for an s2000, a +35 offset is pretty low if the wheel is 9 inches or wider. variations of width and offsets from this point will determine the look and fitment you want.

a lot of guys on here hate low offset wheels and will swear by a 7-8 inch wide wheel with offsets somewhere in the low 40s to high 50s.

just browse around, see what look you like, and than evaluate whether or not you are going for performance or looks. depending on your goals for the car, you can have both.

hey guys. i am new here and have been browsing around. i am wondering what exactly the plus offset rims are for? i am thinking they widen the stance of the car a bit and maybe help enhance the handling a tad? i am still new to the car scene as i have been heavily into quads and dirtbikes for years....now i have alot to learn. i love the s2k and this forum. thanks for the explanation. are the +offsets in millimeters?
Heres a good explanation of wheels offsets

Oh yeah! Duh

I think you are right. Then again, I've never seen a Wide Body 240 or Supra, run anywhere near those sizes and offsets.
