Default 8" wide et35 rear wheels....

I'm looking for a set of cheap autox/track wheels and I found a nice deal on some used Volk GT-Us (16x7 and 16x8 et35 all around) but I'm not sure if the offsets will work out. I would run a 225/50/16 up front and a 245/45/16 in the rear (street tires, either Advan Neovas, RE01Rs, RT-615s or Star Specs) for tires. I'm on the stock suspension and will be for quite some time. Would this setup sit inside the fenders on an otherwise stock S2000?

Im not sure that would work out so great... I am running a 8.5 +39 with a rt615 in a 235/40/17 and the edge of the tire is almost totally flush with the edge of the fender.

In essence your wheel and mine would be around the same distance out but the 245 would bubble out a bit so the edge of the tire would be further out than mine and I think you would rub.

Now... I AM lowered and I have alot of camber plus my fenders are shaved and the bumper tab is relocated. With your setup being basically stock, I think it would stick out a bit and rub during hard compression...
