Here's a little tease of the rears, since I don't have center caps yet.
17x8+42 wrapped with 225/45 Hankooks
17x9+35 wrapped with 255/40 Hankooks
*I do not know what exactly has been done with the fenders/liners, I bought the car with them already rolled. I've personally have not done any fender, liner, or tab work. Camber appears to be in spec from a visual stand point, I haven't had an alignment done since buying the car. I do however need to pull the camber in just a tad on the back, it currently rubs a little on bumps and moderate cornering.
Anyone considering the 17x9.5+45 option, that pokes out 4mm less for reference, but weighs 0.5 pounds more per wheel.
Unfortunately, it's close but this size is not BBK friendly. I know a couple of guys who tried with Stoptechs and AP Racing. You will need a 3mm spacer to get the clearance.
Stick with the SA-72R then. 17x9.5 +47 / 17x10 +55 / 17x10.5 +44 all clear stoptech ST40
So I'm still quite confused with the s2000 wheel fitment, but will any of these 17" rims fit an AP2 without fender/camber modifications?
Offerings 17 Inch S2000 Sizings:
17x8.0 +42 5x114.3 Face F
17x8.0 +49 5x114.3 Face F
17x8.5 +43 5x114.3 Face F
17x9.0 +35 5x114.3 Face MR
17x9.0 +49 5x114.3 Face F
17x9.5 +45 5x114.3 Face MR
Short answer - No.
Long answer:
More details, need to be in the +55 offset up front.
OEM sizes and offsets for reference.
Front:
17" x 7.0", +55 offset
Rear:
17" x 8.5", +65 offset
This is the least aggressive wheel in their offerings:
17x8.0 +49 5x114.3 Face F
which is both wider with a lower offset.
You need to at least do a flat roll and run -2.0 camber (at a bare minimum).

Dang, that's unfortunate because these wheels look great and are super light weight... To bad.
Are there wheels that are similar to these (looks and weight wise) that work for the AP2 without feeder modifications?
I've heard people talk about the Advan RZ's?

Thanks for the insight!
Hey! Most people now are going with Advan RSII or Advan RZII since they have these size options:
17x8.0 +54
17x9.0 +63
Which you can run square or staggered without fender mods. But as always, if you are dropped low even stock wheels and tires can still grab the fender clip and lift your fender up.
@Mike127 Hey I'm wondering if you would be so kind enough to check that Stoptech ST40 template on your 17x8 +42 TC105X wheel please when you have time? We haven't got much info on BBK clearance and this would be really great info to have! Also because I have the ST40 and would like to see if this specific wheel will clear. Thanks!
