17" wheels are the most suited to the S

Tyre sizes are upto you. I run OEM sizes:

7.5" wheel on the front with a 215/45/17 tyre - T1R (offset +45)
8" wheel on the rear with a 245/40/17 tyre -T1R (offset + 48)

The offset again is up to you. The offset I have on both wheels are IMO the lowest you should go.

Ask Garage R in the trades forum, he's doing a GB on ROTA's.

If you go with a lower offset the wheels will stick further out from the hub. Meaning if you lower the car, the wheels will hit the arches. So you would have to roll them.

If you don't lower the car they would look shite aswell. When lowering you add camber which will tuck the wheels into the arches

Here you go. I've just got this pic from the US forum.

It shows you what a low offset wheel looks like on the S..........Shat.



Stick with 45+ matey.

P:S Don't go to wide with the wheel width either
