Please. No.
Do the 9 or 9.5 all around, but no need to run that low of an offset to run stretched tires. Just stick to something more like a +45 and you can run some 255s on all four corners.
Bingo. I don't know what the closest Volk fitment is to what I have, but I really think mine is ideal on a stock bodied car. 17x9 +45 out back and 17x8.5 +45 up front. You could easily run a 17x9 +45 all the way around, but a 255 up front would require a fender pull, and something like a 225 will be really stretched compared to the back.
RE30s look good in standard S2000 offsets too though. You could easily go that route and still come out with a killer looking car.
I had 225's on the front once, and it ate up my fender on a sharp turn. I'm thinking I'd like to stay at a 215 front, which would mean nothing wider than 8.0 front. The rear, I have no problems with a 9.0 +45ish.
I'm really looking at the RE30's. They make 2 silvers apparently. Titanium and Mercury silver. The mercury looks more "polished".
My vote also goes to the RE30(silver). 17x9 +63 x4. You can always throw some spacers on there.
P.S. I hate TE37s
I found a set of 4 17x9 +63, but I didn't think the fronts would fit correctly. And I'm not trying to run stretched front tires, or 245's in the front.

No worries, I couldn't remember what your sizes were Flite - yours look extremely nice. If I wanted to be SUPER picky I'd say you could go out 5-10mms all around with the same sized tires and a hair more camber (assuming someone wanted to run something a tad more aggressive).
A 235/40 on a 8.5 wont be stretched a whole lot and as long as you roll the fenders it wont eat up your front tires at all. Not to mention a 235/40 is nearly the same height as a 215/45. If you wanted to have an even looking tire out back you can run a 245/40 instead of a 255.
I am just throwing out numbers based on tire/wheel fitment, nothing based on S2000 handling characteristics at all, lol, mostly because I don't know anything about them other then Flites car looks awesome and if you replicated his fitment you would also have an amazing looking car (your car is pretty sick looking now btw).

Search 'lazyjet' on S2ki. He used to have a 17x9 +63 setup at all corners, and it looked absolutely amazing.
