Default Would I be able to run these?

I plan on purchasing a s2k in the near near future. I would like to run 18x9 xxr 521 with a nice offset on the car, with possibly 255/40 In the rear and possibly 235/40 in the front. I DO NOT want to camber out my wheels and I DO not want to stretch my tire. I want a nice flush look especially after I drop it. Would the specs I have said be good? Or needs something else? Help would be good

Thanks Guys!

AND there is 2 other threads about these wheels currently active on this forum! For God's sake just read a little!

AND you didn't list the one measurement that actually matters the most and that is the offset. Knowing these sh!t wheels I will say no because they don't make them in offsets that work for the S2000.

Some people can't afford expensive wheels -and I personally like the look of the xxr 521

That's nice. You still have not listed the measurement for people to tell you yes or no. Also there are plenty of reasonable cost wheels that fit fine. Do more research and be patient instead of buying something cheap that can damage the fenders and hurts the performance of the car. Buying cheap wheels only to cause damage or learn they require hundreds of dollars on body work are no cheaper than buying slightly more expensive and won't require so much work. The xxr wheels look fine but the fact remains they are not sized for the s2000.

Well what are some other brands of wheels that look like the xxr 521 that are better quality, and for the "offset" thing -I'm not sure about the offset I would say +35 I want a nice deep look to them

Sorry but no I am not doing your job for you. A site that can help you is google.com. Also look in the gallery and look through the thousands of threads. Also read the fitment thread and learn what will actually fit on these cars because just guessing means you are very likely to end up with wheels that don't fit. I tried looking at xxr's website for their offsets and not only do them not list them they don't list the 521 in the size you referenced so you need to go and do some actual research and come back with all the wheel measurements.

I know I am being harsh but it is seriously getting ridiculous. The previous google search link I provided has 7400 results when I typed in xxr and s2ki. Further there are thousands of pictures on this site and literally thousands of options when it comes to wheels. Finally everyone is always fast point out how "its their car and they will do what they want to it" but then they want someone else to do all the research and work for them. People are happy to answer intelligent complete questions but once it has been asked 7400 times and answered that many if not more its just spam and annoying. I strongly suggest to take a lot of time to learn about the car you are potentially buying before you worry about wheels.
