Default How would these fit?

Looking for deal on track wheels and found a set of near new rfp1's. The thing is they are (4) +45 offset. How would thesr work? Looking into using 255 rs-3's.

Thank

roll front and roll back fenders, and relocate bumper tab and you are good to go.

I run those exact wheels with Hoosier R6 245x17s and they will rub unless you roll the fenders and move the rear bumper attachment tab to the rear about 1/2 inch. The 245 Hoosiers are about the same width as a normal 255, but I'm not familiar with the RS-3s. These wheels also clear 2 1/2 inch brake duct hose with no rubbing. The +45 will widen your track a little which is good.

17x9's right? I'm running the same exact setup. It is much more aggressive than I was expecting it to be but it works. Fenders rolled, tab relocated, trim rear bumper or let the tire rub the tab til it's gone haha. Which is what I did -3.3 camber front/rear.

For me it was -1.9 front (and that's with a reduction in caster, which is not good) and I never tried to max the rear until I had replaced my rear control arm which allows more camber. My max with just the control arms is -3.0 in the rear. With adjustable ball joints or J's offset ball joints you can go to over -4 front and rear, which is just crazy.
