Dear all s2k owners
i'm planning to buy a set of rims for my car and the size i want is 245/40/17 all around....i will install after market suspension too so can all u pro's out there tell me wht offset will suit my car for not needing to roll fenders or any other work...?

The best thing to do is go with the highest offset you can get. I would suggest going around a 55mm offset or higher. If I can help with the tires let me know. I do have the Michelin PS2 on sale at 154.00 each.

17x9 +63 if i install these set of wheels front and back and A050 tyre would that be ok? thinking of 235/40 front and 255/40 rear...is that rim size ok to fit those tyre without rubbing?

You can run up to 255's on 17X9 +63 all around without rubbing.

17 x 8 +38 / 17 x 9.5 +42 would this size be ok with 235/40 front and 255/45 rear and no rubbing?
and the front i should use 40 or 45 profile?

That will rub for sure. We already told you that you need +55 or higher if you don't want to do fender work.

235/40-17 front with 255/40-17 would be a better size combination if you ask me.

235/45's would be taller than 255/40's and would be more likely to rub.
235/40's would be shorter than 255/40s by about the same amount, better aesthetically and less likely to rub.

I don't like the 235/40 or 235/45R17 on the S2K. One tires is shorter than stock and one is taller than stock. They are also going to be taller or shorter than the rear tires.
