Default 17x9 +44 x4 Work CR Kai's

I'm planning on getting a set of 17x9 +44 nonstaggered work cr kai's and was wondering how much work am i looking at to get them to fit? I'm lowered on espelirs ASD with about a finger gap but definately will go lower via coils in the future. I know for sure that I'll need a roll all around along with some mild camber but will I need to flare my fenders and how much camber do I have to run at least? I'm planning to run 245/40/17 tire sizes too. Thanks.

Would I have to pull the fronts out and risk possible paint crack?

Maybe slight roll in rear depending on tire size. Fronts will depend on tires size & how low/stiff you are with springs. I have +45 up front no problem there with 225/45/17. My rears are +38 & thats with a major roll, tab relocate & -2 camber, so with +44 it should be a piece of cake.

Check out the latest issue of Super Street magazine. It's got a one page article/photos on fender mods for the S2000.

This is how low my car is sitting currently, I'm gonna lower it a lil more in the future.

I've heard people say that paint crack is inevitable even with a heat gun cuz it depends on how much of the fender is being pulled out, so my question is with my setup, would I have to pull them out so much that my paint would crack? Most likely going to run 245 front and rears, I would go 255 but I don't want to have more chances of destroying my fenders, and I don't wanna go 235 cuz I don't feel safe running less width than oem sizes.

Thanks guys.

Yes. Might need a slight pull in the front if you plan on lowering it more than an 1.5" and plan on running a 245/40 all around. I'm running 17x9 +45 all around with 245/40's and I had to slightly pull my front. Granted I was about 2" low then woke up and raised it another 1/2".

With any fender mod you risk paint cracking.
