lil_ant,

17x8...try to get +55 or higher (front). (I recommend 55).

17x9...try to get +58 or higher (rear). (I recommend 60).

Good luck on your purchase.

Mike (the guy from california who sold his S2000 and is building a factory five cobra) had those... his were 17*7's all around with i think a 40mm offset...215's at all corners too. i think at the time it was his only choice that brand/model.??

Or, my specifically Tantrum

They look nice, but it's the wheels that have offset, not the tire. What offsets do they come in.

You should consider getting the Yokohama AVS Model 7 rims, not the imitation Konig ones. They're a lot more expensive, but hey, it's an S2000.
