Default Would I be able to run a aggressive wheel?

I am looking to pick up a s2k that is on stock suspension and wheels . One of my main mods to do would be to buy coilovers and wheels. Now...I am not into the whole slammed look or hellaflush look or cambered look. I like my car to be lowered and look good yet still functional. . The picture below is of my old Evo that was on tein coilovers and rota 17x9 wheels. I love the height that my Evo sits at in the picture.

My question is if I lowered the s2k to this height (not sure exact height in inches) but would I be able to run a more aggressive wheel setup . I'd like to do 17x9's all around with possibly 245F and 255R but some what aggressive offsets.

LMK your opinions guys.

It depends on what you mean by "aggressive" offsets. If you mean overall wheel fitment like what is on your Evo in those pictures, then yes it's very possible.

17x9 +45 with 255s is a common size
17x9 +35 with the same tires is a harder fit but 245s will work easy

Honestly, the happy medium is find something 17x9 +40, and run 255's all around. You'll need to flare the fronts, but it will be perfect for what you're wanting.

The most I want to do is roll fenders. I dont want to be tucked. Want some of the top of the tire to show still. 17x9 with a +35 front and rear but run 235's to 245's in the front and 255's in the rear . Since I want a somewhat wider tire in the rear because the car in looking at is boosted.

That could work easily. 9j +35 all around, 235/40 F and 255/40 R. You will have to relocate the attachment point on the side for the rear bumper, and maybe pull 3-5mm. That's really no big deal though.

I understand pulling isn't difficult to do if you find a good shop to do it. But the most I want to do is only roll fenders no pulling and also I don't want to run any camber. That's why I'm asking if I lower just enough like in the pics above to where it has a good stance but nothing crazy. Can I run a decent offset and fit 235/40 F with 255/40R
