Default Offset questions

I've read the sticky, but it doesn't answer my specific questions...i've also searched around and i couldn't find any specific answers about this

i just got an 05 s2k and i have a set of 18s that i had on my rsx...they are 18x7.5 with a +43 offset...can anyone tell me if these will fit/what the biggest tire size is that i will be able to fit on the front and rear with this offset...the car will be lowered sometime in the near future as well

will these wheels work well with this car with their offset?

thanks in advance

The sticky DOES answer all your questions. Did you read the whole thing? The last few paragraphs address stagger.

The short answer:
Those wheels are not a good choice. The offsets are too low, and they are not staggered. The S2000 should have a wider tire on the rear than on the front. You can run two different width tires on those wheels, but that is not prudent. Since the offsets are too low, you'll have to run a narrow tire to prevent rubbing.

Considering you'll have to run narrow tires and you'll have rear wheels a full ONE INCH narrower than stock on the rear of a rear wheel drive car, is it worth it?

(No)

Cheers.

I continue to be amazed at just how lazy some people are that they can
