Default TR motorsports MT1-R, do they fit?

So I saw these on craigslist and I like how they look, also theyre pretty cheap. Wondering if theyll fit on my S2000, havent seen a S2000 with them yet.

Edit: in the title I put MT1-R, but theyre just MT1s

+38 is very aggressive. You will have to roll, pull and add lot of camber and it may still not be enough!

It's a 8 inch wheel though on 235s. You'll need to roll but I don't think you'll need any pulling.

Damn id rather not do that, would I need to roll the rears? ap2 stock rims in the rear are 17x8.5 with 245 tires so does offset really make that big of a difference?

Yes, wheel/tire fitment always comes down to offset.

So if I wanna run a 17x8 wheel what offsets would fit without rolling fenders?

+43 or higher. Really +38 isn't that extreme on an 8 inch wheel. You'd need a good roll and may a little camber. Maybe see if the guy,will let you test fit?

Im not sure because I havent contacted the guy yet, im looking at another set of rims that were previously on a S2000 and these would be my backup if those are sold. If I were to test fit them how would I know if they were bad? Would the rim like stick out?

Also those tires are 235 all around, would that fit in the front? I havent seen anyone use 235s in the front yet.

17x8 +45 on a 215/45/17 will not rub on the front or require rolling and there are plenty of options for u to choose from
