i'll be buying my s2000 very soon and have been offered a set of work xd9's - 17 x 8.5j et 32 all round.

they will obviously fit, but how well? im aftter a set-up that sits nicely in the arches but nothing that will compromise handling in way of having to make them fit

dave_t

anyone ran a similar setup for reference?

I had 17x8 +35 and they fit with no modifcations. I also had 17x9 +35 with 255 tires, just needed to roll the fenders. Your size should be fine

Lowered on Skunk2 Springs. Rolled Fenders. Buddies car. Very little to no rubbing, only on some aggressive terrain. F: 17x8.5 +32 225/45/17 / R: 17x9 +38

First off they do not fit the car without modification. If you look at the pictures that are posted the tires and wheels are ouside the fender. They are going to rub.
Without changing the sway bars most people do not like the way the car handles with the same wheel and tire on all four corners. Obviously you can make them fit but don't expect to just throw them on the car.

Yeah there are varying ideas of "doesn't rub." I tried on a set of 17X8+35 with only 225s and it rubbed like crazy with factory suspension. I guess you could say it didn't rub cruising down a perfectly flat road, but things are different once you leave the hellaflush meet parking lot.
