In my experience, I did not need to roll my fenders on stock height with RPF1s 17x9 +45 245/40 on stock at all four corners on a CR suspension with stock CR alignment. It will rub on the rear tab, but that can be relocated. Hope that helps.

Most guys run these with a car lower than stock. As VR has stated, it is known that when you are lowered you have to roll.

I have had 225/255 on Rpf1 17x8 and 17x9 with stock suspension. It rub the crap out of my car in the rear and in the front. On fwy it was fine, but the minute I hit the track, when the springs are compressed, it rubbed everywhere. The tires I used was brand new RE01R.

This is funny.


@ stock height, you would be hard pressed to make contact, but possible. @ ed's ride height with unmodified fenders, damage its inevitable.

17x9+45 w/255/40 tires, on track alignment is really easy to clear with few fender mods. Once you get into the 40's and 35's its where you start to run into problems, again ride height has a lot to do with it.

If your car has suspension, and is lowered 20-30mm, you will need to only roll, slightly flare your front. Once the lip (the inside part not visible from outside, not the fender line) is rolled, there is nothing for the tire to snag.

In the rear, you will need a slight roll, bumper tab relocation, and some bumper trimming.

its at stock ride height and im running a sfr hollow 1.375 bar. So is 17x9+45 w/255/40 tires all the way around a go? I hate all the mixxed answers! I dont wanna spend $1500 for wheels/tires then them rub and have to find someone to roll my fenders.

"In the rear, you will need a slight roll, bumper tab relocation, and some bumper trimming."

is that needed even on stock ride height?

Not sure with the mix review, I personally tried it. I was told by the guy that sold me the set, saying it would be no problem.
I put it on, took it to the track, ran 1 session and had to stop because it was smoking everywhere from the rubber burning. You are welcome to try it and see if it would do the same to yours
