First off you haven't told us the size. We need to know the width and offset. Second 19's were a terrible idea. They are heavier, tires cost more and generally look to big for the s2000. There really is no benefit to running 19's over 18's. You should have asked before buying them.

Other that proportionally looking too big for the car, you run into a tire sidewall issue. For example, 19's are very common on say a 350Z but the stock rear tire diameter is almost 2" larger than the S2000. You are going to run into all wheel and almost no tire. In order to keep stock diameter, you would be looking at 225/35 front and 255/30 rear for a typical staggered setup.

You should sell those wheels and pick up a set of 17's. 18's will work, but I personally think they look a little big for our cars.
A little research before buying wheels would have been a good choice. You just bought a very expensive (and awesome) set of wheels that wont really fit an S2000.
