17x9+44/45 all around imo. That looks really good I think and not hellaflush and useless like many of the super low offsets people run.

Actually I'm a little worried about that. I ordered 17x9+60's thinking that +60 is an s2k friendly offset. I'm worried about it looking sunken in. How do +60 offset's look on s2000's?
It does seem like a good size performance wise though, I guess it's a matter of wait and see. They are due to arrive by Friday.

It will be sunk in a little bit but not too bad. 15mm is a little over half an inch. So not too much more sunk.
I have 17x9+44 all around. I'm a little too low now so did rub a little. Raising it up shortly.

so it should still be a good look?

I also have slightly rolled fenders, they were rolled when I bought the car.

Yeah should look good still. If you ever wanted to could get 10-15mm spacers down the road if you wanted them a little more flush with fenders.

True, running spacers can be dangerous though, from what I have heard.

I'll see how I go once they are on the car with my coilovers installed.
I didn't have any other option for offset with these wheels anyway lol.

I thought for the s2k a staggered I'd preferred for optimal driving experience? Why you some people decide ti go non staggered? Any advantages?

in theory you can rotate the tires. however, most people choose to use different size tires on the front than rear. So it really doesn't make a lot of since unless you're looking to save a few bucks for smaller width tires. Maybe the rims they want only come in 17 by x and that's what they want no matter what.

.5x114.3
.17x8.5
.+25 offset

so these specs probably wouldnt work because the =25 is way too aggressive huh

With fender work and neg camber they would work since it is only an 8.5" wheel and most run a 9" in the back.
