Default Will These Wheels Fit My AP1

Hey all I’m looking at a pair of SSR Sp1 and was wondering if this spec would fit my s2000 without any spacers or fender rolling. 17x8 et37 and 17x8 et17. My car is full bolton and lowered not too aggressively but they are adjustable coilovers so we can always raise the car as needed

No. You want higher offsets not lower. If you don’t want to roll fenders you need specs close to oem. Use the ap2 oem wheel specs for a reference point.

So I found another set of SSR SP1s and am wondering if these might do the trick.

17x7.5 et35 (fronts 215 or 225 would like to use)
17x8 et49 (rears 245 or 255 would like to use)

As you may know they’re not too easy to come by and I want to get a set that will work as best as possible on my s2000 with the limited options that I have to work with

also my car is a bit lowered on bc coils about a fingers width gap in between each tire and I don’t have my fenders rolled

The fronts would need a roll. Weird sizes also. I’d want a wider rear wheel than 8 inch.

Thanks for the quick reply and I def agree I
ideally want 17x9 and 17x7or8 but I only have a limited pool of rims to work with especially in the 17 inch spec. The search continues!!!

Why do you have such a limited group of options? All the sizes you’ve posted so far have been pretty far from good.

options range from Facebook, eBay, and forums. They are all used rims as authentic new ones are not really available. If you have any ssr sp1 or workmiesters s1 in 17 inch “s2000 spec” please send it right over and I’ll jump right on them in a haste

If you’re that set on that specific wheel, I would just recommend patience. It is better to buy what you want once than some crap size thing you’ll hate (source: my single season with Panasport G7C5C2 against the five years its taken me to piece together my set of racing harts).

You know that S2000 sizes tht don’t require fender rolling will offer very, very little lip. Right?
