Default exact specs for AP2 17" wheels

Im in the market for some new wheels and tires to race with on the track and i really want to keep my car as oem spec as possible. It's a 2000 s2k with no mods. I want to put on the exact specs for the AP2 17" wheels. Does anyone know the oem offset and any other information i need to no so when i buy my set of wheels it will be like having the ap2 wheels on.

I believe they are the following.

Easy to find if you search though.

Front:
17" x 7.0", +55 offset
Rear:
17" x 8.5", +65 offset

Not many wheels available in those specs. Good time to upgrade to some wider wheels and tires to run either 225/255 or 255/255 with a non staggered setup.

sorry, i just thought i would get the best accurate info here. I would have no problems at all running the AP2 wheels with the 245 wide tires on my stock 2000 s2k. I wont rub at all with oem suspension right??

No not even close. The oem wheels are very sunken in. Can slam the car till it scrapes the ground before you will rub with them.

So it's a direct swap to AP1 to AP2 wheels eh, that's awesome. I wonder why Honda never put the AP2 size tires on the AP1 size wheels if they have that much room.

Because the AP1 wheels are skinnier than the AP2 wheels. Yeah if you search around here tons of people have AP2 wheels on their AP1's.

Must have been hitting something in the wheel liner on the inside. Won't be hitting the fenders as those are sunk in a couple inches.
