205/50/16 in the front, 225/45/16 in the rear.
HOWEVER
The only way you can run a 245 contact patch in the rear is by using the OEM S02's, which is what my next set of rears will be. I do not think you can run 245's on a 7" wide wheel.
EDIT: I was checking TireRack and if you run 245/50/16s in the rear, then they will apparently fit a 16x7 wheel. I do not know what increasing from the 245/45 to 245/50 will do.

I think they look amazing. I am actually confused as to what everyone is complaining about. From a "bang for the buck" stand point, the wheels are light cheap, and very good looking.
Actually got me looking at them
Price does not determine everything. Kosei k-1's are about 100 bucks a piece if not cheaper and are in the top ten most purchased racing wheel.

if they were free or someone payed me to put those on my car I wouldn't. Its not beacuse they are Rotas...they could be $5k wheels for all I care.
The problem is they don't fit, why would you switch from a rim with fitments specifically designed for your car to a generic one that doesn't fit nor even accomidates the correct size tire?
For those saying they don't like those that are all show and no go...this is a prime example.

I don't care for them, but hell you got em for FREE....
If someone gave those wheels to me for free.....I would have sold them, combined the money with some of my own and bought wheels that are staggered and fit the s2000.
I'm confused why you would take off your stock 17's which look really good and put some fake spoon style wheels that don't do anything for your car....
IMO, when I see people with the wrong size/application on their car, it tells me that they most likely don't know what their doing... or just don't care.
Your car....your style......
