Default Help a noob s2k with wheels please!

Hey guys i just bought an s2000 and it is stock as F**K. Im thinking of getting Ce28 x2 17x8 +51 Front x2 17x9 +63 Rear. Would it fit onto my s2k with stock guards and fenders?

OTherwise i was going to get rpf1 17x8 +45 17x9 +45. Im just curious that would it rub at all without rolling as i prefer to keep the guards unrolled. Please help me out (

Also what sort of tyres should i run? Sorry for asking too much ><

The ce28s would fit way better then the rpf1s but if you are at stock height both should fit no problem I believe.

Volks all the way. I assume you are going to lower the car since you described its current state as "stock as f***" so the Volks will fit without a fender roll where the RPF1's will require a fender roll. The Volks are a higher quality wheel, stronger etc as well so they are a clear choice.

Volks will easily fit with no work, plus ce28 is a nicer looking wheel than rpf1.
Go with 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 tires. Type is based on your needs. Dunlop ZII is a great tire, so is re11 and a few others. But if you daily it and commute a lot, or have to drive in the rain, something like Continental DW or BFG comp 2 may be a better option. We would need more details on usage of car to give an appropriate recommendation.

Thanks for the reply guys. I just daily my car never plan on taking it to track. What do you think of such offset for ce28? 17x8 +51 Front x2 17x9 +63 Rear
The set of ces28 comes with 235/45/17 rear and 225/45/17 front. Should i get it ? i heard people say offset is too high will make the car look shit thats why (

Well, you can't have it both ways. Either roll your fenders and run the more aggressive wheels or keep a stock like fitment. 225/45 is good for the front, 235/45 is bad for the rear. Get a 255/40 instead.

ive changed my mind and decided to roll all 4 fenders. Hopefully they wont f@#k it up and im gonna get rpf1 17x8 and 17x9 +45 for sure now as it is more affordable compare to ce28. tyre wise should i get 225/45 front and 255/45 rear?

Who are these people? Do you have stance friends? Those are literally perfect offsets for the car. The stock offsets are actually a bit higher then those. All you would need to do is change rear tire to 255

yeah my mates they emphasize a lot on concave and how having lower offset is much better but i was researching on the internet and the offset for s2k is usually very high.
So for your suggestion, you think if i get the ce28 with such offset i stated the front will fit and the rear just have to change to 255 and it will sit nicely without guard rolling? Would it rub in anyway
