Default Concave Wheels

Im looking to purchase a set of newer wheels for my s2000. I like the concave look (vossen's on my g37). Im looking to put some on a 2000 s2k. I know rota and xxr make them in a cheaper knockoff look of the volks. What sizes should i get if my car is not dropped (stock suspension). Im thinking of keeping it stock or will this look lame. I dont want to roll the fenders at anypoint so will this work?

NO. It won't work and will look very very odd. The wheels will be pushed out to much and stick out from the fenders if you stay at stock ride hieght. Also there is still the danger of damaging your fenders should you bottom out with agressive wheels like that. Pretty much every concave wheel I have ever seen is +35 or lower on the offer with is an inch different from stock. Please do some reseach and look at other peoples set ups. Basically any wheels that are more agressive than stock need a fender roll and any concave wheel needs alot more than just a fender roll to look decent.

There is arguements on both sides. If you want the car to feel like stock then go with staggered sizes like a 17x8 front and a 17x9 rear. This gives you a ton of tire choices and is only alittle wider than stock. If you get ones with offsets higher than +48 you won't have they sticking out and looking odd plus if you decide to lower you will have fewer clearance issues. Just look in the fitment thread in the sitckies and go off of that. There is a set of volks here in phoenix that are oem fitment and would not require any fender mods at all. They aren't cheap though.

There you go.
