The higher the offset the better for clearance. The best fitting would be 50+ in the front and 60+ in the rear. The lower you go on the offset the more it takes to make them fit. The tire sizes would need to be 225/40R18 and either 245/35R18 or 255/35R18 on the rear.
If I can help let me know.

 

How would this work? with a nice drop from Espelir springs

Front: Tenzo R Tracer V.1 Wheel - 18x7.5 / 5x112/114.3 / +42
Back: Tenzo R Tracer V.1 Wheel - 18x8.5 / 5x114.3 / +48

I think it is beautiful Would look great on the S I'm still thinking what color for a black S2K Help PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Initially I was tempting to get Tenzo but didn't know how they fit on the S, they have some pretty nice designs. Like Jim said, the higher the offset such as +48 will have more space clearance between the wheel OUTER EDGE & the fender INNER EDGE (looking from above toward the ground). +42 offset meaning the outer edge of the tire is closer to the fender compare to +48. According to calculations with Tracers offsets, (+42 ET) - 0.7" extra thickness added to OEM wheel outer edge for front, and (+48 ET) - 0.9" for the rear. Try to add these extra thickness to your wheels when measure, then decide whether or not to lower the car.

Lower with only springs doesn't give you the option to adjust car height when buying new wheels, plus the labor $$$ spend (if not do it youself), or when you want to change them again. You can get fully adjustable coilovers kit for around $800-$900 and adjust however you want. You can install them with common mechanic tools (no special tools needed). I did it myself by googling how they are installed.

In my opinion, any of these colors are ok. Looks like you wanna go with all black, that red stripe would add a litte accent to the car, silver would give a nice contrast.

Also thanks to Jim from Tirerack for the great service getting my wheels fast. Too bad I already want to sell my set, sorry Jim
