I believe the original offset for the +55mm for the 7'' and a 65+mm for the 8'' with those offsets the anwser is NO. It would end up sitting into the wheel well too deep. I recommend you find a wheel with the offsets between +30 to +35 to have a flush to the fender look. Oh btw this is based on a FC right?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So, you just want to know about the offset of S2k wheels??

The OEM MY00-03 (AP1) wheel sizes and offsets are as follows:

Front:
16" x 6.5", +55 offset, 205 tire
Rear:
16" x 7.5", +65 offset, 225 tire

Wow, +55 offset on an FR? Why is it so high on the S2000, I thought that most FR's had lower offset, and that the FF cars need high offset to stuff more brake/suspension in between the two wheels? I had no idea that some FR cars run 55, lol.
