Default Advice on size

Hey every1..

I just wanted some input from every1 on this board about wheel size. My sponsor is helping me out with wheels on my daily driver. I am picking up 4 Bronze Volk TE37 for $1100. I can stick with 16s or 17s. I am thinking 17s because its on my daily driver. What would be a good width and offset for a s2000? I want to stagger the wheels also.. I was thinking 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the rear... but still unsure of the offset.. I dont plan to go wide body.. just maybe lower the car about 1.5". i just want the wheels to be flush with the body.. any advice would be great. thanks guys

Roger

You have to find out what offset is available for the car. The 17X7 and 17X8 would work fine with around 50mm fornt and 55 to 60mm rear.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

+40 and +45 aren't even close to what Jim suggested? You will rub lowered with that front offset even not lowered without some fender rolling and camber and maybe some luck. On the rear 245 will be pushing it as well.

Check out the wheel fitment guide to get an idea of what will work
