Default No Stoptech under rims that don't require modification?

Looking at the two charts that list what rims will fit the Stoptech BBK and the one that lists which rims and tires will fit without modification there doesn't seem to be any overlap. I want to eventually put the Stoptech BBK on both front and rear without modification to the fenders. I have a CR with no other modifications, just -1.7 camber front and -1.1 rear. I'd like to run 225 or 235 on the front and stick with 255 on the rear.

Please tell me someone has done a BBK without fender modification. I like to track my CR a lot but I want to keep it as stock as possible and not do anything crazy to it.

These rims are known to fit the Stoptech 4 piston 328 mm kit:
-wedsport tc105n 17x9 +49
-enkei rpf1 17x8 +45
-Work emotion 17x8 +44
-949 racing 6ulr 17x10 +52
-949 racing 6ulr 17x9 +48
-volk racing ce28n 17x9 +54
-volk racing ce28n 17x7.5 +43?
-volk racing ce28n 17x9 +40
-Advan RS 17x8.5 +50
For me:
Stoptech 12.9 Kit
Advan RS 17x8.5 +50
No spacers

These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.
For the front:
Offsets lower than +43 are not recommended on the front because a very narrow tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+43 to +47 offset: 205 tires, 6.5" - 7.5" wide wheel
+48 to +52 offset: 215 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+53 to +57 offset: 225 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+58 to +62 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+63 or higher offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
For the rear:
Offsets below 40 are not recommended for the rear because a tire narrower than the stock tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+40 to +44 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+45 to +49 offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 9.0" wide wheel
+50 to +54 offset: 255 tires, 8.0" - 9.5" wide wheel
+55 to +59 offset: 265 tires, 8.5" - 9.5" wide wheel
+60 to +64 offset: 275 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel
+65 or higher offset: 285 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel

Many of those you could get away with a simple fender roll (not pull). Is there any reason you would be against rolling fenders?

You could probably run the 17x7.5 +43 Ce28 without any issue as long as you are sure it clears. Any 17x9 option would work great on the rear.

Another possibility is spacers with stock wheels such as here: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/480...bk-oem-wheels/

I think the stop tech calipers are the largest of the bbk's so you may be sol. The advan rgd's that are s2000 spec may be something to look into but with the stock offsets there isn't much room for that large of a caliper.

No fender rolling required. Careful selection of wheel sizing, tire sizing and alignment.

You might check with Enkei on the PF01 17x8 +50 and the RPF1 17x8 +45.
I have 17x8.5 +40 PF01s up front on the FD with StopTech 328mm brakes, they clear by a mile.

The 17x8.5 +40 won't fit up front without rolling the fenders which I think he doesn't want to do at all. I think the only big brakes I have seen under oem wheels are the spoon brakes and maybe one of the wilwood or ap racing kits but I am not 100% sure on those. I also am not sure if they have to run spacers which puts you right back at the same issue. You may be better off just upgrading to really good rotors pads brake lines and fuild.

My ASM Prodrive GC07Js might be for sale soon. TONS of BBK clearance.

Shameless plug.
