I'm just going to pass on those wheels, really sucks because it was a good deal. I'll just go with my original plan of 17x8 +45 215 and 17x9 +45 245.

Still have to roll rears, and relocate bumper tab on x9 +45 if you plan on going low.

Shouldn't be a problem if I'm not sitting flush or lower.

Most of the people I've talked to on S2ki say this is a pretty common size to go with without rolling or anything needed.

It depends on what tire you get in 245. Some tires run significantly larger than others in the same size.

Are you referring to the lip of the tire? I was thinking maybe a 245/40/17. No idea what tires I'll buy though.

Who knows, I may run a 8.5 or 8 in the rear just to put a meatier tire on. I don't care for a lower profile tire.

But then again, 245/40/17 isn't that low.

Can you post some pictures when you get set up, I was thinking about running the same size on my s2 but would like to see how it "fits"

I'm running 255/40/17. 17x9 +49 rear. Had to roll fenders, relocate bumper tab. I'm just tucking tire.

17x8 +45 17x9 +45 is the super common RPF1 S2000 sizes.

This is a stupid question but when aren't those asked on here, are you running stock suspension?
