I really like these wheels, however, I am unsure on the size.
http://www.whalentire.com/wheeldetail.cfm?...88066HS&size=18
I went to whalentire, because I am on a very low budget and noticed that they have 18X7.5, and 18X8. My quesiton is, should I go with 18X7.5 front, and 18X8 rear, or just 18X8 all around? Also, is a 45mm offset goin to fit the way it should on an S? Thanks alot.

I would stagger the wheels and go narrow with the tires with the 45mm offset. You really would want a higher offset for more clearance at the fenders.

Another thing Jim. I dont know much about offsets and the S2000, but their 18X7.5 is a 42mm offset, and their 18X8 is a 45mm offset. Wont these offsets cause the wheel to not be in the fenderwell, rather, be just flush with it? Also, why exactly would you prefer to run 18X7.5 in the front, rather then 18X8 all around?

Right - I used the stocks for my AX tires and these are my daily drivers. I just "dressed it up" in the driveway for photos to send to friends who don't know any better! I knew somebody here would catch that
