I finally got my CR back, but i had to cut the rear kevlar top secret diffuser due to my R1000 not fitting. I cut the sides but kept the middle. I also put the over fenders on, ill have pics up tomorrow, dont be to harsh on me if you dont like the diffuser, i would rather cut it then sell my r1000 exhaust, i love the tone of that thing.

guys got a pretty dumb question to ask, just looking through this thread i think i already have my answer.

I'm still new to the offset thing but have read the wheel fitment guide and played around with a few calculators.

I'm looking into this wheel setup

18x8 +30 up front
and
18x9.5 +23 out back.

225/40-18

255/35-18

I'd be buying these used, so if it wont work for me then just off to look at another set of wheels.

From what I understand from what Ive read and calculated esp when lowered pretty damn low on coilovers, these will be too aggressive for the S2000.

I have no problem with rolling the fenders, even pulling a bit, but I dont want to do any major fender modifications to avoid rubbing.

Again I think I already know the answer is it'd take quite a bit of work. But before I write these off for good I figured I'd ask opinions... what do you guys think? too agressive without serious modification to fenders? or get away without rubbing with some tab relocation/fender rolling?

That front offset is WEAK compared to the rear. That rear will need A LOT of fender work to fit unless you run an aftermarket camber kit and/or roll and pull the shit out of the fenders.

Very basic 17x8/9+45 setup. If you guys don't think it's worthy just tell me and I'll take her down.

Even with rolling, pulling and a mild pull with those tire sizes and maxxed out camber it could not be done. That is if you want to be low and on a stock body.

I'm running a 9.5" +38 with a 245/40 with -3.5 with a roll, pull and flare and I can't get my finger nail into the space. There's maybe 5-7mm from tire to fender.

Wrong, it can be done. He definitely needs to pull the rear fenders = fender buckling, which of course only a body shop can fix. He will needs lots of camber for sure.
