Reading into the ' will they fit ' ,
It looks like I would need arches rolled on both front and rear or more agressive camber than stated in his post .
Rolling of the arches , especially the fronts looks like a nightmare .

Hey Simon,
The wheels will definitely fit with an arch roll. I wouldn't have sold you wheels that wouldn't fit dude. Like I said though, you will need to run camber and roll the arches to make them tuck under. There are plenty of guys on here, especially on the US side of the pond that run 38 offset wheels.
As others have said though, I wouldn't run thin stretched tyres on them. Its not safe IMO. I would prefer to run normal 245's on the rear with a little extra camber. I believe around 2 degrees most of the US guys use on an ET38.
The other option is to put over fenders on the rear and roll the front arches out which would look mean!
I believe mr-pitts used to run ET38 Rotas on his S2000 and you can see the fitment of some ET37s (another mm more 'sticky outy') in this FS thread:

You can see how they fit on the photos I took when I fitted them on my Imola.

Again it would just be camber on the front mate. Or if you look at your wing, there is a 1" or so lip running around the wheel arch. Some people use an arch roller just to bend this out slightly to give a few more mm of 'tuck' for them to sit in.
As Andy said, they will go on no problem, its just a question of geo
I hope your bolts are free! I'm in the process of doing my geo bolts and polybushes at the mo!
There was also a guy on here from Poland I believe called GUSBO. His S2000 was absolute sex IMO. He extended the front arches out about an inch and ran over fenders on the rear. Depends how far you want to go I guess!
Here is his build thread: Page 9 shows his front wing mods!
