Default Is it posible to fit these sizes without rubbing?

Here are the specs on the wheels

17 x 8.0 +35/+48 4h/5h x 100/114.3

17 x 7.5 +45/+48 4h/5h x 100/114.3



I was thinking of:
Front 17 X 7.5 +48 offset
Rear 17 x 8.0 +48 offset

I have 1" drop with Tein S-Tech. Will I rub? Will the rim stick out? What size tires should I use?

Maybe if you run 205/50R17 front and 225/45R17 rear.

Right now im running 245/45/16 on the rear, will the contact patch of the 225/45r17 tires be smaller?

are you thinking of going with rota's? Those specs look like whats available from rota.

I'm looking into getting 17" rota boosts 17x7.5 fronts and 17x8 rears both +48 offset. Would be interesting to know if the sizes you mentioned would work.

I'm trying to choose between torque and boost.
Following the information in the link you just posted going for 8.0 in the back will need a 40 offset, but since I know our cars run very high offsets on the rear I wanted to give a try to 48 offset all around.

I wanna go for 235 tires but im afraid of rubbing. I have 1" drop as I said before, but im planning on going a bit lower, maybe another inch.

No, 35 bad, you want higher for the S2000, not lower.

I repeat:

From what I have read, you should be able to run 215 and 245 with a 48 on front and rear. It will be close, but should be OK 99% of the time.
