Would the rims 17x7 with a +38 Offset fit on the S2000's with no modifications or would 18x8.5 with a +35 offset fit better? the wheels im looking at are the XXR-521, and if either one fit with no modification what tire sizes do you guys recommend, thanks guy for the knowledge.

 

you looking to run a square setup? you on stock suspension? 17x7 +38 will fit with no mods but tire sizes will be limited to something between a 205 and a 225. neither of which are ideal for a square setup(unless you want to run AP1 specs with 205 in front and 225 in the rear but it will look a little off with non-staggered wheels). 18x8.5 +35 will allow you to run 235s or 245s which is much better for a square setup but you will definitely need at least a good fender roll to avoid rubbing.

 

i really like the xxr-521 rims and a square setup would be ok on the S2000 since XXR-521 other sizes are 18x10 that are +25 offset and 17x7 is the only size 17's come in, and im dropped on Teins S-tech. Thanks again for the reply.

 

it's unfortunate that xxr doesn't make more offsets for their 17s bc they could've been such a bargain, but making the 18s fit with their width and offset is just a nuisance

 

they could have been great sellers in our community with better offsets.

 

They are fine for the front but I wouldn't do it on the rear. To narrow. OEM Ap2 wheels are 8.5 in the rear.

 

is it ideal to run 17x7 fronts and 18x8.5 rears, has anyone done that before?

 

yeah, it's doable and i'm sure it's been done. just need to run tire sizes that have the same overall diameter. so, something like 215/45/17 front and 235/35/18 rear. still would need a fender roll in the rear most likely.

 

im running the xxr 521 the 18x10 +25 in the rear and running 245/40/18 on them. im going to run overfenders and get something along the lines of 275 haha the 17x7 is way to small imo and the 18's fit nice with 35 series tires
