Has anyone bought these rims?

Ebay - Axis Milano

According to the auction they will fit an s2000 perfectly.

But the numbers seems to big.
19X8.5, offset et45
19x9.5, offset et45

Yes you can put them on the S2000, but you'll either have to run spacers or really fat tires in the back for those offsets. Then again, with the low offset wide wheels, you'll probably rub.

umm... spacers will move the wheel out more. You're gonna have to shim the wheel or run really THIN tires.

Spacers will lower the offset- and those are already too low.

But I could have it mixed up- anyone else?

On another note, I really like those wheels. You can probrably run 225 tires on the 19x8.5 +45 all around- that'll work. But of course, people around here are gonna tell you its going to kill your handling...yup, pretty much.

He either has to use bigger tires or spacers in the back, or really narrow tires in the front. Going with plan A will guarantee rubbage, plan B will not only look funny, but it is not a good idea to run thin tires on such wide wheels.

Either way it is not a good idea.

Yup, handling is going to suffer big time by running 225's tires all around.

With those heavy wheels, steering response will be greatly retarded.

You'll also loose an equivalent of 10 - 15 hp on acceleration.

The eBay seller is a dumbass and a lier.
