Default Help w/ different sizes front/rears like NSX wheel

Question to people who are running wheels like the NSX wheels which are smaller in the front than the rear, does this have an adverse affect on the S2000 suspension? specifically an 00' AP1 chasis? Here are the specs of the wheels/tires.

17 x 8 fronts with 45mm offset, tires are 215/40/17

18" x 10 rears with 50mm offset, tires are 265/35/18

Please advice, thanks.

It will not harm the suspension in any way. Only difference is the sidewall is a bit larger in the front so you will have a hair more flex there

I don't think that offset wuold be the best idea for the rear personally. It seems low.

Would negative camber or rolling fenders make it better fitment?

Over an inch differance in overall tire diameters; might create problems with the anti-lock brakes.
