Yep! So you need hubcentric rings (well pretty much do anyway with any aftermarket wheel, they usually produce all wheels with 73.1 bore) or if you are doing spacers you need hubcentric ones. This the reason it is not an easy option to use rear AP2 wheels on the front for a non staggered setup. You either have to bore them out or use spacers.

Mike, you need to come talk to me, man. Remember, I have done this on more than just a couple S2000's...I can help you out. Actually, I'm surprised I'm not the first person you came to see.

However, what some of these guys have said is good info. The front of the car will accept up to a +45, but with some mods to the fenders, and +45 is about as far as you want to go in the rear without getting into some pretty heavy quarter panel/rear bumper mods as well.

My car is 17x7.5" +49 in the front, and 17x9" +35 in the rear.

Seth's car was +45 all the way around if I remember correctly.

And Kyle's is 17x8/9 +30 all the way around, and on his car I had to pinch the front fenders and trim the inner liner on the front, and roll/stretch the hell out of the rear and trim the bumper a ton PLUS add a bunch of camber to make everything fit. BUT, no rubbing that he can tell just yet!

Lemme know if you think I can help you, buddy. Wouldn't be my first time...
