I'm not sure I'd go that size in the rears.... but they should fit.

You shouldn't have any problems running that offset/width, but just make sure you roll your front fenders if you lower the car.... I don't think you will need to roll the rears.

Seems pretty small. Why 18x7.5 all around? atleast put a 18x8.5 in the rear. The S2000was designed w/ staggered wheel setup.

+45 will be fine just run a little more camber an stretch the tires just a tad.

7.5 non stagger is small for the rear. you'll be running 225s/235s all the way around which really is pointless if you are looking for better performance. at the minimum i would have an 8 inch wheel in the back meaning you should go for a 8 - 8.5 all around. 45 offset is on the edge in terms of a good fit. i run a 48 offset 8 inch front wheel with 255 tire and for safety i did a very light roll but i also track the car.

Just to clarify since I'm pretty new to S2k's, but you'd be comfortable with a 8 (F) 8.5 (R) and run 215 and 245's? Is .5" stagger setup "enough" or would you need to go for a full inch?

Love to hear some feedback.

Default Re: s2000 offset questions

heres a good guide

For the front:
Offsets lower than +43 are not recommended on the front because a very narrow tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+43 to +47 offset: 205 tires, 6.5" - 7.5" wide wheel
+48 to +52 offset: 215 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+53 to +57 offset: 225 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+58 to +62 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+63 or higher offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel

For the rear:
Offsets below 40 are not recommended for the rear because a tire narrower than the stock tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+40 to +44 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+45 to +49 offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 9.0" wide wheel
+50 to +54 offset: 255 tires, 8.0" - 9.5" wide wheel
+55 to +59 offset: 265 tires, 8.5" - 9.5" wide wheel
+60 to +64 offset: 275 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel
+65 or higher offset: 285 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel
