Default 18x9.5 +15

Ok so I'm getting wheels and I absolutely horrible with offsets and wheels spacing. I am stock height, the wheels are 18x9.5 +15 will they fit, and could impossibly lower and get a somewhat flush stance? Any pics would be appreciated and sorry for such a general question. Also I don't plan on slamming or running any crazy camber.

those rims would poke so much you need high off sets the stock offsets are for a stock AP1 is +65 if I recall correctly
the higher offset the better if its to high you can always use spacers to get the flushness you want

Those wheels will stick out 3" (75mm) more than OEM rear wheel.
I am running sizes similar to that on my show wheels with 235 tires (semi stretch) with 30mm bolt on flares in the rear and 30mm flared fronts.

If you're thinking of putting 18x9.5 +15 all around look at this thread. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/965...ch-tire-sizes/

Your setup will stick out 7mm more in the back and for the front nearly 20mm more than that guy. Go to the Wheel and Tire section and do some searching. A ton of topics such as this has been asked a lot and generally the OP will get flamed. Our cars were not designed to accept low offsets. In order for that to happen it'll require body work (fender flares, hacking up the rear quarter panels, replacing or purchasing wider front fenders) and then the cost for paint.

You can also Google the key words and do an image search for "s2ki (insert wheel spec)" and see if there's any pictures for you to reference. Also try this website http://www.willtheyfit.com/ and start punching in numbers to understand widths, offsets, and tire sizes. Good luck!
