^^^ They wont fit...... without Fender work, Negative camber, stretched tires... or a combination of those.

Please don't stance your S2K and dump it to the floor and proceed to destroy the undercarriage and suspension....

LOL no i am not trying to go for hellaflush look with the car, all 4 fenders are rolled already and lowered on just skunk2 springs for now. So what offset would make the wheels sit sort nice and flush without alot of negative camber?

At similar width rims +40 to +50 range. More then +45 if you want to go 10” rim or wider. You can be more aggressive in back then you can be up front without giving up functionality. For example, I wouldn’t choose to run a 9.5 +40 up front, Id choose a +50. But +40 for the back would be acceptable maximum with rolled fenders and bumper tab relocated. If your willing to pull fenders then another 5-10mm can be had, and or less camber could be utilized. I consider -3 camber or less, appropriate for performance or DD. Anymore more then that and your running into compromises such as needing to flip tires, less braking and strait line traction and handling corks. These guys that are running –4 and higher camber to make wheels fit are beyond function. Unfortunate there are not a ton of wheel choices in higher offsets and wider rims, so take your time and look hard.
