sorry but i still dont understand this "offset"

 

2. What is this offset business?

The offset is the distance from the wheel centerline (midway between the front and back of the wheel) to the mounting face of the wheel that contacts the hub of the vehicle. The S2000 requires high positive offsets. A positive offsets indicates that the mounting surface of the wheel is closer to the front of the wheel than the back. This offset is expressed in millimeters, and is seen as numbers such as "+40" or "et40."

Since the offset is measured from the wheel centerline, and not the outside edge, the required wheel offset depends on the width of the wheel and tire.

 

okay think of it like this, a low offset such as +12 will stick out further than a +40, the S uses high offsets, most people run 9+63 rear.

 

I have a 17"x8" rear set up with +42 offset and I am only lowered about an inch and I am running a custom alingment to not rub

 

so what tire work with this set or is it even worth buying. I can roll the fenders if thats the case and if the 92 Toyota Supra's uses the same bolt patern

17 X 8, ET 36 and Rear 17 X 9, ET 33

and so the highter the # the less it sticks out??

 

17x9 +33? look into buying a new fender...

but to answer the thread topic: YES all the sizes specified are quite aggressive and would take some work to make it fit correctly without rubbing (unless you arent lowered)...

you could opt with these options to maybe have them fit...
1.) roll/flare the fenders
2.) relocate the bumper tabs
3.) lots of negative camber
4.) run super duper stretched tires
5.) do not slam it and drive it like a 4x4

 

yes, i do not recommend that offset
