judging by Enkei's chart on their website it looks like only the 17's will fit.......

http://www.enkei.com/RacingSeriesSpecs/RPF1.html

17x7.5 48 front

17x8 45 rear

edit: looking at that pic, the front fender looks rolled

Check that out. It's 17x9 +45 all the way around. I'd like to see those wheels in a non-fender rolling size.

thats cause they are cheap... you can get a set of 4 for under a grand... great for track wheels tho. they are really light... around 13lbs each for the 17's..

I think the wheels look great. My S2000 is black so I'm thinking the gold ones will look crazy.

Why itsn't that safe? I now his offset is like +45 with 17x9, but what about a different setup like 16x7 with an offset of 43.

because you will have a fender crisis if your low and they hit the wells looking like that...

the +43's will work...

No offense, but you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Why would anyone in their right mind put 16x7 wheels on a S2K and consider it an upgrade?

nothin wrong with em being cheap,

**** paying high $$$ for "blingy" crazy looking shiny 8piece wheels,
rivets everywhere.. polished this and that, wierd spoke designs..

screw that,
in my opinion, function is the fashion,
simple wheels with aggressive dimensions, sticky tires,
that looks good cuz you know it performs good

i think franks issue is more on the fact that the fender could be damaged.. (which is really easy to do..) ... and the fact that the tire could get shredded by the edge of the fender (which would be hard to do)

I guess no one realizes the fenders are flared from the pic?
