Take directly from the link above...
16x7; 42mm offset
16x8; 45mm offset
So, you think the offsets for the 16" version is good enough for the S2000?

They are making the 17" for us but the 16" will not be available in the correct offset. We do not show a correct size tire for the Yokohama AVS Sport in the 18". The tire sizes we recommend would be 225/40R18 front and 255/35R18 rear.
Let me know if I can help.
Thank you

I'm not surprised SSR won't be making an application for the 16" wheels. Why? B/C most people that buy aftermarket wheels wants bigger then stock size wheels.

I can't wait for the SSR Comp's arriving later today for my hatch. I'll post pics here...Remember, just don't laugh too hard when you see my wheel well gap (Yeah, I know I need to lower it)

If you really want to split hairs, it's not the diameter, it's the rolling radius (takes sidewall deflection into account). The tire companies used to publish this number more commonly but it seems now a days the "IN" way to express this dimension is by stating Revolutions Per Mile (I believe the stock SO-2's are 837 rev/mile).
If you stay within a % or so of this on the rears (say 825 to 845), I don't think you'll notice the gearing (or speedo) difference.
