Default Deep dish rim offset

Hey guys. New to this forum but thought I should ask other owners about offsets for S2k. Looking at picking up a set of rims locally but unsure if this size or crazy offset will work.
18x9 +9 f
18x10 +7 r

my car is not lowered yet.

thx for your input.

That's what I suspected . Sweet rims tho. They're Work VS-KF's. Prob more messing around to make a rim fit than finding the right size.

Thx

the offset and the width are your problems here. S2000s stock have a pretty high offset. Width wise you can go safely, no rub to 8.5" rears with stock offsets : )

Those offsets are FAR too aggressive for a stock bodied s2000 IMO. need widebody kit

Thx for the advice. Am looking for rims with a more conservative offset but staggered set up.
