Smile question on lowering my car with +45 offset

Hey guy, I am thinking of to lowering my S with swift spec R springs with OEM shocks. but the question is do I need to roll the fenders to avoid the rubbing? I am running on +45 RPF1s. I appreciate all the suggestions and opinions.

You shouldn't have to I am running 17x7 +42 17x8 +47 with no rubbing issues. I am also on coilovers which would be lower.

+45 on a nine inch requires a fender roll not sure about the 8.5

the tire spec also matters too. I am running front 17x8 +45 with 245/40/17 rear 17x9 +45 255/40/17. with my setup I needed to roll front a bit and the rear had to be rolled on the inside with a tab relocation.

Have you tried measuring how much room you have? Don't know if you've tried these but always helps me out... Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit

+45 with a 255 would require roll and pull, plus plenty of negative camber. I run +48 and even with a roll and -2.8 camber I've chewed the fenders on track during opposite lock. That's with springs that are stiffer than yours, plus an Eibach sway bar on stiff. Those wheels are popular on S2000s but they really don't fit unless you do some previous serious massaging or run downforce front fenders.
