No the wheels are listed correctly and I have seen them on the car. There have been post on the forum with the wheels and 255/35R18 tires on them.

don, if you want a deep lip look, then you should get 50 in front and 55 in rear. this combo with a 1.5 in drop would need 225/40 in front and 255/35 in rear, i have BBS LMs 18x8 and 18x9.5, this offset combo looks awesome and does not rub, however i am running H & Rs which only lowered car close to an inch. My friend used Eibach pro kit and he rubs ever so slightly in the front on hard compression but we both run 235/40s in the front. If you want 18x10s in rear then you would definitely need an offset of at least 65 and i believe only certain wheel companies make this custom offset.

I have to go with RT with this....
I'm running 18x8.5 with +53 and 255/35 in the rear and i'm rubbing on severe dips. My car is lowered with about 1 1/2 finger gap. I should have gone with at least +58 with 8.5" width. But I guess every S2000 setup is different!
