I am running the same wheels (same offset) and same tire sizes. I am lowered on PSS9's. I would do a front and rear roll if I were you.

Even with a slight roll up front, I still ended up PWN'ing a front fender on a tight turn up in the mountains. Better to be safe than sorry....destroying a fender sucks, trust me.

I'm on 18x8 +45 and 18x9 +50 lowered a little more than 2" and I rolled fronts and rolled/relocated bumper tab in the rear. 225/40 and 255/35 for the tires.

Rubbing sucks, just be safe and roll them...

Theres no fun in driving the s2000 when you're worried about rubbing, blah (I'm currently trying to sort out some rubbing).

i personally dont think it will rub THAT much, but it would still be good to do a roll/ tab relocate in the rear, and to roll up the tab holders in the front fenders, that should settle any issues you might have

i dont know about the fronts as i am lowered less then you, but i run same front size tires and 275-35-18 in the back on those exact wheels. rears need roll + bumper tab relocate then you can run stock camber no rub at all. fronts will prolly need a roll to at the drop you have.
