Default Enkei Racing S fitment

Hi guys need some help. I want to fit some Enkei Racing S on my AP1 S2000. The wheels are staggered 17x8JJ offset 35 on the front, 17x9JJ offset 38 on the rear, centre bore 60.1, tyre size are 215/40/17 all round.

At the moment the car is not lowered so will be fine but want to lower in the future. Will I need to roll all 4 arches once I go lower and if so by how much. Or will I get away with a bit of negative camber. Thanks in advance.

First off that's is a terrible tire choice. If you roll the fenders and run some camber you car easily fit a 215/45/17 front and a 245/40/17 rear and yes you MUST roll the fenders as just camber alone will not work. Secondly I would lower the car first and then buy the wheels. This allows you to get used to driving it lowered without worring about the wheels rubbing. You should also just get the fenders rolled at the same time. Having aggressive offsets at stock ride height looks very odd as the poke out to much. Finally that center bore will not work for our front hubs. The s2000 front hub is 70.1mm I think so a 60.1 won't fit. You would have to run a spacer or have the wheels bored out to fit.

No those won't work because the go in a wheel with a 70.1 hub bore to center them on a 60.1 hub. You are going the other way so you need to make the hub bore on the wheel larger or run a spacer which would make the offset even worse. You are looking at 2 degrees at least all around if not more and again the fenders must be rolled. Frankly I would skip these as there is just to many things that are wrong. Wrong hub bore, terrible tires, low offset. There is plenty of wheels that don't have these issues.
