Default 17x9 all around +30 wheels

i bought these rays wheels from this guy on craigslist.
picked up 2 cause that's all my s2000 fit. guy told me it'd not look funny
if i had 17x9s all around. Called tire rack they said that might be too aggressive a set up.
any opinions? quite lost here. thanks for any input.

Um, that offset ain't gonna work...

Do your homework first, *then* buy!

Check the first post in the "Wheel Fitment Guide" stickie.

IMO, no.

It is conceivable that with the fender lip rolled and bumper tab moved, max negative camber, and with 245's, you might be able to work it. Personally, I would try to return the wheels. But then I can't stand the stretched-tire/pokey-outie rim look that some seem to love so much...

oh ok. thanks Dan. I don't think returning will be an option. I guess it'd be a lesson for me to learn not to buy rims without the offset research.

you can make it fit, but it will depend on what your goal for the wheel setup is, function or form.

Never know til you ask! If you only bought two of them, the guy might not mind having them back so that he could sell a set of four.
