hahaha... slight pull. Won't happen.

Instead, take a hatchet and start chopping away at your fenders. When they are sufficiently mauled and no fender is left anywhere near the tire, you can now safely run these wheels with associated super-skinny, low performance tires.

Welcome to s2ki

Those offsets are BRUTAL and not s2000 friendly. The s2000 is not like the Z, Evo, STi etc - The factory offsets are high. When you want to go wide wheels, most people will go with offsets that are 50+ to clear fenders and avoid rubbing etc. Now, this is what the competitive guys do, they run 17x9.5 with 255 tires on them and run a +63 offset.

These wheels have a low offset, probably very concaved and look good, but not designed for the s2000 at all. I think you would have to do much wider fenders in front and rear, lots of camber etc if you want to run 255/275 tires which these wheels are designed for.

Hope this helps!

I concur with the findings...find higher offset wheels.
