Default Wheel option

Looking at buying a set of Konig Lightning 18X9.5 45GBL with 265/35 for rear and 18X8 35GBL with 225/40 for rear. My question is will this wheel and tire package fit correctly? Is it the right offset? New to the whole s2000 thing. Thanks in advance

That should fit, but it is a little bit aggressive. Is that what you want? You will def have to roll the fenders depending on your height.

I think unless you're at stock height, and similar oem offsets you're going to need to roll your fenders / bumper tabs / fender lining if you're doing 18"s. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Oh, and you'll definitely need to run some negative camber

I am still looking for wheels. I guess my question would be what is a good wheel and tire option if I cant go with 18in then i wont. I would rather not roll the fenders or run any type of camber. I am at stock height right now but plan on getting something adjustable.

First off is it an ap1 or ap2? Also, if you're planning on lowering it camber is going to be necessary. I believe US spec is F:0 R:-1. UK OEM spec is F:-1 and R:-2. I'm running oem wheels w/ skunk2 springs and I can't go any HIGHER than -2.8 in the rear

You should review that article / guide.

One thing to note, the ap1 oem rear tires aren't actually real 225's. They are sort of mislabeled. You're gonna wanna a run a 245 in the rear if it's not the OEM tire. Past what I've said already, I'm really of no use so hopefully someone else can chime in
