Default N00b looking for that "stance"

I'm on the wheel hunt now.

But I'm so confused I dont know what I'm doing.

I dont understand what I need but I know what I want!

I want a stanced look with wide rears but dont know what I need to look for or do.

So far all I've managed is ebaying "s2000 alloy wheels" and picking some lol

Basically I want to know what sizes/specs I need to order when shopping for the perfect rim.

this is the sort of thing I'm talking about





But like I said I dont know what I need to look for when shopping - I'm going to be running coil overs and adjustable arms

I can get a set of 30mm spacers if these will come in handy and finally I know I'll need to get my arches rolled also..

Help

These are some s2000 ones I like

Sounds like you want something around 17 x 9.5 +35 or so...with a 245 tire, fender roll, and some negative camber

Tire rack wont help you choose wheels. They only do it by make/model. That's one of the things that sucks about them. They only show you wheels that "fit". I guess that is a big clue. I would do more research. Check out the flush/stance threads. There are a lot of the them. Sorting though them will be a hassle but you can find a lot of info there. Like clarskter009 said your looking a low offset wheels sub +40 offset, stretched tires (depending on height and fender work)and a lot of negative camber. Not my cup of tee. Try also the meaty tires Non-Staggered thread too.
