Default 18x8 +35 18x9 +45

Found a bargain price on a set of Meister S1's with good lip in 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +45.

I intend to run a set of Spoon calipers upfront, so I need a slightly more aggressive front, but do you think the wheels will fit on a stock bodied S2000? I know it'll need a fender roll up front & perhaps a light camber adjustment, but anything else I might need to do (front or rear - open to suggestions from those in the know)?

And, do you think I will have any rubbing issues with a 225 front and 255 rear with the rear bumper tab relocated?

The car is dropped on a set of KW V3's as an FYI.

roll and camber is all you're gonna need. ive had those same offsets before with no problems.

Was that with stock front fenders?

I know the rear will be fine, but its the front I'm worried about.

ok guys, up for a thread bump.

I've picked up a set of Spoon calipers that I'm awaiting to receive in the mail from the US.

The wheels have arrived.

Now I need to know tyre options.

I'm thinking a 225 / 35 / 18 front and a 245 / 35 / 18 rear.

Your thoughts?

I'd opt for the 225/40-18 & 255/35-18's myself. I'm running this combo. in 0-1R's.
