Perhaps you CCW owners and ccdan himself can help me out on this...
Regarding steering lock to lock:
When running 18x10" (+51 Offset 7.51" Back spacing) in front with a 245/30/18 or any other size tires, can you guys turn 100% from lock to lock?
Dan mentioned that the 18×10.5 (2.5″ lip) 8.39" +67 up front with the 285 limits lock to lock to about 98/99%
Is this a tire limit (tire rubbing inside the wheel well), or a metal to metal contact limit (wheel rubbing an a arm)?
Anyone have anything to say regarding this issue? Any info is much appreciated.

Easiest response:
Backspacing is the distance from the hubs surface where the wheel sits to the to the suspension. On the front of an S2000 anything with 7.50" of backspacing or less will clear 100% lock to lock. This has no relation to the width off the wheel however.
In Detail:
Since the S2000 has a double A Arm suspension you can actually put a wheel with more than 7.50" of backspacing on with the wheels straight however at full lock your limitation depending on the diameter of the wheel will be the control arm 15-17", control arm to chassis mount 18-19", and inner fender well 20"+. So as you start to up the backspacing 7.75", 8", etc the wheel will still bolt on however will start to hit sooner and sooner the more backspacing that is added.
There is more to the entire equation of a wheel fitting the car other than the backspacing however this explains backspacing itself. For more complete information you can check out some write ups I've done at http://www.flushstance.com/?page_id=635
