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.

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?
[/quote]
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.
[/quote]
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.

ya its all good. i'm a pretty good driver but just not that knowledgeable about car specs and parts. i was never taught anything on how cars work. im just really interested in them.

Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSFmUmVWBp0 along with the other videos on caster and toe.
The long/short of it is, Camber is safeish... it's for turning, you want some but it's something that should be tuned to application; modest camber causes mild wear. Toe is very dependent on function and wears tires out faster than camber. Caster keeps your car going in a straight line and returns it to a straight line after turning; max caster is generally safe for tire wear and causes no immediate harm.

Glws, brah. Lol. On a more serious note, read up on car dynamics. MotoIQ has a pretty good article to read up on written by Billy Johnson. Great read on how the whole unit works together.
Edit: link to article and it was written by Mike Kojima. Billy did the driver development write up

Good god must we quote everything?
I cannot actually tell what your question is anymore but it sounds like you really need to familiarize yourself with this car and what works wheel wise and what the different measurements mean. This thread is a good start.
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/342...fitment-guide/
You can also plug in the oem specs and the new specs here to see how different widths and offsets changes where the wheel sits.
http://www.willtheyfit.com/
Finally if you are looking at the 17x9 +40 wheels you will need to roll the fenders, relocate the rear tab, and run more camber. The front fenders will likely need a pull as well to fit a proper size tire. As for tire size I would do either 245/40/17 all around or 255/40/17. The 245 will require less of a pull and less camber in the front as the tire is slightly narrower.

Yes but what I am saying is you may need to run more camber than what it is set at stock to allow the wheels to clear. The ricers and hellfail cars run like -7. You may need -2 or -2.5 to allow the wheels to clear. Nothing extreme. Also the S2000 does not need camber kits.

ok i spent the whole day looking at this stuff, i thought i would need a kit. thanks for the help man. after this car is fully done i will be very knowledgeable about all of this lol

"Camber kits", if you're talking about like a RCA, is meant to mechanically give it more camber- but for the S2000, that's only when you're going more than 3.5 degrees. You won't have to do that on this setup.
With that said 17x9+40 doesn't come up all the time in the classifieds, and if you order them they take 4-6 months to arrive.

245/40/17 tire on the CE28N 17x9 +40 in Titanium Silver with -3.3 degrees of camber. Don't mind the stickers...first time ever autocrossing...LMAO
Fenders are rolled and pulled.

would 17x9 +38 fit as good? i was looking at the rays gram lights and apparently they dont come in +40 offset
