Question Rim and tire opinions??

Hi everyone, as you can see I am new to the S2K scene and recently purchased my first S2000 a few weeks ago! ( 2001 S2K with 92,000 miles all stock). I was considering purchasing some nice rims and tires for my first mod but wanted to see what you guys would recommend without me having to roll the fenders or do much (preferably any) cosmetic work.
  • What offset would I need?
I was considering going for a staggered set up:
Front - 17x8 rims on 215/40R17 tires
Rear - 17x9 rims on 235/40R17 tires

Thanks everyone for your help!

What he said. For no fender mods you need to be as close to AP2 OEM wheel spec as possible. Your tire sizes are wrong. Use the AP2 OEM sizes as a guide. 215/45/17 front 245/40/17 rear. Depending on the wheel specs you could run wider but it all depends on the width offset and a bunch of other factors.

The easiest option to not deal with fender mods is just buy OEM ap2 wheels. It gives you a bigger wheel, wider tires, no fender mods needed. The main downside is they are heavy.
