i think a 255 on an 8 is a little too much, i would just stick to the 245...

I love these wheels. Hopefully there is a good offset/width for the front. I don't really want 7.5 +48 in the front because the spokes stick out almost flush with the lip.

Is there a way on the tire rack site to look at what size/widths/offsets are available for each wheel?

No. Its a liability thing, mostly. Just call and ask if you're curious.

Or check the Enkei site: http://www.enkei.co.jp/en/p_detail_rpf1_pri.html

They're not expensive wheels. $240-250 each is around average. And under $100/tire is doable if you're not expecting the best tires in the world. Sumitomo HTR Z II's go for $70-80/tire in 17" S2000 sizes, and they'd probably outperform some of the suggestions I've seen thrown around on here.
