Default HELP! Wheel these fit?;)

Hey guys!!!
So I am having the opportunity of my parents replacing my Potenza re-11's with Michelin Pilot Super Sports.. With this advantage I decided I am going to go ahead and buy a set of aftermarket wheels, Enkei rpf1's! (anyone know a trust worthy, great price website??)
So here is my question(s)
Would these wheels and tires fit on my stock ap2 s2000?
...or any of these combinations.
Has anyone done it? Pics?

Wheels:
F: 18x7.5 +48 F anddd R: 18x8.5 +30

Tires (options) :
F: 225/45 or 40/18 and R: 245/45 or 40/18

Any advice is taken!
Comments welcome!
Tire/Wheel newbie!

Thanks!

First off why not the Tire Rack for the wheels? We are the oldest in the mail order tire and wheel business. If you check with other members I am sure you will get good response on our customer service. Secondly a 30mm offset rear wheel will take some modification to not rub. You will need a fender lip roll and negative camber to make them fit. The tire size would need to be a 245/35R18 or 255/35R18.
If I can help let me know.

factory height?

do a 225/35 front and 255/30 rear.

if you're planning on lowering springs, you'll have to roll the rear.

Nobody makes a 255/30R18 and they would be 1 " shorter than stock. Those are not good sizes.

Thank you for this information... I haven't really explored tire rack to see you could do Wheels and Tire setups! And yes I do I have a question.. The Enkei Rpf1 wheels on tire rack say you need to buy something from the dealer to not get a light... Can you explain this in further detail? I'm sorry, I seem not to understand..

Thanks!
