Default Work Vs-xx will this setup fit my ride?

I bought a set of work vs-xx rims with these setup
18x8
5x 114.3
Offset +45, +38

whats the best tire setup i can run these rims on my ride? i have a stock s2000 not dropped and no fenders rolled. do you recommend fender rolling first before installing these on my ride? which off set rims should i run on the front 45/38 and is there enough clearance on the wheel on the front?

thanks for your help everyone

At stock height, it's unlikely that you'll rub. I hope you got a good deal to have picked out a non-staggered 8" set. They'll actually look decent due to the offsets, but it's not optimal since you'll have to make a compromise on the tire selection.

The higher offset will give you more clearance. I would say that even with the 45 you will need to stay with narrower tires.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

I have the same exact offset and rims on my car, +38 fronts +45 rears, but mine are 18x8 and 18x9. I'm running no gap in the rears with a 245/40 and I only rub when I go over bumps when I'm going 40+ mph. My fronts are rolled and flared while my rears are rolled with bumper tab relocation. I'm running 215/40 in the front.
