Wheels that don't rub
Any ideas on a rim in the 17x9 inch range that will clear a StopTech 328mm BBK and that won't rub. I prefer to run square setup with 245/40/17 on all 4 corners.
Its for my track car and I thought +45 would clear and they didn't without a spacer, and with spacers you need to modify fenders.

TSW Nurburgring
WedsSport TC105N
Advan RS or RZ (pretty sure)

What offset would you suggest ?

You know that old adage about traits of a girl:
Hot
Smart
Nice
…Pick 2
Same applies to running square with the S2K and wheels.
Square
BBK
Fenders
…Pick 2
So far there is no silver bullet, but you want to run the highest offset possible
Weds TC105n = 17x9 +49 (probably gonna rub)
TSW Nurburgring = 17x9 +63; 255 will definitely rub something under compression and will definitely rub brake ducts/control arms at full lock
Advan RS = 17x8.5 +50 = no experience with this but if the oem CR wheel is 17x8.5 + 63 and these are 13mm further out then for sure it will rub something @ 255
Advan RZ = 17x8.5 +51 = no experience with this but if the oem CR wheel is 17x8.5 + 63 and these are 13mm further out then for sure it will rub something @ 255

It doesn't seem like there are too many wheel options that fit on an s2k w/ a bbk. The "best" option from a cost and fitment standpoint looks to be the TSW Nurburgings in 63mm offset. They won't need a roll in the rear, and the front should fit without a roll, but with 255s up front it might not be a bad idea to roll the fronts to be safe on the track.
Another option is the forgestar wheels, think the f14? They look to clear with plenty of room for a stoptech kit.

I love my square setup using 17x9 +63 TSW Nurburgring wheels. +63 offset makes them super easy to fit under the fenders and the wheel design allows them to clear my Stoptechs with ease. Plus they are super cheap compared to most else out there.
They don't look the best in the world, but still decent IMO. If you are that concerned about looks you probably aren't going to be in this section anyways.

TSW Nurbugring 17x9 +63 are about the cheapest wheels I could find that cleared the 328mm ST kit.
One thing I've noticed tho, make sure your wheel weights are not on the inner most ridge as they will likely hit the caliper.
The only fender work I did was pinch the middle tab up otherwise it will cut the tire under compression + turning
