i was running that offset in the 17" size...... i dont think the 18's are offered in that offset.......

at least according to this chart.....


http://www.upgrademotoring.com...i.htm

 

just checked the works site...

18x7.5 +48
18x8.5 +43 (you'll have to run really narrow tires or not drop the car)

 

The CR Kai's don't really have the crazy high offsets the S2k demands for clearance. Work recommends running a 215/40 up front and a 235/35 in the rear for 7.5's and 8.5's respectively.

actually... they offer a copule of differnt varriations of offsets that will work perfectly fine on an S2000......

i'm running 17x7 +42 and 17x8 +47 with 215/245 and i'm slammed and i have absolutely no rubbing issues...... also keep in mind i could run 255's in the rear if i just rolled my fenders.....

most others running emotion cr's are running 17x7 +47 and 17x8 +47 with no issues either running 225/245's.... (however not as slammed as i am)....

on another note if you're not slammed and you have your front fenders rolled, you'd be able to run the 17x7 +36 to clear bbks

as for the 18's you're quite limited.....

 

Agreed...I was speaking to 18" wheel fitment specifically.

 

so i never really got a strait answer will these fit or no?

I had those in gunmetal on my car with the following setup lowered on B&G (~1inch) springs

18x7.5 +48 225/40/18
18x8.5 +43 245/35/18


Sorry that's the best picture I had of them, no rubbing issues though.
