assuming you're stock ride height:
fronts will be a close call since they're 18x8 with 48mm...stock offset i think is like 52/53mm in front, so you MAY just make it...but not sure if you wanna risk. someone who has fitted this can tell you best....if anything you're gonna have to use a very lowpro tire, and check if you can turn lock-to-lock without touching the fender or inner shock.
the rear will fit for sure, but with a 45mm offset the rims will stick out (stock is like 62or63mm), but not like crazy, but enough that you would rub for sure if you lowered it. if you dial in more negative camber (with stock it's hard to get anything past -1.6 to about -1.8, least for me it was), you'll be ok for lowering, but i would suggest a fender roll.
the s2k runs a higher offset in rear, so for 'true' s2k fitment you actually want a wider rim in back (of course), but with a higher offset to be 'safe'. unless you wanna do typical rwd styles and go lower offset in rear like most rwd's...but just make sure you plan for more changes - see camber/fender rolling/flaring.

17x9 rpf1's in +45 fit on all 4 corners with rolling fenders and pulling them hard in the front. You are up 7mm here though.
I bet the 8.5" +45 rears would fit without even a fender roll but you should roll it just in case or bye bye tire.
