Default Quick question about wheels offset '

I came across this set off wheel which has the offset as follows:
17x8J +47 F 17x9+47 R

Would it fit on our S2000 ?
Would it stick out ?

Thanks.
Vin.

you'd rub the rear like crazy if you lower it.

U planning to use a big brake kit? If not +50F and at least +63 rear should be good if you want to dump your car and not worry about rubbing.

If you tell me size what tires will be you be using. I can tell you if you wil need to do a rear fender roll.

Everbody said that my rears would rub like crazy despite a fender roll.
Well i proved them wrong
1.5inch drop
alignment specifications were readjusted back to stock after the lowering

19x9.5 +55 265/30-19

but it won't be too too bad, so you could get away with a little lowering.

However, this thread is in the wrong forum - moving to Tires and Wheel forum now.

From all the research I have done here is the max size tire you can run on the S2000 with the appropriate offsets if you can find them. This data is highly dependent on you particular suspension set up and may or may not work for you. This data helped me in deciding what was the absolute max tire size I can run based on the offsets available in the rims I liked before I made my final choice.
Instructions find the size tire you want to run front/rear then read the description to determine what offsets you can run and the consequences of the particular offsets.

FRONT
To run a
215
you would need to have a rim with an offset greater than or equal to +40
Anything less than that would require new wider fenders.

225
offset would need to be greater than or equal to+ 45
Anything less than that would require new wider fenders.

235
greater than or equal to +55
Anything less than that would require new wider fenders.

245
greater than or equal to +60
Anything less than that would require new wider fenders.

REAR

245
greater than or equal to +55
if you run a +45 a fender roll would be necessary
any offset less than 45 would require new wide fenders with a cut out of the factory wheel well. AKA (GT3 wide body kit)

255
greater than or equal to +60
if you run a +55 a fender roll would be necessary
any offset less than 55 would require new wide fenders with a cut out of the factory wheel well. AKA (GT3 wide body kit)

265
greater than or equal to +65
if you run a +60 or +55 a fender roll would be necessary
any offset less than 55 would require new wide fenders with a cut out of the factory wheel well. AKA (GT3 wide body kit)

275
greater than or equal to +70
if you run a +65 or +60 a fender roll would be necessary
any offset less than 60 would require new wide fenders with a cut out of the factory wheel well. AKA (GT3 wide body kit)


285
greater than or equal to +75
if you run a +65 or +70 a fender roll would be necessary
any offset less than 65 would require new wide fenders with a cut out of the factory wheel well. AKA (GT3 wide body kit)


Now I have seen a S2k with a 285 on the rear but is was a realy expensive rim set up +2500 per side

Well they (wheels boutique)screw it up again.
Not only did they send the wrong offset again they also put the wrong tire on the rim. There is no way a 19x8.5 +35 with a 235 is going to fit on the front. This is what it should have been 19x8.5 +45 with 225 which barley fits; did a test fit with another rim/tire combo with the same parameters.

So my suggestion do not buy anything from wheels boutique out of Mami!!!!!!!!!!
