The rears are fine and should fit with the standard roll, and bumper tab relocate. The fronts are going to be tougher....there's really not much of a lip to roll on the front fenders, so those will probably need to be flared to make work.

The sizes mentioned above are for for rota Grids. Anyone know if these will have a concave appearance @ 42 offset

I'm also contemplating on the new xxr 527 wheels
They have 17 x 8.25 @ + 35 and 17 x 9.75 @ + 25
I'm thinking the 8.25's would be good all around..

I also need to know what tires to run on this set up

Or I can do 17 x 8.25 @ +25 rear and @ +35 front

Would there be too much modding required?

Those offsets are too low to work easily on the S2K. Add in the fact that the car is going to be lowered and it will be even more difficult. You will have to make it fit. Even 17X9 ET 45 with 245/40R17 can rub.
