Rims offset?
Hey i just wanna know if you can put 18x10.5 on a s2000? I've found a set of 18x10.5 all around, so just wanna see if it can fit in the fronts and the rear?
Thanks for the suggestion

Unless the offset is in the 50-60 range, forget about fitting them properly. I managed to fit an 18x10.5 +22 in the rear, but only with a massive fender pull, 235/35 tires, and 6 degrees of camber.

you will need some pretty high offsets if you want the wheels to fit properly.
and by fitting properly, i don't mean by that hellaflush crap either where they would run those size wheels with like a +28 offset with stretch tires and a lot camber
my main question is, what look are you going for?
track? hellaflush? functional?
how low are you planning on going?
what tire size are you planning on getting with those wheels?
even if you get high offsets, you will definitely need some fender work done if you don't want any rubbing
this guy is more for the track look
his wheel specs are 17x10 +45 offsets with meaty 255/40-17 tires all around
^^even with that set up and height, he has his fenders rolled and pulled

1. 17x10 +45 would be too aggressive for stock fenders unless running stretched tires and/or too much camber.
2. 255 tire on a 10 would seem that it would be stretched since most run 265/275 on same size wheel(I know that different tires run wider than others).
3. Everything would match up and start to make sense if those wheels were in actuality 9.5" wide...
But hey, if it works...It works.
Btw OP, its not the size of the wheel that you have to worry about, its the offset. But once you go 10.5" wide or wider wheels its harder and harder to fit them inside the fender w/o worrying about them rubbing on the suspension components. I believe the wheel well in the rear is 12" wide and the front is less. That's why most people put over fenders on and go with a lower offset set.

I run 255 on my 10 inch wide wheels and they have a slight stretch. Its just enough that you can see it but there is plenty of tire on there still. I think they would look way to stretched on a 10.5 inch wide wheel.

There is one guy on the Track thread that runs a CCW 18x10.5 and 18x11 rear, with 285/30/18 and 295/30/19 tires. I believe his rear fenders are stock because the offset is somewhere above +60. I want to say he runs Downforce +30mm fenders up front and the fronts are also very high offset. It probably rubs on the inside when the steering gets close to full lock but it is rare you need to turn quite that much on the track for that to matter.
