IMO, this is not a good wheel for what you are trying to accomplish. First of all, there is no way you are getting a 80mm lip in the front. There just isn't enough space to even clear the stock brakes, forget about a BBK. You need at least A disk front, maybe even R disk. You could probably get 80mm lip in the rear but won't be able to put that on the front. It would be compromising lip size in the rear to be able to rotate. You could run 9.5" but with different disk type front/rear to maximize lip, would not be able to rotate tires without dismounting though.
Also, this isn't a light weight wheel and it has a stepped lip which will make 17's look small. I'd be looking at those 9.5" +50 CE28. They are light, look good non-staggered, and have better brake clearance.
S1R would look awesome in 18's though, something like 9.5" front and 11" rear.

It would still look good. You could do something like 9.5" +55 A disk (might need R disk) front and 9.5" +45 O disk rear. It would give the appearance of staggered with around 2" lip front and 3" lip rear while still allowing you to run 255 tires all around. Good luck whatever direction you go, hopefully it helped.

According to this guide, the CE28s I bought should fit without any rolling. Specs:
17x7.5 +50
17x8.5 +47
I am lowered perhaps an inch or 1 1/2 on the Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers I have. Front camber is -1.2, rear camber is -3.0. I may just roll anyway just to be safe.

I've consulted the fitment guide, but before dropping a bunch of cash just looking for a warm fuzzy from the experts..
Ap1 with KW V2 adjustable coilovers. looking to put the following setup:
17x7.5 +48 with 215/45/17
17x8.5 +45 with 245/40/17
Goal is not to have to ever roll my fenders.
Thanks in advance for the inputs.
