Haha, I see "rynberg" got you to change your mind about those S2000 wheels, eh?

Regarding the FN01Rs in those sizes, you'll want a +43 offset front and rear, and 235/40 and 265/35 in tires (respectively).

Now, will it rub? Hard to say. With proper wheel and tire sizing and a stiff enough suspension you shouldn't, but change any of the variables and you may well.

For fender rolling, see here and here.

Speedking is exactly right about the offsets and tire sizes. Your tire sizes are too wide for those wheel widths.

These wheels are a much better choice! Light and not bad looking either, with enough width to improve grip.

Yeah I'd choose 255/40-17 for 9 x 17 FN01R-Cs in 43 mm offset. The S-03s are a tad wider than usual, so go with P-Zero Asimmetricos.

Should be able to run 9.5 x 18 all around with 265/35-18 P-Zero Asimmetricos. Depends on your spring stiffness, spring drop, negative wheel camber, and wheel offset (which should be 45 mm or greater).
