thats some low offset on the vsxx for a s2k!
they both look sick, its a personal choice really. i like them both a lot
with rolled fenders, slightly smaller tires and spacers i think the offset wont be too bad.
Input anyone? im leaning more towards the vs-xx for myself.

spacers? No that would only make the offsets lower... You may wanna try to find a different set of VS-XX's there are usually several sets floating around the internet.

Those would require quite a bit of work to make fit, for sure would need pulled fenders all around

i was thinking the spacers pushed the wheel away from the hub which would add to the offset but now i understand what u mean
how hard would it be to put those wheels on and fit besides intensive pulling?

not exactly sure, you would need a major pull, run quite a bit of camber, and probably go with conservative tires like stock size 215-245, or even narrower.... But how much of each would be determined only after you got the wheels/tires since I have never run anything close to that, maybe someone who has can help.

Do a search for 17x8 +22 17x9+22 and see if you come up with results, those are a more popular size so you may

+35 is perfect imo, though that would require a little pulling + camber. There is a set of 18s for sale on here 18x8/9 +38
