This is a very good observation. I've been wondering the same thing for months. It's actually worse on the official RPF1 thread. Tire sizes, specs, etc are like on the first 4pages, and the same questions come up 100 pages later...

Look authentic to me as well. He doesnt look to be running enough camber for those to be 9+22. Maybe 9.5 +35....
They kind of look like 18's so it would be 18x9.5 22, if they were 17's it wouldbe 17x9 22. TE's do not concave at 9.5 35, only CE does for some reason.

I have a question...

Flared my front fenders more last night and put the 9.5" +38 with a 245 upfront and it still has about 10-15mm clearance with only -2 camber, so I may even add a 10mm or 15mm spacer upfront later down the road making the rim 9.5" +23!!!!

I'm putting my 9.5" 245/40 up front and upgrading my rears. Imdebating doing a 17x10" +18 which is 25mm more aggressive outer position with either a 265/40/17 or 275/35/17 or a 18x10.5" +15 which is 36mm more aggressive outer position with a 265/30/18 or a 275/25/18. Were going to flare the stock body to fit the wheel set up but I'm debating if I should go staggered size, width, and offset or if I should stay 17" all around... Opinions welcome!!

staggered wheel size is much less common and has lots of potential to look dope.

As others have said before me nobody reads. They just come straight in here without looking at what is possible and think that their fitments are really aggressive and need a ton of body work

Sounds about right cause I am 255/40/17 9.5 +28 so if you are gonna be 9.5 +23 with a 245 in a perfect world your tire should have 5mm more clearance on the outer edge allowing you to run the +23.


As far as rear goes you are gonna be doing some massive pulling to get those sizes to fit with those tires or you will need aftermarket camber joints. I am 9.5+28 in the rear max stock camber and my fender is pulled and there is no way I could fit those sizes with those big tires.

Even with camber joints, that 17x10 +18 rear won't fit unless you pull a ton.
