Default need help with staggered rims

Hey,

im a young lady all the way in jamaica
and i just bought my 2006 s2000, its on its way from miami.

and im realizing that most of the s2ks dont have on visibly staggered rims.
i've always owned a RWD car, and there is one thing that a rwd must have
is the Bigger back lip.

i've been having SOOOOOOO much difficulty finding rims that can fit the s2k
with this stagger.

i definaltey am getting 19' wheels, was looking to put 215 and 255 tires in the back.

i have a budget for about 3k, but if i see something a bit more and i really like it
i will consider.

Can you guys PLEASE HELP!!!

I also thinking about 19's what other wheels in staggered form 19 inch wheels are
there?

Are there any pics of s2k's with the Superleggera III?

What would be a ideal fitment setup?

19x8.5 Front
19x9's rear?

what about tyres?

yeh so would I.
cause the car is already black and yello...

its jsut because the rim is black... 19s are going to look small.
i wanted them in 20s but they dont come in that size

No, if it were a Charger or 300, the minimum would be 22s if you want to look decent and 24s if you are ambitious.
I would love to see how your rim situation turned out, Dolley.
