Default 17x8's all around?

First Im not sure they will even fit, but doing some preliminary reading it seems that most people say to stay with a staggered setup. Is it possible to run a 17x8 all the way around and run a smaller tire up front while running a larger tire in the rear? This is for a 2002 S2K.

The wheels in question are OZ Superleggeras, 17x8, 5x114.3, they were on a RSX and the seller thinks they are +45 offset but is double checking for me.

Will these fit? Tires are currently 215/45/17 but I would plan on changing them out to better suit the S2000s original setup...

Thank you- sorry if this is a stupid question, Im entirely new to S2000s.

The 215/45R17 will fit on the 17X8 but it is going to be tight with the 45mm offset. You are going to be tight on the front but if you stay with the 215/45R17 you should be fine. You are going to need different centering rings to make the wheels hub centric.

Thank you Jim.

1) What size tire would you recommend using in the rear if I was to stick with the 215/45 up front? 245/40?

2) Can you speak more to centering rings? Are these available from the wheel manufacturer or other places ie. tire rack as well?

Thanks-
