they will look retarded on the S2k because of the offset. you'll have to roll the heck out of your fenders for those plus get a staggered set of wheels. it didn't come staggered from the factory for nothing

 

don't know the wheels but found this pic..

not exactly the same wheel but i dont think they look "retarded"



edit: didn't read the first paragraph, thought op was just asking what wheels they were.. ma bad

 

lets see pictures of your s2k with those wheels and offset.

 

there are plenty of people running less than +40 offset these days. you'll probably need to do some fender modifications. but why in the world would you want to run 8.0 all around. not even worth it.

also, please don't compare Work wheels with Motegi. i'd say keep your stock wheels and save for better wheels. don't settle for those wheels just b/c you can save a buck. motegi is on par with tenzo, konig, etc.

Anything passed a 225 tire you will have to roll, that is if you are dropped.

 

WRONG!! I have a 255 in the rear WITHOUT a roll and I do not rub, 225 in the front WITHOUT a roll and do not rub. An 8 inch wide wheel with a 40 offset is lower than recommended but it is not anywhere near an aggressive fitment, especially in the rear

 

And I'm on espilers

 

they are ugly but its your money so enjoy

 

^x2

 

I meant anything passed a 225 in the front will rub.

 

Depends on the offset, you can't say it won't rub........

I have 215 in the front and 255 in the rear and rub if I'm lowered at all. I rub in the rear at stock height (+35f/+38r)

 

My Volks are 38 in rear and i rub stock height also!

 

a square setup will inevitably over steer and given the small amount of lateral sidewall compliance on an 18 its a recipe for death - not to mention sucky ride qaulity.

If your point is just looks there is all kinds of options but if you plan to drive it 215/245 7.5/8.5 same as the ap2
