Nice, another alternative, just before I was thinking of getting another set of Nurburgrings.

I just wish Tire Rack carried the Nurburgrings and other TSW wheels.

I was leaning towards the Gunmetal for my BB but now that I have seen more bronze pics, I actually like the bronze more! Can anyone confirm if the spoon calipers will fit without spacers? Maybe apply the spoon caliper template and take a pic? Since these will be track tires, my choices are Toyo R888 or Nitto NT01. Any recommendations? Size will be 235/40/17 and 255/40/17. My goal is to eventually run 255/40/17 non staggered as I get more seat time and more suspension changes. Car is stock now. My preference is to not alter the stock fenders but I know there may be some rubbing issues in the front.

Can anyone confirm if their TSW wheels came with proper hub centric rings? Are they plastic or aluminum?
Can anyone confirm the following I.D. and O.D. of the rings?

Honda S2000: 73.1mm/70.0mm (Front), 73.1mm/64.0mm (Rear)

Mine came with 2 plastic and 2 aluminum rings. Both fit snug in the rim and around the hub.

+1 I'm looking to fit a 275/35/18 race tire all around on my S2k. Anyone try a 275/40/17 all around either? These wheels look like an inexpensive and light option.

I have purchased a set of the 17x7.5 +45 and am waiting for the 17x9 +63 to come back into stock. I am trying to run this setup through the offset calculator but it is not quite making since to me. I am completely stock in suspension with no plans to lower. I am getting that I should be running a 205 on the front and 275 on the back? I really don't think this is correct but I really do not know and was hoping for some guidance. I would prefer not to mod fenders but of course if I need to for the sake of the car and the balance I will. I was thinking a 225, 265 setup would be ideal please chime in and let me know what you all think.

I'm assuming you read this thread (https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/342...fitment-guide/) and that's where you got your fitment sizes from. Without modifying the fenders this seems to be the general consensus on what will fit on a stock ride height s2000. The 225 on the front will most likely rub IMO. If my math is correct you're decreasing the offset by 10mm on the front with these rims, thus pushing the wheel 10mm more away from the engine bay than stock. Then you're getting 10mm wider tires on the front. Split the tire size difference down the middle and add it to the offset and you're essentially adding 15mm to the width of the front tire.

As far as the rear goes that 265 should be fine. Anything smaller than the max specs taking from the above article will work. Just don't go too small. I personally got the 7.5 w/ a 225 and 9 with a 255, and rolled my fenders for peace of mind.

225/45 and 255/40 is what you want for the staggered set.
