With a 35mm offset the tires are going to stick out and rub. You are going to need to roll the fender lips and run more negative camber. The tire sizes I would recommend would be 215/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

ive ran a 225/255 with those offsets on those size wheels but its safer to do a 215/245. my sizing required more camber though

Based on successes and failures from many S2000 owners, we can use an offset calculator to figure out what other offsets and tires will work. These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.

For the front:
205 tires: +43 offset minimum (6.5
