Default To those that have done wheel upgrades...

I am a relatively new S2000 owner, and am interested in upgrading to 17 or 18" wheels. I'm having one hell of a time finding wheels that I like, with widths wider than the factory wheels, and with such high offsets (+55F/+65R). To those of you out there that have already upgraded, what wheel widths/offsets did you go with?

Has anyone disregarded the wider rear wheel and gone with say 7.5" or 8.0" wide wheels on all four corners?, and what offset did you use?

Has anyone used 40 or 45mm offsets?, and do they stick outside the wheelwell by alot and/or rub?

Thanks to stingerbtry and rowland for replying to my querie in another thread, but I need more input !!!

-Mike

did you try tirerack.com ?
they have wheels specified to fit the s2k, or any other car for that matter, and recommend tire sizes too, you can order the wheels and tires from there too
