Default Hate asking if they will fit okay but I have to

The wheels I'm looking at are 18x8 +46 offset all the way around. I've looked at the fitment guide and it looks like they will fit alright but I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with this kind of setup and how wide of a tire can I go with on the front and rear. I appreciate all the help in advance and apologize for being one of the million threads on here that as this question lol. thanks again

They will fit, You could run 245's all the way around, or stagger a 215/245 setup. All up to you.

I am just curious if you know the OEM rim is 8.5 inches wide in the rear? Im not bashing your choice of rim sizes, I am just wondering if you know. Your car will handle different so please take it easy at first, dont want to see another wrecked s2000!

Yeah I'd get a wheel at least as wide as the oem rear wheels (8.5). And if you're going to run something lower than +45, prepare for fender modifications/camber adjustments.

245 width tires with a +46 offset will be right at the threshold of rubbing on completely stock fenders. You should be fine.

ap1 oem size in the rear is 7.5 (which is what I have). ap2 is 8.5. So for me its going to be an upgrade in width of both wheel n tire and plus, I'm not looking to go super wide. not like the car is going to be tracked
