I think the Reverb model comes in an offset that fit S2K's if I remember...

Yea, I think they come in 18x7.5+42mm and 18x8.5+45mm. Not sure how the front will work out though.

7.5" +42mm is not overly aggressive either.

Keep in mind that one inch is 25.4 millimeters.

Stock AP2 wheel width and offset is 7" +48mm and 8.5" +63mm.

A 7.5" wheel with a +42mm offset means that you are pushing your wheel 18.7mm or approximately 3/4" closer to the fender. You would be fine with this offsest and a 215 front tire and 245 rear.

They also have a 18x9.5 +55 option for the rear...

your right, it appears that the reverbs are the way to go...

Axis Reverb (Anthracite)
front: 18x7.5+42
rear: 18x8.5+45

from the wheel fitment guide, the following tire combination is recommended for this offset:

front: 6.5

btw... is it possible to interchange the wheel caps? the hiro wheel caps look way better?

just out of interest, can you use any brand wheel caps?

Here's where you give all kinds of bad advice because your facts are incorrect.

AP2 Wheels
Front:
17" x 7.0", +55 offset, 215 tire
Rear:
17" x 8.5", +65 offset, 245 tire

I may have been wrong about the exact AP2 specs but it really doesn't matter. The fact of the matter remains that this setup will work.

Essentialy, your response to my post further reaffirms my point that this combination will work as the end user will have more clearance than they would had the offsets that I posted been correct.

Maybe with a guarantee like that you'll buy them after he rubs.
