There's a vendor on s2ki selling TC105N's in 17x9 +35 with free federal tires for basically the cost of the wheels normally. I almost want to do it and just ride on the junk tires until next year so I can have the wheels I really want.

junk tires can cause some unwanted driving situations.

They're federal 595's or something. As long as they have tread they'll be ok on the street. I'm on Yoko S Drives now, and they're alright for normal driving unless you let them go bald in the rear. Then the rear of the car twerks in the rain.

In the front, with just springs; it's probably rubbing the inner fender liner something fierce. Stock height 255's will fit with the right offset wheels, +35 and that much tire on a S2000, it's going to need work to fit.

I could easily pull the fenders to get it to swallow as I roll/pull fenders all the time. BUT in my opinion its trying to hard. I'm a firm believer in squeezing the biggest size under the car with stock metal.

Same here, not one for non-functionality in my car. Yeah you could make it fit, but its not going to turn/drive worth a fuck; and at the end of the day, that is blasphemous to a s2000.

So I think the clutch "issues" I might be having in my car are being caused by the clutch master cyl. Pedal only engages right near the top, even after adjusting, and while I was down there adjusting I noticed the dirt/grease/fluid on the master cyl shaft, and the fluid in the reservoir ws dirty as shit. I'm gonna try to replace my fluid and see if that helps out any.
