Default Thinking about getting new wheels

Hey guys. I'm due for new tires so I figure I might as well get some new wheels, too! Right now I'm thinking gold RPF-1s. Overused I know, but I like 'em and they are within my budget.

Fronts 17x8 +45
Rears 17x9 +45

I'm dropped about 1 inch right now.

From what I'm reading, I'm going to need my fenders rolled. Do you guys think anything else will be necessary? I've never purchased aftermarket wheels in my life.

Anyway, can anyone in Tucson roll fenders? I'd rather not rape my own fenders unless it is really as easy as a lot of people say it is.

you will probably have to roll the rears a little and the fronts more so even with only runnign 225s, im running the s2k fitment te-37s with 255 in the back +67 offset (no rolling) and 225s in the front +57 and still had to roll the fronts quite a bit due to rubbing, my fenders sit about the top of the tire for comparison in ride height

just out of curiosity, if on a stock height, does it need any fender rolling?

Stock height you MAY need fender rolling depending on the tire sizes you choose. Here is 17x9+35 w/ nt05 255/40/17, rolled and pulled front and rear. You also may need to relocate your rear bumper tabs.

Not sure how much lower I am, probably about .75", just lowered it to make the control arms flat.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I'll keep these guys in mind if nobody in Tucson is able to do it.

Tucson-folk! Know anyone in Tucson that can perform the rolly-roll?
