wow those are really low offsets for an s2000...you'd want at least +50 or higher. I'd recommend selling the wheels.

Read the wheel fitment guide in the stickies.

If you don't want any fender mods then yeah you need to be in the +50 or higher all the way around. Volk and advan both make wheels with S2000 specific offsets that won't need any modification.

Basically any of these will work for you.

Listed below is a link to the wheels we carry that fit the car. The higher the offset the more clearance. You can do a lot with camber and narrower tires to make wheels fit.
If I can help let me know.

Those specs are not s2000 friendly. If you hate them I will take them off your hands for 500 (and no, they would not go on my S) There are a lot of wheels that will fit an s2000 without stretching tires or using crazy offsets. General rule is you want to stick to offsets higher than 50. For some good examples look through the meaty tire/ non staggered thread (most of the wheels have a proper sized counterpart to run in the front to maintain a staggered fitment)

or if you have some money to spend

Ok so im going to stick with these wheels and do somne fender mods. I been thinking about it becuase I do like the style of the wheel/spoke design.
This will be my first setup like this so advise is most likely needed.
Here are my thoughts

ASM style rear flares. They say these add 25mm. Will I need spacers? This will allow me to adjust to a more positive or less negative camber? CAN I ACOMPLISH THIS WITH STOCK CAMBER ADJUSTMENT? Will I be able to fit a bigger side wall on with a little less stretch? What needs to be done with the rear bumper or side skirt if anything?

I think I will keep the front with a mild roll. I think I could already go with more side wall on the front as it sits. here are some pics as it sits now.
Thanks! help me get this thing looking and handling better!

What are you tire specs now? I think if you wanted to roll and pull both the front and rear and run a little more camber in the rear you could make these almost fit. They will be aggressive but not crazy. However if you want to run a much wider tire then I suggest the rear overfenders and at least a 255 in the rear. You will be able to run wider if you want.

You know with ASM overfenders you need to cut the quarter panel for those to work right? Body on that S looks too clean.

You can get away with a roll and a maybe a slight pull with around a -2 F, -3 R camber on a 235/255 setup but you are not getting away without stretch unless you make 265 in the rear fit and that might be more than a pull.
