Default 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 +35 offset

I have these wheels on my VR4 in the 17x9 +35 size. The wheel pattern is the same as the s2000 so they will bolt up I assume. My research tells they might work on an s2000 with a 10 or 15mm spacer maybe? Or am I way off? Appropriate wheel sizing has always eluded me. If they can fit, could this be used to run a non staggered setup like 245 or 255 all the way around? What would be the ideal tire size? Are 265 and 275 options? I could see maybe a 245/275 setup working well.

+35 with 10mm spacers = +25

Its counter-intuitive :]

found someone with the same wheel specs in another thread..

"I have 17x9 +35 and 255/40/17 all around
Took a pull and roll plus - camber "

looks like I have my answer and I know what needs to be done to make it fit haha

i have 17x8 +42 in the front
and 17x9 +35 in the rear.
front are 100% fine. if u wanna dump it then you would need to run some camber.
the rears on the other hand are a tight fit.
I run 245 with rolled rears and removed bumper tab and it sits flush with the tire. Ill have some photos soon on it.

Before the roll the wheels worked with some camber but would still scrap sidewall on bumps and it started thrashing the tires.

edit:
i have no pull whatsoever with my rolled rears also....

and u stated 275? on a 9inch wheel.... little overkill? 255 is plenty of meat for that size.
