I really like these wheels, however, I am unsure on the size.

http://www.whalentire.com/wheeldetai...8066HS&size=18

I went to whalentire, because I am on a very low budget and noticed that they have 18X7.5, and 18X8. My quesiton is, should I go with 18X7.5 front, and 18X8 rear, or just 18X8 all around? Also, is a 45mm offset goin to fit the way it should on an S? Thanks alot.

I noticed... They are the Enkei RPM2 Bortex. They are available in 18X7.5 with 42mm offset, and 18X8 with 45mm offset. Should I go 7.5 in front, and 8 in rear, or 8 all the way around? Also, will those offsets be a good fit?

Dude you need atleast 48 offset in the front and 50 or more offset in the rear depending on the width of the rim.

I dont know much about offsets and the S2000, but their 18X7.5 is a 42mm offset, and their 18X8 is a 45mm offset. Wont these offsets cause the wheel to not be in the fenderwell, rather, be just flush with it? Also, why exactly would you prefer to run 18X7.5 in the front, rather then 18X8 all around?

Dude you need to try and keep the same setup as the s2k. The stock wheels have a staggered setup. Fronts are smaller width then the rears. You change the handling if you don't keep the same setup. You won't feel as planted.
