Default Wheel/Tire Question

Wanting to get some help with tires/wheels combo. I’m wanting to go with Star Specs and ASA AR1’s (17x8 +45) for all four corners. I’m lowered on Swift Spec R springs, so will I need to have my fenders rolled? What size tire (225/45 or 235/45)? Would I need to change anything else? I have All-Season tires on my factory wheels, so I’m looking for something to use during the summer that can be rotated to reduce wear… and easy to swap when the weather turns cold. TIA

I would recommend a 245/40/17 all around with those wheels. Be prepared to roll your fenders though.

^What he said. I would even suggest getting 8.5's for the rear since that is oem width for ap2's and you could then run a 245 front and 255 rear.

You will need a fender roll for sure but nothing extreme. I have 17x9's =43 in the rear and I just have a roll and I haven't rubbed yet.

I believe these wheels are only available in 17x7 or 17x8 for the S2000. I knew going with the 17x8's would lose some width on the back, but I was hoping it wouldn't be too negative of an impact. Also thought it might be a benefit adding a bit more footprint to the front.
