They have tehm in 48 mm offset at rear. Would it fit properly?
205/55 16 front and 225/45 17 rear.</TD></TR></TABLE>
yes it matters..... each wheel company is different as to which offset will fit the s2k....
for example, i had 17*7 front 17*8 rear work emotions, 47 offset front and rear.......
also, that rear tire size is to narrow......
you should be able to run a 245 *40 rear which is what the 04- come with.....

Re: offset for wheels???? please help (cmdr430)
I have a similar question so I'm not going to start a new topic. I going to buy some Advan RGII's F-17x7.5 and R17x8.5. What offset will I need, and what tire sizes should I run? I want the widest possible tires without rubbing and maintaining safety.
F-225/45/17 ???
R-255/45/17 ???

48 front offset
50 rear offset
you will probably get some rubbing in the rear w/ that size tire....
i had 255 40 on mine and it rubbed on larger bumps....
are you lowered? how much?

Re: offset for wheels???? please help (cmdr430)
I'm thinking with those offsets cmdr430 is right and you'd want to run a 255/40 in the rear.
Its a shame that more companies don't make wheels in offsets that are more optimal for this car. I love my 9" wide rears but I'm pretty much stuck with my CE28N's unless I want to go to a two piece wheel like a Work Meister.

Re: offset for wheels???? please help (cmdr430)
I didn't think the type of wheel really matters.
If you have a 17x8 +55 offset in a Work Emotions wheel, it will be the same size & fitting as a 17x8 +55 in a SSR Comp wheel. The type of wheel shouldn't matter, its only the specs. Or am I misunderstanding something?

I ordered some Espelir springs. I think its a 20/30 mm drop. So would you recommend a 245/45 rear tire?
I called gruppe-s and they said the Advan RGII's for the S2K were a +45 for 17x7.5 front and +50 for 17x8.5 rear.
