Default Can I use 4 rims of the same size?

I noticed alot of good deals on ebay for rims for our cars, but aren't our rear tires slightly wider than our fronts? All the rims on ebay for our cars are the same size all around. Can I use the same size rims all around as long as my rear tires are slightly wider? Or will slightly wider tires fit on rear rims that are the same size as my front rims? Or is it mandatory my rear rims be wider than my fronts? My car is stock and I wanna upgrade to 17 or 18's! If I do, would I need to upgrade/change any other part of my suspension/etc. to upgrade to bigger rims? I know these may be stupid questions, but please bare with me. New at this wheel stuff. Thanks

You can run non staggered if the offsets are correct. Make sure they fit the hubs cuase they hubs are dif size front to rear.

As long as the Offset is right you would not have to do anything else. If the offset is too low and the wheel is as wide as stock or wider you may need an aggressive alignment or even may have to pull/flare the fenders.

post up what rims you want, or a link and ill let you know if they make the size that would fit an s2000, i suggest to stay staggered because the car will act differently with a non staggered set up (oversteer)

Suggest you spend just a little time reading the 'Stickies' at the top of this forum, there is a lot of good info there, also, the Tire Rack

you can use the same size wheel but like others have said that you should go with staggered wheels. I suggest that if you do use the same size wheel that you stagger the tire sizes instead.
