So i think im going with ccw lm5t. fronts 17x7.5+44 offset and in the back 17x9+48 offset running 245. im only going by the fitment guide. it said i can go+45 to +49 offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 9.0" what do you guys think? idk how accurate the guide is?
Oh and thanks for your guys help really appreciated...

If fender rolling is absolutely out of the question, I would get 8.5" +60 front and 10" +70 rear. That would allow you to run 225/45 front, 255/40 rear without any fender work and leave room to run wider tires in the future if you wanted more rubber.

17/18 is personal preference. Generally speaking, I prefer 17" on the S2000 but went with 18's mainly due to tire availability. Once you get into 275+ widths, there aren't any 17" tires available in stock diameter. For example, a 285/35/17 tire doesn't exist. Also, this style wheel has a 16" center and large stepped lip, makes it look smaller than it really is so the 18" doesn't bother me.
It won't be flush with the high offsets, but slightly more aggressive than stock. You don't have any choice if you won't roll the fenders though. You can't have a flush or even semi-flush fitment without rolling the fenders. IMO, if you are going to do this - go all the way and roll your fenders. It will allow you to run a more aggressive setup that will look much better.
