How old is the hot version? Was it the orange AP1/2 with the Amuse R1 front end and the silver CE's?

If so they are Titanium Silver Volk CE28's sized 17x9 +40 all around.

There are several threads on 17x9+40 ce's. I'd suggest using a google search because it brings up better results, but I'd check out those threads. If you're willing to do some negative camber and roll your fenders as flat as you can, then you can run 255 square.

For tires get something like RE11A's, AD08R's, or even the new RE71. If those are pricey then either get RS3's or RE050's.

Price isn't an issue. After searching around I saw a guy have one with offset of +48. I'm not sure what the advantages are in this and if that would effect the tires hitting when I turn

I haven't heard of 17x9+48 ce28's... That size sounds odd to me.

To run 17x9+40 CE28's you need to roll your fenders flat and add camber - as in at least 3 degrees. If you are not wanting to do anything to your fenders, then I highly suggest getting the standard S2000 offset.

The standard offset would be less wide?

Yes it would be- think of the OEM AP2 setup, but CE28's instead of OEM rims.

I think to better help you, I need to ask a few questions- what is most important to you? What are you willing to do in terms of fenders? What are you not willing to do? If you tell me those things then I can more accurately recommend something that will work best for what you want to do.

Rolling is fine with me. But I don't really know that much about how camber works, it seems that all the ricers in the world use the camber systems..lol. like I still want my wheels to be planted straight.

I think you should consider your skill level, knowledge, and goals before making this kind of commitment. Of course I don't know what kind of budget you're working with, but if you're unsure what camber even does, you might need to read up first to see what's going to suit you best before throwing money at the car.

Not trying to be a dick, just saving you from going down a path that's all for naught.
