Default I need help with my wheel choice

Ok so i got my mind set on some wheels that are called "lenso samurai dr-1" wheels. Im wanting that fat look on my car. Yes i want staggered, but one thing i cant get is the offset on deep dished wheels? I want a a nice 4" deep dish on the rear and about a 2" on the front. Does a higher offset make a smaller deep dish? And if there is any recommendations i also want to align the rim to the body. Can anyone please help? Much appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this. (im a wheel virgin)

I cannot find any sizing info on these wheels, so I cannot say whether or not what you are after is possible. I will only say that fitting 3" lips on the s2k is a challenge. Where do you intend on buying wheels from?

All 17" rims are just $270ea!
All 18" rims are just $290ea!

Here is a list of the sizes/offset/colours available.

17 x 8 w/ +33 in Silver or Black
17 x 9 w/ +43 in Silver or Black
17 x 10 w/ +15 in Silver or Black

18 x 9 w/ +15 in Black Only
18 x 10 w/ +22 in Black or White
18 x 10 w/ -1 in Black Only

I saw that on another forum and ive been seeing some on ebay too but before i get some i wanna know the exact offset to make it fit. Thanks for replying to my post i really appreciate ur time

Realistically, the only size that will fit from that list is 9" +43. Work XD9 probably has the biggest lip that I have seen in common S2000 fitment.

Even this size will require fender rolling. This is the wrong car for a low offset look. Should have gone with a 350z.

How much fender work do you want to do? Just a basic roll or a pull/flare/repaint?

How much tire stretch? Do you consider a 225 tire width on a 10" wheel acceptable?

How much negative camber? Do you think -5 is perfect or insane?
