Will these fit?

4. What fits?
Many people have tried many different wheels and tires on the S2000. Along the way, a lot of people have had problems with rubbing. Some had a little rubbing, and some had none. With all of this experimentation, a few things were figured out. The information below is not the drop dead final word of what will and will not fit. Certain things can be done to make something fit that otherwise wouldn't, such as increasing negative camber, running narrow tires, and rolling fenders, but that adds a lot of variability to this equation and thus is difficult to predict. We'll assume the owner has had a proper alignment, uses tires recommended for the chosen wheel width, and hasn't modified their fenders.
Based on successes and failures from many S2000 owners, we can use an offset calculator to figure out what other offsets and tires will work. These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.
For the front:
205 tires: +43 offset minimum (6.5

Sorry to ask again, but I just want to make sure before I go spending $2000 on wheels. So according to the FAQ, they will fit with 255 in the rear?

It's impossible to tell without knowing your alignment settings and ride height. If you are on stock suspension, you will probably be alright. A 255 on a 9.5" +50 will rub if you are lowered at all. It's not a big deal though and it won't be hard to fix. A slight fender roll or adding some negative camber will fix it. I'd say 225/40, 255/35 tires would be ideal but if rubbing is your #1 concern then go 215/40, 245/35.
