Default Custom Fitted Wheel Setup Question

This is for looks only. Absolutely no track or even hard street driving. OEM's will be used for that. The setup I would like to create is as follows.

17x7 Front +60 offset with center bore 70 possible hubcentric adapter to fit 64? H&R 5mm spacer if needed...

17x7 Rear +60 offset with center bore 70.

Tires front 205/45/17

Tires Rear 225/45/17

Is this at all possible even though it is apparently not the opptimal setup for any s2000 used for any purpose?

I am sure it will fit but I am not sure why you would want such a narrow wheel and tire on the rear. Also if you are going to do a custom wheel why would you need to run a spacer?

May I ask what aftermarket 17x7 wheels have an offset of +60mm
Or is that the "custom" part?

For OEM look plan is to use 17x7 from DC5 Type-R. They are +60 I really like to keep my car in honda only fashion, and they are my favorite wheels produced for honda.

Really? Is the stock offset not +55 up front and +63 in the rear? With a 5mm spacer in the front to compensate for the 5mm difference and of course the DC5 wheel being +60 will actually be pushed to the edge a bit in the rear. I am not understanding how they would not sit almost flush if not a bit over in the rear with this setup?

5mm is not a whole lot of difference... its about 1/5th of an inch. It will NOT push it towards the fender.. the stock ap1 wheel is 16x7.5 +65 which means the stock s2000 wheels will still have +12.5mm over your DC5 wheels.
