Default Help with RPF1's!

I have a stock 2003 S2000. I want to mimic the tire fitment/lowering/sizes of the S2K pictured below. I like how the front wheels also have the dish that the rear rear have. Any help on wheel sizes, tire sizes, and how much of a drop on the springs? I also assume this person had their fenders rolled/pulled?

I know that for 17" RPF1's, the break between concave and convex is at 8.5" (convex) and 9" (concave, or at least flat).

17x9 + 45, likely 235 or 45 tires. That low and you will def need fender rolling.

That looks like 9" +45 front and 9.5" +38 rear with 255/40 tires all around. Will likely need a slight pull for rear fitment.

I actually helped this guy pick his setup via PM. It is:

F: 17x9 +45 w/ 235/40
R: 17x9.5 +38 w/ 245/40

The tires are Star Specs so they are a tad wider than a standard tire. I'm pretty sure he was on BC coilovers or something similar, with the height just adjusted to where he liked it. All 4 of his fenders are rolled & pulled ~5mm, with the rear bumper tab relocated. Rear bumper lip is also trimmed, along with the front fender liners.

If you're doing 9j +45 all around, then don't do 225's all around. I'd run 235/40 F & 245/40 R if you want to minimize fender work.
