Default Nismo LMGT4 fitment?

Hello all,
I'm buying an S2000 in about 12 hours and I've been lurking on the forums for a while now while I shopped around for a suitable AP1. I've got the Nismo LMGT4's (18x8.5 +25 & 18x9.5 +30)on my Nissan 240sx and realize that the offset is completely unsuitable for the S2000.

I know with enough time & money anything is possible; however, the reason I am buying the S2000 (and selling my S14) is I don't have time for projects at this point in my life (queue violins here). For the most part this will remain a relatively stock DD for me that will only get to the track at most 2 or 3 times a year.

I'm not averse to rolling the rears but I don't really want to change the body up from stock "much" nor am I eager to run ridiculously negative camber. If possible I could see tracking down some flares and giving those a go but that's about it.

I realize I might just have to let my LMGT4's go but it seem's like a real shame for me as they're beautiful & for really light for their size. I searched and found some post's of people running rota knockoffs of the LMGT4 but didn't find anyone who actually pulled it off.

Thanks in advance for any help!

J's front fenders and J's/ASM rear overfenders.

If you don't want to do that, sell the GT4's, IMO.

I always wished that Rays would've released these as a non-Nismo-branded wheel and think they look better than most of the mainstream Volks.

Thanks for the response(s) I've got the car now and while I wouldn't mind kitting up the car I'd rather not as I bought this car with the intention to keep it relatively stock. I hate to part ways with my LMGT4 but it just doesn't look practical.

I know it's played out but I'll probably go with some black RPF1's and call it a day.

In regards to the Ray's comment, I'm with you. I own two set's of Ray's wheels my LMGT4's were my DD and I've got a set of classic Ray's 16" that are 4 & 5 lug that I bought when I was converting my car from 4 to 5 lug and had to deal with brake caliper clearance.
