OK, so I found these wheels at dicount tire but not sure how well they will fit.
They tell me these will work fine.

Hoping to get some expert input from you all. Thank you!

i suggest that you take this up in the wheel and tire forum, they know a lot there. First off, you're going to need staggered wheel sizes front and rear to maintain handling balance. I mean, you need to proportionally increase the tire widths front and rear when you get new wheels. The deciding factor on the S2000 is the high offsets required. Diameter and width is less important, but you'd be hard pressed to get anything seriously wide on the back (more than 9-9.5 inches). Definitely go to the wheel and tire specialty forum, they can help you out.

Thanks for the info! I went to the tire forum, completely missed it.

I was going to use diff size tires.
Notice people here are running this type of setup and haven't seen any neg comments or feed backs.

Yes, definately have to lower it...now springs, ah, so many decisions. Got any recommendations?

the KG/MM race springs seem to get really good reviews. If you want just looks, they'll be fine by themselves on stock shocks. However, for performance you ought to go with a spring/shock setup or a full coilover setup, like those from Tein, Buddy Club, Bilstein, and others.
