This is not a good size for the S2000 but you can make them "fit". It won't be a good look though with that narrow wheel on the rear, limits you to a 225/40 tire.

You have more then pulled fenders OP, they are custom "molded in" over fenders front and rear by the looks of it. You look to have at least 25mm to play with over stock outer clearance. Personally I wouldn't run these wheels, they are way too narrow to look and perform properly on your car esp with your modded fenders. Get something much wider and sell these.

You don't have to do anything, but if I had your car with those fenders, id want to fill them up. Id be looking at 18" wheels so I could run at least a 285-295 width in the rear and 255 up front. Minimum rim width for those width tires would be a 9" F 10.5"R and Id prefer to add another 1/2" to that to better optimize performance. Offset based on what I can see from your fenders should be in the +45-+55 range for my stated widths. But without seeing in more detail your car, I hesitate to advise you on an exact offset fitment, but wanted to get you to a ballpark starting point here.

Hard to tell from the pic, but the odds are that is a stock body. If not, looks like a very nice job with the molding. Stock wheels that are cambered in on a slammed car really exaggerate the conservative stock fitment. I ran 20mm spacers on stock wheels and it still wasn't flush.

I'd look for at LEAST a 8" front, 9" rear wheel with 225 front and 255 rear tires.

Look at forge star wheels. You can order them in custom sizes and they are reasonable. Word of warning about going with wide 18's is tires can often cost a lot of money. You definitely have over fenders that are molded on in the rear. So there is likely 25mm of extra space. So you can fit wider wheels with lower offsets than a stock s2000. I have 17x10 +35 with a 255 in the rear with my asm fenders and it fits great.

Front fenders are oem but have quite a pull on them. Also buy some oem headlights. The ones on there are the "I got in a wreck and oem lights are expensive" special.
