Its not that hard, roll it til it doesn't hit.

17x9 +45 with a 255 all the way around is NOT hard to fit.

If you are scared, just run a 245 tire.
i thought it was gonna be hard to fit, but they fit perfectly

Just look for pictures of a stock S2000 on RPF1s. The swifts do nothing aesthetically.

I'm getting conflicting stories on the fitment of RPF1's where I live. I'm confused...

Can anyone tell me if I plan to lower the car 1" max (springs only on stock suspension) what rim width and offset I should be running?

Options as far as I've been told are:

a. 17x7.5 +48 running a 215/45R17 tire
17x9 +45 running a 245/40R17 tire

or

b. 17x8 +45 running a 225/45R17 tire
17x9 +45 running a 255/40R17 tire

From what I've read on the forum here I'd need to relocate the bumper tab and roll the fenders with option b?
