Default 19" will these fit?

Hey all.
I am new to this forums.
I had a s2000 for about a year, however, I don't have a chance to come out for any of the meet.
I found this in local craiglist and want to share with you guys....
19" rims.... will these fit?

I think most people would say 19's are too big for the s2000 just based on looks. Also the offset may not be the best. Here is a guide on the forum.

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=342793

For the front:
Offsets lower than +43 are not recommended on the front because a very narrow tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+43 to +47 offset: 205 tires, 6.5" - 7.5" wide wheel
+48 to +52 offset: 215 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+53 to +57 offset: 225 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+58 to +62 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+63 or higher offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel

For the rear:
Offsets below 40 are not recommended for the rear because a tire narrower than the stock tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+40 to +44 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+45 to +49 offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 9.0" wide wheel
+50 to +54 offset: 255 tires, 8.0" - 9.5" wide wheel
+55 to +59 offset: 265 tires, 8.5" - 9.5" wide wheel
+60 to +64 offset: 275 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel
+65 or higher offset: 285 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel

19's fit just fine. I've been rocking 19x8 +35 for 2 years. I run a 235/35 tire with the fenders very mildly rolled. Some people don't like the big wheels but I personally think they look good. If you like em get em, they'll fit. But be prepared for some fender work and you'll probably have to stretch the tire just a bit.

Agreed^ japeth's look good too, ive seen in person, yes a very small amout of rollin/work will be needed but dont plan to drop it too low, cause you won't have any suspension travel with the size of the tires ontop of the rim.

Imo if you have to roll the fenders, they don't fit. Not without modification. I'd also say 19" looks too big on the S.

One crack in the road away from a bent rim. Good luck

I agree with most the the responses in this thread; 19s are too big for the S2000. You could make them fit, but the majority of people out there will tell you that 17s or 18s would look better.

It would take more than a roll to fit a 19x9 +35. You will need to flare you fenders or run a lot of negative camber. Because that advan wheel does not have a lip it is going to make them look even bigger on the car. For a that price or a little more you could by a set of those advans in 17s or 18s brand new with tires. Those wheels and tires and not as expensive as the seller is implying.
