Default Spoon SW388 Wheels

Will the 16x7 Spoon SW388 wheel with +35 offset fit the front of an S2000 correctly without any rubbing issues? I'm still using factory brakes, but the ride is lowered almost a couple inches.

if you are lowered a couple of inches (2"), it will rub with a +35 offset.

I dont understand how with a big brake kit +35 offset would fit but with OEM brakes it will rub? Does it even matter if the car is lowered or not? I got a deal going on for a set of SW388 but the fronts are +35 offset. Should I get the wheels or not?

Go with 16"x7 et+45 and 16"x8+45 ...... this will clear the spoon calipers.

+35 is too low for front

I know that the ideal setup for S2000 with Spoon SW388 should be +45 up front, but the guy selling the set has the 16x7 with +35 offset and 16x8 with +45 offset for rear. My main concern is will the +35 offset in the front still be driveable with around 2inches lowered?

+45mm up front will not clear Spoon calipers.

I'm running the +45 Regamasters and they are great. Prolene had a set of +35s and sold them before purchasing a set of +45s. I think he had rubbing problems (tire contact.) I don't know anyone happy with the +35 so be forwarned.
