Also beware the flim-flam man. I ran a thread offerin' a set of wheels (Wheels for Sale With a Warning) that an on-line dealer assured me would work on Stewie without any problems. "Sure, he says. We sell 'em to S2000 owners all'a time. Use 'em myself on mine don'cha know". Anyway, he assured me that the difference in the offset wasn't gonna cause any problems. In fact they pass off the fact that the offsets aren't correct as it being a "more aggressive stance".
Anyway, I bought 'em n' they caused tire/wheel well contact with both my stock 'Stones n' my winter Dunlops.
There's a maximum difference that you can get away with in wheel offset. Matt G posted the limits, but I don't recall where on-site it is, but I'm sure you could find it again.
Unless you jus' want Stewie to sit in a lawn chair admirin' how good it looks, you don't wanna get talked into exceedin' those limits.
Be well.
