Default qucik question about putting rims on my s2k

i'm on stock height and i would like to see if i purchased these wheels (on the link below) what would i need to do, roll? relocate rear tab? and have some crazy camber? if so i guess they are not for me. thanks for any information given as i am not too good when it comes to choosing rims with right offset.

but really. The offset is WACK. Check out a +45 17 x 9 or 9.5

What size tires do you want? you could get away with a 255 with something like what I said.

wait for a few more replies before you order anything.

Here are the wheels they are on my s2000 on a friends car before I bought them.

They are 17x 9.5 +35 all the way around 245 in the rear and 225 in the front. The fronts are clearly stretched but not to bad. The rear are a little but you can hardly tell. I plan on going with a 245 up front and 275 in the back with some fender flares.

Those are the tire/wheel sizes I plan to get when I'm ready. I rode in an S the other day with that same size 245/275 rcomp at an autox event, they were badass.

rpf1s are common on the internet. when was the last time ou saw an s2000 with those. i have never seen that in person besides a carshow. so, no, they are not that common unless you only go to s2000 car shows and i bet you wont be parked next to one with them.
cmon people.

as for the first post and the work wheels, they are whack with those offsets.
the seller wont even tell you what they are, just the camber he has them set to.
you will be wasting your money and your car will ride like ****.
why cant people only do mods that will make the performance better not worse.
people who get camber settings like that are hella retarded.
dont disrespect an s2000 like that
your better off with a safer offset and a fender roll and tab relocate. FTMFW
