Default 17x8 + 38 offset (will they fit?)

I just bought a club racer, and want to buy some aftermarket wheels with cheap tires for daily driving. I found some wheels that I liek for a good price, and the website says that they fit my application, but I wanted to get some input from the experts. Here's the link to the website.

they are 17x8 38 offset...

and for $800 I think they look pretty nice...

Oh btw its stock CR suspension...

That offset will not work, in my opinion. Stock offset on the rear alone is about +65. If you aggressively roll your fenders they may work. I expect you will have the rear tire hiting your fender whenever you hit a bump. The front too, in my opinion, will not work either. Many sellers will list their wheels as fitting an S2000 because the spindle fitment works. Hope this helps. You will probably hear from others.

IMO, If you can afford an s2000.
You can afford some real deal wheels. No rotas unless you are tight on money. Even so, save up money and buy some real deal ones. With rotas you gonna spend close to 1,000 to 1,500 with tires (depending on what tires you get). So might as well save up even more!

As a former 2 time Rota owner who now has some SSR's. Wait and buy nice wheels the first time. You'll feel retarded having an S2k and you've got the same wheels as every beat up civic does. My SSR's were only like $800 used. just find a good deal
