and also, when you pick your tires they only give you 215/45/17.

Those rims are HAWT!!! I would suggest getting a staggered setup, not only in tire size but also in rim width.

Then again I love what you did to your stock rims... Keep those or give them to me when you buy new rims.. lol

Just my 02.

sidwayz,

You might want to make sure the offset is correct or you could be chewing up wheel bearings and may have rubbing issues if you need to go to a 18 in rear to maintain the stagger. I like the gunmetal is that what you are considering?

No "they" about it. Has to be a location (there).

Those wheels are hot!

But from just looking at the website, on the bottom the only staggered set up listed is 19X8.5 front and 19X10 rear

Hey, I'm the Doctor here, I'll determine if they're sick. Okay... so where did I put my rectal thermometer?

Look, I dunno fer sure okay? But when they put that much time in on tellin' yuh how great they are'n never once mention whut the offset izz . . ya kin pretty much take it to the bank that these are common offsetz (Read: non-Stewie) n' the whole purpose'a this exercise it to ge'cha ta salivatin'n' spendin' yer money on stuff without verifyin'att it'll fit'r, at the very least, not give'ya grief.

N' don't think that the salesman tha'cha call up'z alwayz gonna be on the up-n'-up. Once they ge'cher money'n' their product shipped off to yuh, the problem is yours.
N' if this soundz like I might'a been stung by an operation like this before, you're readin' it right.

When the offsetz ain't listed in the primary info dump, there'z like a 99% probability that they ain't the extreme offsets that you need for them to go 'round'n round on Stewie without doon damage to hardparts in'a process.
N' if the spec (offset) ain't right'n you're still goin' back ta the site'n droolin' over'em . . . whu'cha are is'n accident waitin'a happen kiddo.
Do yerself a big favor'n delete the site from yer favoritez'n move on.

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

The offsets above will all set the outside edge of the tire to the same place relative to the outer fender, rounding to the nearest millimeter

Nah, he's a bit weak in the punctuation department...should have been: There. Both sick! and ergo, you got two they's and they're both sick somewhere...unless he was passing along a virus and he meant There..both sick (he said with an air of satisfaction)
