Default Slipstream fitment questions

The 17" slipstreams only seem to be available in 17x8 +48 right now. Can anybody confirm that this fitment will work on the S2000? It seems like it should. For what it's worth, it will be lowered 1-1.5" with rolled fenders. What size tires are going to be best for this setup?

It will fit fine since you're rolled. might want to run a spacer in the rear.

You may have to move the fender tab on the rear, that would be the only other thing since you're already rolled.

As for tires, are you wanting to square things up, or run a staggered setup?

Me personally, I would run a 225/255 setup.

Thanks--the guy who I had roll also relocated the rear bumper tab. I'd prefer a staggered tire setup as long as it won't look stretched or dumpy. I was thinking 225 in front and 245 or 255 in rear. Does a 40 series all around make sense, or should one end be a 45? Sorry, still trying to figure out what seems to be a tricky world of tire fitments on the S2k.

I used to have a set awhile back, 17X8 +48 and 17X8.5 +45. I used them for awhile without a roll or bumper tab relocated. Only under severe compression would the rear hit the tab. I was lowered 1.25-1.5. I ran 225/255s. Also, I ran them on rough Alaskan roads and never rubbed te fenders.
