2 are 17 x 9 w/ 255/40 ZR17

will these fit on a S2000?

i have the chance to get a good deal on a set of VOLKS but dont know if they would even fit.

If you like the 4x4 look, otherwise you need a 60+ for the rear and 55 for the front.

With that low of an offset and a 9" wide wheel and 255/40R17 they will stick out no matter what you do.
I would not recommend it. You may want to try 245/40R7 and roll the fender lip and run more negative camber.
