They look like they stick out a little bit with the +45...but the higher offset wheels look terrible. I hate the S2K offset RPF1's that started being offered last year. Get the +45 and quit worrying.

They do sit flush, but do require a fender roll in the rear with 245s or larger. And the fronts can clip your fender with anything larger than 215s.
I do not like the +45 offset, they do look pretty good, but it's not a proper fit. I'd like +55 all around, that'd make it fit better.
I think Enkei could do it pretty easily, without changing the mold, just changing the post-cast machining. There is plenty of material on the 17x9 +45 wheel to take off 10mm. I was thinking of taking 10mm off until I saw that the width of material that takes the nut preload would be severely reduced. A spacer could be made, but that's just becoming a headache.

hell, if enkei is gonna make custom wheels for hte s2000 why not get them to do a 17x10 with a +65 offset or so? it wouldn't be great for all the guys who wanna be all hella flush and look cool, but it would be the only nice and reasonably priced 10" wheel available to us and would make non-staggered 275's super easy.

It's not much, but it's very noticeable near the rocker panel with how far the tread sticks out past the rockerpanel/doorsill. I know what it's like, I run +42's
