245s on the front will rub. The rears might too at 255. Why are you running only 10mm of stagger?

With the Toyos, you might be OK in the rear, but I think you'll need something like 225 in the front to prevent rubbing. Even guys with really high offsets on the front have trouble running 245 tires, from what I've read.

Cheers.

I agree, the 225/45R17 on the front should work with no problems.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

yeah i know 225 will fit on the front but i dont want those lol.....im willing to cut my fenders or mod them it doesnt matter to me i dont plan on selling the car....

i do need tires but not sure what i want yet..

evasive told me that these offsets work perfect for the S2000 so im just going with these my buddy has a IS300 with a 17x8 wheel +43 offset and he is running 245 front and 255 rear all we had to do with that is roll the rear fender and he is droped pretty low

Good luck.

At stock height the 225's might work, if dropped you'll rub even the 225's like crazy. +45 on the front sucks. Your 255 rears are going to rub too. I hope this setup is free because it's going to be a nightmare.

Good for your buddy. That IS300 example you gave has nothing to do with the S2000.

I have 265's currently. I could run a 275 but my wheels are 17x9 +67 in the rear.
