No point fitting too wide tires on a stock S2000, you'd be dragging the car down because it doesn't have the power.
That being said, my opinion is that you run 215/245 or 225/255 to keep the staggered layout. If you're running square, and to imitate that staggered layout, you'd need to stiffen up the front a little bit more than the rears.
Opssss didnt see frist page:p
I respectfully disagree. I'd recommend going as wide as possible more so on rim width. A number of local track go-ers are putting down good lap times on quite fat tyre/rim setups... Myself included and I'm pretty close to stock power :)
As for the OP, my recommendation on S2ki to check out Urge Designs still proves to be the best option out of all the ones provided on both boards :p
I think instead of explaining.. better to see what US AutoX champions use in stock class cars :) Even then they're going beyond the 225/255 setup you recommended with stock rims :p So if you have a range of aftermarket rims available then... :)

Didn't realise the OP was going to stay with stock suspension - oops. But still I stand by - wider is better :) A track is made up largely of corners, so the more lateral grip you can maintain throughout - the better, even at the cost of longitudal grip. But all of this may be irrelevant to the OP depending on what he's doing really :p
Yeah but with his suspension setup the staggered would be the way to go, that's what I had in mind when I was recommending sizes to him mate :)
As I had mentioned if he wanted to go non-staggered he would have to fix his suspension to do so, and personally 255 is the max I would go both F/R. But the OP would need to modify his current setup and possibly add a wing or stiffer front sway bars as non-staggered is known to cause a lot of oversteer due to the additional front grip, and to stick to stock setups it would very dangerous for beginner/intermediate drivers as it's way more difficult to adjust for high speed oversteer without sufficient experience.
Ah, I kinda figured that's what you were going for :) But I would still say to go as wide as he can but keep a ratio due to the suspension setup (staggered). Or add a front sway and go non-staggered since a wing will look both silly on stock suspension and attract unwanted attention :D
Hey guys, thinking of going for 17x9+45 and 17x8+45. I think that will give me a flush fit at stock height. What do you think?

not my actual car but here's how mine fit
17x9+63 all round
I pretty much want to have the wheels flush with the guards, 63 is too high for me.
