Tolerances: Do you think that every S2000 that rolls off the S2000 is exactly the same? Not so. Tire width [for the same labeled size] varies a lot between manufacturers.
Variation between different manufacturers (your tire example) and variation among one manufacturer (S2000) are two different things. Like xviper stated, variation among one manufacturer should be insignificant to this topic of wheel fitting.

Haha, all this nit picking over widths and offsets and ride height and camber!! Let's just admit it folks, 98% of aftermarket wheel DO NOT work on this car!! All of these variables made me decide to just keep my OEM wheels. Also I love the stock 16s and I would like to use the money elsewhere on the car.

There is still plenty of choices within that 2%.

Name some 17" wheels that will work with OEM offsets?
I may be looking for some because my 17" Work emotions + 47 are ruining my fenders

Volks have many models of rims that are near perfect fitment for this car.

Here's one that's reasonably priced, fitment is pretty good. The fronts are only 7mm closer to the outer fender than OEM 17s and the rear is 9mm.
