Default Fitment, double checking my math.

Currently on Tein springs. After driving a stanced car in Northwestern Pennsylvania, its not my thing anymore so I plan to stay on the springs and just get some Koni Yellows....or coils lol. Anyway I will have wheel gap I know this and I want my wheels to fit flush with the fenders. I am looking at 17x9 ET30 for the rear and 17x8 ET35 up front. From my mathematics from fender to wheel distance, taking that number, subtracting it from the stock AP1 wheel offsets it seems they SHOULD fit. But I am new to the s2k and these are pretty high offsets from what I've come from. Just double checking my work, please feel free to interject.

30's consider pretty low for us. OEM offset are: +55 for the fronts and +65 for rears.
my S1s' offset are in the mid 30's with 255 in the rears.
my fenders are rolled and it sitting on -3.5 camber and it still rub on hard bumps.
btw Im lowered on Tein Flex.

I have ASM overfenders and 17x9 +29 with a 255 tire is flush in the back. 17x8.5 + 50 with a 235 is flush in the front with stock fenders.

You can double check your math here: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Rear will stick out 2" more than stock. You will need a fender roll and at least -3 camber.

So it depends on what and how much you want to do to make those wheels fit.

17x8 +35 is not really flush with the fender, you will need like a +30.. as for the front tire size id say go with the 215/45 because the 225/45 will eat up your fenders quickly..
