Default XXR 527 Fitment - Help a noob out!

Hey guys, so I just got out of the Subaru scene and bought an AP2 2004 GPW S2000 two months ago and couldn't be happier with the decision I made. Already put 7,000+ miles on it and I am mind blown by how much better it drives than my WRX. Anyway, I live in a very small town and not a single person under the age of 60 owns an S2000. And that's why I am here asking questions.

I'm pretty set on purchasing XXR 527's, but I am having a hard time figuring out the right fitment, I want to be pretty low and have a bit of aggressive look. My car is currently on stock suspension but I'm planning on BC coilovers and lowering it ASAP. But money is tight right now and wheels are much needed! I found this killer deal on eBay - Wheels, Tires, and Balance for $1,025 ( including shipping ) wheels are brand new and come in gold. Which would look amazing with GPW imo. I'm down to get my fenders rolled, but don't want to go all crazy about it. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know a lot of people are against the whole "stanced" look. I get that, but each to his own. Please have some respect.

Wheel Sizes Offered:

Offset: Multiple Offsets
Bolt Pattern: 5X100 / 5X114.3
Width: 18x8.75 / 18x9.75

Tire Sizes Offered:

215/40/18 or 225/40/18

NEED to know the Offsets, You cannot ask a fitment question without knowing the wheel offset you would be running. It is the most important factor.

Yup, we need offsets. And I'd go with at least 245's for tires, stretched tires are lame.

According to ebay post the offset is +20. You're probably gonna need more than just a fender roll depending how low you go. GL.

Checklist
1. Barely any posts
2. Has picture from the hellaflush thread of a "mad tite sick hellaflush s2k"
3. Wants XXR wheels that have had more threads made about them than any other wheel ever.
Conclusion person did not read a single thing or do any research.

There is a REASON this is stickied to the top of this forum. READ IT! While I will be the first person to say the fitment outlined in the faq is a little conservative you are out of your mind if you think those wheels will fit without "going crazy" with your fenders. Stop just looking at pictures in the hellaflush thread and really ask the people in there what the have had to do to get their wheels to fit. Talk to people like Danio. He has had to fix his fenders numerous times. If you just put these on you run serious risk of damage to all of your fenders.

Do some reading and actually ask people questions before you ruin your car.
