Im just wondering if a 17x8+51 with 225/45/17 tire size would have any rubbing issues or bending a fender out of shape from turning the wheel on a stock fender that hasn't been rolled? Im going to be lowered but nothing aggressive. I tend to like having a good gap between the fender and tire itself and not be slammed, I just don't want to have to rolled the fenders or anything.

Would that tire size and wheel size and offset be ok with a moderate drop? (inch or inch and half gap between the fender tire itself)

 

You should be fine with the +51 and a mild drop. What's your rear tire size? 255/40?

 

yes im running a 255/40 on a x9 +63, which im pretty sure is the standard s2000 size and offset for the rear, I was just worried about the front since from what I mostly see a 7 1/2 is more of a front size on a s2000 not a 8". Just making sure that half a inch wouldn't cause me to have to roll fenders to prevent damage from turning to sharply. I already know if im running any tire size slammed I have to roll fenders but this is just a moderate drop since I do drive around on crappy roads.

 

With that offset the 225 would be the way to go. You should not have any issues.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
