots of camber should do the trick with 245's. My question is how much camber are you guys running and how much am i'm looking to pull? Judging by pics from bserious, and silentdancer, it looks like major camber, but the pull looks to be pretty serious. On a pic i remember seeing bserious to have pulled to the point where the 1/4 has started to crease. Maybe you guys can help me out if you see this post. Thanks in advance..

Your best bet would be to get overfenders and cut your rear quarter panel. But once you've cut it, there's no going back to stock unless you buy a new piece to weld on.

Why 17x9 +22? you can go with a wider wheel if the offset is right.

sorry, forgot to mention on a stock body..

As for why the size.. well it's either going to be 9 and 22 or 9.5 and 28. I want the concave, and as for the 2 sizes, they are the same distance from the outside of hte wheel. Only difference is the inner side will have less clearance towards the strut. They will be CE's or RE's that's why I don't have much choice cause that's "entry level" concave.

I would talk to Bserious about is since he's already running that setup, but I doubt he'll chime in on the issue because he doesn't want anybody copying him. I think he was running somewhere close to -4deg camber in the rear. You might be able to get away with -3deg camber and 225/45/17 in the back since he's on 255/40/17. But you will have to considerably roll/pull your rear quarter panel, cut the bumper tab, relocate the screw etc etc.

I don't think they would work on the stock body either. Cutting the fenders and making room with a wide body would be the only way.

Looks like your going widebody danio

I wouldn't even try to fit it though. Why would you go through all that trouble to run a 245 on a 9" rear tire?
