Default Wheels and Tires suggestions

Trying to get suggestions on a new set of wheels and tires for my S2000 (2005). I currently have a set of Volk TE37 (Black with polished lip) 18 7.5 +48 and 8.5 +50 with 215 40 F and 245 35 R. The current wheels fit without any fender mods even though I have a drop of about 1.5 inch. I am trying to put on a Spoon caliper setup in front and with these wheels I would need to spacer 15mm. Alot of hassel and cost since I would have to pull the hubs and spacer front and back according to my local alignment shop and then roll the fenders. I am trying to see if there is a set of wheels that kind of looks like the TE and my colors but would fit my car and the calipers with no fender mods. Can anyone help? Cost of any suggested setup? Trying to weigh the cost/benefit here.

You have way to many variables to say for sure. You would need drawings of the brakes. Then you have the width of the tires the shape of the wheels and the offset that would be needed. You are going to need to start with the drawings of the brakes and what is going to clear.

I'd recommend Advan RGII, 18 x 8" +45 should clear according to this:
