I test fitted the wheels.
18x7.5 fronts 42offset
19x9.5 rears 41 offset

The rears stick out like a inch or something. I dunno if I can get away with it.
Would it be dumb to run these? How could I run these and make it look alright?

i would stretch the crap out of the tires....that would help you get away with the rim sticking out past the body.....similar to the look of the 240s that run around

Seriously, I wouldn't do it. You'll either have to do lots of work on the stock fenders or need a widebody kit to make it look right. The offset is just to far off for those rims to work. Even if you runs TONS of camber, stretch the hell out of small tires, and roll the fenders until you almost pry them off the car you'll end up with no tread life and will buying replacement tires fairly often. I've got no problem with 19's on the S2000, I still have a set in my garage, but these are just wrong. If you want a set of 19's that were made to fit the S2000 send me a PM and I'll let you know what I've got.

Thanks guys, its pretty stupid to try. I think a stock look would look better than this. Perhaps AP2 wheels... most likely be cheaper too.

You guys don't think he could shave the rim hat down? As well as running stretched tires... Question is I dunno who can do this type of work down here. Fred retired.

Sent you a PM, if you still have the GT3's I have a Red/Black NSX that would look really good with them.
