Default DRAG WHEEL SIZING

I was wondering if anyone could offer some information about drag wheel(slicks and skinny) sizing on the s2000. I am looking into picking up a set of 17" front skinnys and 15" rear wheels. I know kings and some other vendors sell the Weld RT-S and dont disclose the backspacing and widths. Can anyone confirm what sizing will work best on the S? Thanks guys.

This^
I have champion skinnies on my car and they were much much cheaper than almost anything else out there and they are built to order and custom backspaces. I had to run spacers on the from with stock brakes for my 15s but they still fit in the fender and with the willwood brakes on my race car they clear with 0 spacer.
I will be ordering my rears from them soon because the fronts fit so nicely and were so much cheaper than welds. I just need to figure what backspacing I'm going to need for my race car at 14" wide lol
