Default low offset s2000

hello, i want to get some 17 or 18 gunmetal te37 for my s. and i would like to get some low offset one. i know it will not fit, my questions is how can i make them fit, do i have to roll the fender. and is it hard and expensive to do so, because i have to spend 2500 for the wheels, and i dont want to spend more to just make them fit. and also, what are the lowest i can go. thanks for all your help.

also this should be posted on the wheel tire forum

Seems like you want to set yourself up for failure.

If you've got $2500 to spend on wheels, you can easily find something nice that would fit properly on the car. . .

You'd be surprised at what will fit, without rubbing, especially if you drop the car. The 3 or so degrees of camber that result will clear a 17" +35 without flaring(rear). Don't listen to scary people that have no experience with low offset... nothing looks gay-er than a rwd car with high offset fwd wheels in the back.

With the picture you provided you cannot tell the offset. With the te37/le37 I believe the lowest offset you can go for the rear with just having to roll the fenders is a 17x9 45. Even with these im not sure you will get the sunk face / concave look to them. maybe some low offset volk experts will chime in.
