Thumbs down Blitz wheels

Im looking into purchasing Blitz type o3 rims for my 05 s2000 ap2. The rims are 18x8 +45 front and 18x9 +45 rear. Will these fit without any modification

it depends on what tire sizes you want to run. you can probably rock 215's and 235's with some camber and not have to worry about rolling your fenders.

I would get it done by a professional or someone that has done it before. Me fenders were rolled by a local member (spunkysandoval) who has done countless s2000s and they cam out great. From what I hear body shops can charge anywhere from $200-$1,000 for the procedure depending on how good they are and the type of work you want done.

I would say that with those sizes and offsets you would have to roll the fender lips and still stay narrow with the tires.

I love the look of the type o3 but dont want to run narrow tires. I dont know if they would clear the calipers also.

I'm running on 17x9 +40 245 rear, standard camber, 1" dropped all around , no problem, only rub on a big dip, all depend on your drop.
