Default AP2 Stance Wheel Sizing Question! Stuck in a Pickle!

Hey Honda guys/girls!! I been outta the honda game for over a year now since my EM1 was stolen and I moved onto the Subaru folks. In the past few weeks I began looking into S2K's to use as a DD instead of my subie. I want to stance out the s2k but I'm kinda stuck on what wheel sizes and offsets I can get away with. I searched before I posted this and called many places and all say different stuff

I know what I will need done in terms of suspension and body mods to make this work but can any of you point me in the right direction? (Please no flaming/hating)

Looking at XXR's 527 either 17X9.5 +35-40 or 18X9.5 +35-40 ALL AROUND

I want to know what tire width would be superb for this wheel..225? 235?

Thanks in advance!!!

it all depends on how low u go and how much camber. all 4 sizes will work. you will fosho need to flare the front fenders and rol the rears and relocate ur bumper tab

^i would like to be flush and try to have as little camber as possible I known I can't get rid of all of it but close to stock. And relocating the bumper tab? So I'll have to plastic weld the tab else where?

Stancing out a car that is made to handle.........kills the whole purpose of the car.

S2000 is one of the most worthless daily drivers. If you don't want to drive the **** out of it, you're doing it wrong.

XXRs could be one of the worst things to happen to S2000 fenders since female asian drivers.

Oni camber.

All the stupidity of "hella flush" (which is what "stance" is a different term for) with even less practicality.

big mistake... stance offers no performance benefit whatsoever... buy some wide fenders and have them installed profesionally, instead of wasting money on a camber kit, and wasting tires... it looks stupid and completely riced out!

and dont torture an s2k with being a daily driver!... it deserves better than that!!

That is what I love about a car that performs. It wont go out of style. Maybe Neon lights will make a huge come back?
