Default TL wheels on S2000

Ok guys so here goes I just picked up my first S2000. It is in need of tires so rather than just slapping some tires on the stock 16s I did some searching and found that I really like the TL 17s on it. I have found a pic of them on an S as well which I will attach. My question is what size tires can I run? I did some searching on this as well and looks to be a 205 without rubbing in the front. I didn't really want to have to go that narrow but if I must then I guess I will have to. I am lowered on tein S-techs as well. Below are the specs of the TL wheels.
Thanks in advance.

TL 17x8 +45

Nice. But I'd rather have a wider wheel in the back. It will work though. You can just stagger the tires. Looks hot though.

Yeah I agree I am just daily driving it. Not tracking it or anything... But would like a decent size tire under the front. Don't want to have to go narrower than stock. I am trying to run the widest tire I can without rubbing... Looking for input so I can order tires...

You should be able to fit a 225/45 in the front without any problems.

That's with no crazy camber or rolling fenders? I appreciate the help I am sure it's been answered before but everyone has rolled fenders etc...

id recommend rolling your fenders, when I ran TL wheels ( I forgot the tire size), I destroyed my fenders pulling into my driveway everyday.

That looks exactly what I am planning on doing... Not really wanting to have to roll the fenders as I am not in country and do not have anyone to do it currently...

Then plan on damaging your fender and paying a body shop to fix it. Seriously find someone to do it for you. Otherwise don't buy the wheels. It's that simple. All it takes is one bad bump and you have damage and then your stuck with a body shop fixing and probably repainting the fender.

So if you dont mind educate me on fender rolling. From my knowledge its simply rolling the inner lip on the fender up so it does not come in contact with the tire correct? I am going with a shorter tire than what is on the car currently. Now I understand the offset is changing as well but with a Tein S Tech spring I do not see the car tucking tire anytime soon.
