Default Thinkin of Enkei RPF1s vs Blitz 01s....

Hows it goin Honda Tech? Well after about an hour of forum browing and research I figured it woul just be easier to just ask my questions instead of reading pages hoping to come across someone set up like I am lol. Well I am shopping around for some Enkei RPF1s or some Blitz 01s. I was thinking about 17x7.5 +48 in the front and 17x8 or 9 +45 in the rear. I am lowered on Tein Springs which is about an 1.5 maybe drop with stock shocks for now. My question is will this setup work with these wheels WITHOUT having to roll or so any kind of fender modification? I am wanting a semi staggered setup for my s2000 without having to do anything to my fenders. Also what size tires would you recommend running as well? ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The front will definitely not need any modifications. With a 1.5 inch drop, the rear might be ok as well, especially with a 17x8 +45. if you go with a 9, I would at least do a slight roll and relocate the bumper tab to prevent anything from happening when hitting a huge dip at highway speeds.

That'd be a good question for ntenseone. He ran the Blitz 01 wheels for a while and has RPF-1s now although I don't recall exactly what widths.

215/45/17 front
255/40/17 rear

Unless you want to up the size in the front to a 225 which is also a good choice.

My Blitz 8/9 +45 worked well with no rubbing, my Enkei 7.5 +49/9 +35 needed modification to only the rear.

Blitz 01! I feel like the Enkei RIP1s are getting a little overplayed.
