Rota Torque comes in S2000 offset? The last time I inquired, they only had WRX applications. These are 17x7.5 I'm assuming.

Rota Torque doesn't come in s2k sizes/offsets. Look for another set of wheels

Yea, even the wheels that were supposed to fit the S2k (D2) dont fit. Pass.

You will probally need to machine the wheel down if the offset is less then 45. Getting spacer would make them stick even farther out.

Face it, they dont work. And secondly, why buy such a nice car and then go cheap and get **** wheels? If you cant afford to play, just stay stock.

So people who like Rota wheels and don't want to spend $1500 on wheels shouldn't modify any part of there S2000? Just because someone has an S2000 doesn't mean they want to spend thousands of dollars to make the car look alittle better.

Well, I ordered the wheels and they said the 17" will fit my car. I forgot what the size was but its between these 2.

17 x 8.0 +35/+48 4h/5h x 100/114.3

17 x 7.5 +45/+48 4h/5h x 100/114.3

That offset is pretty close... to the front. I don't know about running those all around...

the front will fit, the back i doubt it. the reason why i said bad choice is you just destroyed your handling. your car will be suspect to snap oversteer due to less grip in the rear

If you have an 04, remember that even the 8.0 wide will be narrower than OEM rears.

do you plan on tracking the car or beating the hell out of it during turns, or is this for a daily driver?

i have 17x7 with 48mm offset all around and staggered tires (205/50/17 and 225/45/17) and they fit perfectly fine...i have not had time to track my car nor do i drive it super aggressively through street corners, and if i ever do happen to take it to the track, the stock wheels will go back on.

plain and simple, if the wheels are for daily driving you'll be fine if you pick the right tires...talk to jim on s2ki as he was the one that recommended the tire size for me.

If I get good tires, would it be better? what kind of tires would be good for it?
