Default Varrstoen wheel fitment?

Hey I'm wanting to get some varrstoen TE37 (I believe they're called the V2's) replicas for my S. Problem is all of the sizes are VERY aggressive for our cars. The most s2000 friendly setup I found was 17x9 +30. I'm ok with stretching the tires and rolling the fenders and adding some camber, but would that be enough? I'm really not trying to pull the fenders. Thanks

Those are going to be really aggressive and poke a lot. You would definitely need a fender pull to make these fit. I have 17x9 +45 fronts and they are flush with 245/40 tires, rolled fenders, and -2.0 camber. Any lower offset and you start to be in serious danger of damaging your fenders. For reps it is definitely not worth the hassle. For a similar style have you looked at Rota Grids having more compatible sizing?

Nope. Look at the rotas like jet said. Or save and buy better wheels.

The Miro 398 are also TE37 reps that you can get in 18x8.5 +35 which I'm guessing will probably fit better, you might need just a roll, but if your lowered you might need camber.

Varsstoen also has has 18x8.5 +35/+45, but probably not as concave.

And 8.5 is kind weak width wise since you aren't really getting much more wheel.

Thanks, yeah rota grids have nice sizes but I don't like the way the spokes poke out on the outside... Maybe I'm being picky haha

Varrstoen makes a 17x9 +35 for 5x100. Your best bet is if you call them and ask if you can make a custom order for a 17x9 +35 5x114.3 bolt pattern which I highly doubt they would do but you can give it a shot. And even then a +35 offset with a 9 inch wide wheel is still on the edge. Lots of fender work and negative camber.
