I have 18" Work Meister S2r's. They are 8" wide front and 9" wide rear. The offsets are +51 fnt. and + 63 rear. I think if you don't get a higher offset than +38, it may look a bit funny. Oh, mine is an '03.

what are you trying to do, get the spoon brake???
well if you do go for the 16, 18 might look better, but you'll find out that 16 is faster

I would say no according to the info below unless you run very skinny tires...

This has been posted in other threads on another s2000 forum by some sharp guys who have had a lot of experience compiling data on tires and wheel offsets for "real world" s2000 applications - not those who just sell tires and wheels:

Based on successes and failures from many S2000 owners, we can use an offset calculator to figure out what other offsets and tires will work. These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.

For the front:
6.5” to 7.5” wide wheel: 205 tires: +43 offset minimum
7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 215 tires: +48 offset minimum
7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 225 tires: +53 offset minimum
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +58 offset minimum
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 245 tires: +63 offset minimum

For the rear:
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +40 offset minimum
7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel: 245 tires: +45 offset minimum
8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel: 255 tires: +50 offset minimum
8.5” to 9.5” wide wheel: 265 tires: +55 offset minimum
9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel: 275 tires: +60 offset minimum
9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel: 285 tires: +65 offset minimum
