You definitely wont need spacers with those. I run 17x8/9 +47 with a 225/255 combo and IMO, it is the perfect setup. You will most certainly need a roll, bumper tab relocation, and lots of camber.

IMO, those wheels dont look right on the S2000. You buy whatever you think looks good though. You cant go wrong with mesh type wheels or a clean 5-6 spoke wheel. 3 spoke wheels are more of an 80s-90s style that fits older car's styles.

I may just try to find a set of ap2 wheels. I like the ap2v1 and ap2v3. Really wish I could find a set of the ap2v3s!

Maybe try to find some AP2 wheels and you can at least have a little wider wheel/tire. Also, the car is going to ride like garbage being slammed on 16s. You will no doubt bottom out on tons of stuff and it doesnt even look good IMO. If you want slammed, at least have some aftermarket wheels to make it look tough. Otherwise it look like doo doo on ap1 wheels. No offense to the guy above.
This is true. The 16's don't necessarily ride like garbage, but unless you have plans to get bigger and wider wheels I wouldn't recommend "slamming it." I'm ordering wheels next week and just put my coils on last week, so I knew I wouldn't be riding on those damn AP1 stockers for long.
