Need help with picking the right size rims
Hey all.
I have been dreaming about Volk TE37s my whole life and thought I'd look into getting a set for the car, I can't use the ones that are on the car now because they are way bigger then stock rims/tires (my car is imported and I'm not allowed having something bigger then stock size). So i was wondering if someone could help me find the rims in the list that are closest to the size of the stock wheels. I think it's only the width of the tires I cant go over 205/225. I think 17 Inch is the size that would look nicest on the car.
here the page I was thinking to order from, if anyone have a better site I would gladly order from that

looking at the sizes on the website you gave and assuming you go with 205/225 tires you probably want 17x7.5 and 17x8.5. you will have a slightly stretched tire and the stretch will match front to back. as far as offset, it depends on how you want them to fit. assuming you are stock height with no rolled fenders? probably want the +48 in front and +50 in the rear for safety. otherwise you might need a little roll with the lower offsets and/or lowered car.

Thanks for the help so far ^^
Not only tires the whole car has to be stock
So If i were to order just the rims what size would you recommend? I can get a set of good tires here in Norway at a tire shop.
Not only tires the whole car has to be stock
well, i agree that 17s look the best on an S2000. and if you just want easy fitment, no fender work, and don't care about being flush...
then i'd get these for the front:

Ive been thinking and those rims are to expensive in the end to get so I'm thinking of these Work Emotion XD-9's which is a bit cheaper but still in the same category of rims I want. Would these fit without doing any modification to the car? and what offset should i pick?
