so you wouldnt go down in tyre size yvets?
I'm flirting with the idea of running a set of 18x8 +35's upfront atm
Been told they'll fit with a roll and some camber from a member here on s2ki, but I'm still not 100% sure yet.
As vyets has said, I too am sure Jon's S had the fronts rolled.

I had the guy from sydney guard rolling do my rears, he said the fronts dont look like they need rolling. Ohwell may need to get him back. The fronts dont have much to roll either, not like the rears.
I dont want to go lower in tyre width but the car is a bitch to drive now.

With the 18x8 + 35, you would probally most likely have to Lip the front guards which looks horrible! But I'm not too sure maybe with enough camber you can fit them with just rolled and not lipped.
Fron'ts dont need rolling because it dosen't bend in enough like the rears, and its clearing fine its just when you full lock.
Put your finger in your front guards and you`ll be able to feel the metal bend in, that little tiny bit is enough to clip onto your tyres.
On another note, bend your splash guard clips up as mine actually cut into my tyres ! LOL.

Nice stuffs 
Just wondering how much u paid for those AD07?
If you are thinking of switching to 245 and 215, I am suggesting Dunlop Star Spec Z1 as they are better than AD07 and even RE11 but that's according BMI review but they won't last as long as AD07.'
PS: I suggest running -2 to -3 front camber front and rear but you might still need to roll the rear guards.

the Z1 star specs are awesome, but I have no idea where you can get them locally??
As vyets said the problem is obviously cornering with some lock and then hitting a bump...my fender got owned as well...
btw, the rims are starting to grow on me a bit, but I think there are some cars with the GT-Cs that just pull off the look so much better...gunmetal S15s with gold GT-Cs for example...
It's hard to find a nice rim colour for NFR cars imo, but your offset and wheel width save it, good stuff

Yeah I cant find the Z1 star specs here?
The current tyres came with the wheels 3irk.
I found wheel choice on the NFR the most difficult, on a white car its too easy anything looks good for example.
I will get new 225 and keep the 255. Im just looking at options in tyres atm. I will then get an alignment with camber, start with UK specs and work from there. If I need to I can raise the front slightly.

New updates, its been awhile I have spent alot on the type r recently, but still prefer my S2000.
Just added Recaro SPG Pole Positions x2 with BuddyClub rails.
The seats are awesome, they are perfect for the tight cabin and clear the doors, and glovebox door. I had troble with the rails and seat belt but worked out an alternative to the stock seat belt recepticle.
Did a small photo shoot, after a wash:
