Hi guys just bought my s2000 and I have a set of rpf1 17x9 +35 from my civic that I want to put on the s2000 and I'm wondering if anyone ever tried this setup?
Right now it's on stock height but I'm planning on lowering it soon.
Thank you

 

Jack up the car and try them!

It seems like the offset could be a problem..

 

Not a good fit. You can MAKE them work with a combination of stretched tires, negative camber, and rolled fenders. Considering how cheap and common this wheel is, I'd highly recommend selling them and getting +45 instead. That isn't a knock on the wheel either, currently running a set myself. +35 would stick out additional 10mm compared to this:

 

I would not run them. I have rpf1 in 17x9+45 with a 255/40/17 in the front are in my opinion they are too aggressive. I'm all about function and they simply stick out too much for stock front fenders that are rolled flat. I had to run -2.5 camber in the front to just barely clear so that it does not rub when hitting big bumps and dips on the road. The real problems is going up driveways. If the wheel is turned a lot and you try to go up a drive way it will murder the fenders. I already cracked my passenger stock fender because of this and your rims will even stick out another 10mm more than mine. You can make them work is you want to run over -3 degrees of camber and stretch super narrow 215 tires on the rims but that would just ruin the car and would just be stupid.

 

Gotcha, thx guys I'll just go head and sell them

 

what if i run 17x9 +45 with 225/45 tires stock height in the front of the car, would that still rub the fender lining ?

 

You would still need to roll the fenders with 17x9 +45. At stock height it may never rub but there is still a chance. It will also look terrible.
