Rear looks good, it's close to a JDM VIP fitment for the rear but not quite low enough and not quite enough negative camber to fit that image...although good compromise for daily driven use.

The fronts IMO do look too high of an offset relative to the rear. My LS105s on my M45 have a similar look that I'm dissapointed with (I went too high on the front offset and although my rear looks agressive like yours, my front fitment looks a little weak in comparison).

Congrats on the fit though, I like that you're trying new things and aim to continue improving your extreme fit.

FYI, if you want deeper lips go with the Garson Deep Racing rim, it has deeper lips than the S1s or Professors. You could get a 5" lip or so with offsets like that using the Garson rim rather than Work. When my customers want deep lips, I always recommend those Garsons, somehow they always squeeze out an extra inch of lip vs any other rim.

i didnt want full VIP rear, because didnt want it too bowlegged.. also the fronts i WANTED high because i wanted squared off tires in front (for potholes, and also steering on the S2k has a lot of caster.. so a tire near the fender gets closer to fender when turning out.. i like driving her daily and not worrying about EVERY place i turn into.. that im going to rip fenders off..

as far as the DEep garson wheels. i absolutely hate the wheel and the idea of how they stole design/etc. also if you look at the OTHER. not plural cause they only make one other wheel. its the ugliest thing in the world a 2 spoke chrome wheel. althought they have nice lips id rather have sexy wheels than just lip. on these i could have gone w/ more lip but decided to stick with what i have because it was just right..

i actually ordered the next set monday.. and was going to go w/ 9" front .. bigger lip but i decided i like the aquared off front tire for potholes and other road debris.. our transitions on the highway(from road to bridges) are very harsh sometimes having 1" variation in height.. so.. having a front thats better for taking those dips is more important to me than a mere 12mm more lip..

thanx for comments tho. im glad everyone likes.. im in love with them.

Hey Riley, I have a question about how you made your wheels fit your s2k without rubbing. I know you listed 3 options.. but I want to know which route you went.
I have a set of wheels in my garage. The fronts are 17X8 +35 (extends 21mm more) and the rears are 17X9 +35... so these rear wheels would actually retract 17mm towards the car (stick out less). I have 215/45's on them all around and I want to know if you have any suggestions as to how i can make these fit without rubbing. I'm stock height. But i do plan on lowering it. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
