Default 17x8 and 17x9 rubbing issues

Im looking to buy some wheels for the s2000, looking to go 17x8 +43 in the front and 17x9 +45 in the rear.

I was thinking of going with 215-45-17 size tires in teh front and 245-40 in the back.

I am currently on buddy club coilovers so I can raise the car if need be, but with those sizes does anyone know if I will have clearance problems or any rubbing issues? I would prefer not to roll/pull fenders since i wont be keeping the car much longer.

I know this is an elementary question, and I am sure the issue has been discussed over and over again on this site, but searching on s2ki.com is a pain but I just could not find it. I looked thru the wheel/tire size sticky and couldnt find it, (chances are I over looked it) so I thought I would try to get a quick answer. Dont worry, flame suit is on for the bashing!

Thanks again.

You'll definitely need to roll that's for sure. Those are slight aggresive fitments but you should be able to do it with little work
