Default TSW Nurburgring RF

I really like the TSW Nurburgring RF wheels. I want to keep the stagger of the car. The rear wheel would be 17x9 +63 and the front 17x7.5 +45. Looking at the wheel fitment guide on this forum I figure the rear is ok but I am not sure about the front. I want to put on Hankook RS3's. The front would be the standard size 215-45-17 and in the rear I would go up one size to 255/40/17 (like the CR). Can anyone confirm if the front offset will work? On the TSW web site they have one photo of an S2000 with these wheels. It doesn't say the size though. My AP2 has stock suspension right now. I may want to lower it 1" in the future. If this wheel/tire combo works, would it still work with the car lowered 1"? Anyone on this forum have these wheels? If so can you share pictures?

Thanks!

That's my car on the website. I have a 1 inch drop and 225's and 255's. No rubs. Here is the thread.

Where have you been when I asked about 225s vs 215s on those wheels. I had to go with 215s in front to be on a safe side.

ps. in your other post you said you have 215s up front

As an autocross set-up: I ran the Nurburgrings last year with 255/40r17 Hankook RS3s all around. 17x9+63 F&R.

I was slightly lowered in the front only, and I did rub in various spots on the fender liner and remove the plastic tabs in the front. Plus a little on the sway bar, but that's not stock.

The rears were no issue at all.
