Default Offset & Tyres Questions

Will 17x8 +45 and 17x8.5 +40 fit s2000 w/o any rubbing issues?

If there won't be any issue, what tyre size should I fit in those rims

Thanks

Erik

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm just asking because I can get these set of rims for cheap although the offset might not be right for the car.

roll your fenders and run 215/245 tires depending how low you are you shouldn't rub if it does just dial in some camber

if you dont roll the rear fenders you might still rub on large bumps/dips. However im not sure if you will at stock height. if you plan to lower the car ever, you should definitely roll at least the rears.

The guide above is for ideal fitment with no necessary alterations to fenders and/or camber. I believe the OP will be fine running those wheels with a 215/245 set up on stock height.

That's the reason why I haven't done my wheel project yet. Gotta get a drop first and foremost!
