So I installed my springs about a month ago and im gonna go get a alignment tomorrow. I put my other wheels on and im debating on whether I need a roll. Its fine for normal driving but im worried about my fenders if I hit a pothole. Here are some pics.
Specs are 17*7.5 +45 with 225 tires and 17*8 +48 with 245.
Also im getting a alignment tomorrow, Im thinking of doing like -2 to 3 degrees to help.

I would just to be safe. They don't even need to be rolled flat just a minor roll and you will be safe.

 

Why wouldn't you roll?

 

My philosophy on rolling fenders:

Does it make sense to do irreparable and irreversible modification to such a wonderful car to make a set of wheel fit?

I would say go -2 in the front, take a corner hard and see if it rubs.

 

or you can just cut the lip and not roll it. i wish i cut it and didnt roll

but you can always get a new quarter panel and weld it on LOL

 

I wouldent want to roll if I don't have to, but if its necessary ill do it. I guess ill check if it rubs. Im mostly worried about damaging a fender(like ive seen on a lot of s2000s with wide wheels/low offset) and regretting not getting it rolled.

 

Ok do this. Put the car on jack stand. Place the jack under one of the wheels and jack it up as much as you can. If it touches the fender it means you could rub and could damage your fender. If not then you are fine.

 

With the camber you are planning on adding you wont rub. I would only roll fenders as a last ditch effort. If your car is in good shape and is a clean S2000 then dont ruin it by rolling fenders. I have gone down the rolling and flaring path before, and dont want to do it again. I will only roll if its because I rub at the track, not to fit wheels that werent designed for the S2000.

We need to start a preservation of S2000's trend!!

 

I have 17x7.5 +35 225 front and 17x8 +35 245 rear. Lowered on PSS. With -2 in the rear. And it rubbed on any kind of bump, but only slightly.
Wouldn't figure yours would rub with the better offset.

I had a minor roll on mine and bumper tab relocated, no issues now
