The offsets are a little low for S2k fitmet, but you can work with it. The ideal offset of S2Ks for 7.5" width is ~+48-52 and 8.5" is ~+55-60.
The fronts will fit quite flush. As for the rears, the fenders may need to be rolled to fit the +37 offset. This all depends on tire size, ride height, so I don't have a clue about your set up. Ideal tire sizes are 205/50 or 215/45 front and 225/45 rear. I say get the wheels. If you don't like the sizes, sell them!

a +37 on a 7.5" wheel is absolutely not a correct fit for the S2000 (front)........regardless of ride hieght or camber..........
Bad Choice unless you want the "Swamp-Buggy" look..........!!
The offest would NEED to be a minimum of a +48 for the 7.5"......and even that is pushin it......
There are 25.4 mm to 1 inch..................the +37's are nearly 1/2" out of where they should be............
The +51's you have found for the rears aren't much better.............
Get your fender roller ready..........
PM "SUBZERO" on the board about the wrong offsets for the "S" before you spend money on something that is not going to fit.
He too thought it was no big deal until....under load - going around corners with his +45's he was spittin tire chunks from rubbing the fender wells.........
BTW: He was not lowered...........

Will these fit?
Front 7.5 +44 / Rear 8.0 +47
or
Front 8.0 +47 / Rear 8.5 +51
Front 7.5 +44 / Rear 8.0 +47
or
Front 8.0 +47 / Rear 8.5 +51
Front with 7.5" wheel....needs at least a +48
Front with 8.0" wheel....needs at least a +51..........+53 would be best
Rear with 8.0"........you could get by with a +51.......approx +53 would be best
Rear with 8.5"........+57
You can MAKE a lot of things fit by rolling renders & changing tire sizes / widths
The sizes / offsets that I have listed assume:
1. That you do not want to roll any fenders.......front or rear.
2. That you are planning on running correctly staggered tires smaller front.....larger rears
3. If you are lowered or want to lower your car that you do not want clearance issues.

Thanks much, but dang, that sucks, cuz my friend carries some brands we dont have here yet. But s2k got some weird offsets, I guess I can't take advantage of the discounts.

Some might say yes. Anyhow, CALM DOWN there. I suggested the recommended sizes he should be using (no need to repeat it to me, but leave the options open). You didn't state what tire sizes and alignment you would be using, but it's definitely possible. It's not 1/2" difference, it's a 11mm difference front and 18mm difference rear. I've worked with worse offsets and wider sizes on the s2k.
Swamp buggy look? Good god. Not even. Why would you rule out rolling your fenders? Most of those sizes you guys are running aren't even fully flush. They're conservative at best to rule out rubbing yes, that's why I suggested rolling. If you're conservative, then yes, follow the sizing I recommended above **7.5" width is ~+48-52 and 8.5" is ~+55-60.**
