Default rpf1 17x9.5 +38 all around

I think they would fit, but i wanted the brilliant minds here at s2ki to re assure me. Id probably add spacers to the rear..

Cannot tell if trolling or just sarcastic........ The rears will fit with a fender roll tab relo and camber. The fronts will need a roll and flare and quite a bit of camber. I run 17x9 +43 in front and I had to flare my fenders a little. Spacers of any kind would make them not fit if you want to run a decent tire size.

Google "17x9.5 +38 s2000" or some variation thereof. Several people have done it and its very possible on stock fenders even with 255s all around. Why would you add spacers to the rear? How low are you? How much camber are you looking to run? What tire size are you trying to use?

I think with 17x9.5 people usually run +45 to +60 offsets in the rear depending on aggressive they wanna go

The setup is possible but the front you will have to flare the F*ck out of the fenders to fit 245/255. The rear with a roll, tab relocate and camber you can fit it using a 245 (had this setup a while back). If your looking to have a functional setup with alot of tire just go with the 17x9+45 square setup and a roll front/rear and tab relocate of course.

Yea this setup has been done but I would look elsewhere is you do not want to do serious bodywork (requires repainting). That is what it may come to. Good luck

The rear is easy, its what mine started out as before I widened them to the inside. Just roll the fenders and relocate the bumper tab. If you want to run 255 then you will need -2.8 to -3 camber. That's your fitment range if your lowered. The front can be done if you flare the f@#k out of your fenders, but instead of that I would just run either a 9 +45 if you want the matching concave face, or 8.5 +40 such as mine shown with the convex face, for a easier less evasive fitment. Just run a 245/40 up front with the rear 255.
