Default S2000 Spacers?

Hey everyone...

I have the chance to get a deal on a nice set of rims.

Proper bolt pattern, style etc...

Only thing is that the offset is a low +42

What kind of spacers will I need in order for these to fit properly?

I am currently lowered on Skunk2 as well.

Any ideas? help?

-Paul

You can't use spacers. If you use a 10mm spacer on a +42 rim you will get +32. You would have to remove material from the rim to get a higher offset like +52, but thats usually not recommended.

You have some options though, roll your fenders, skinny tires, and more camber. How wide are these rims though?
