Tire/rims size for lowered ap1 with BBK
Hi guys,
I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I'm having a very hard time finding an answer to my specific questions.
What I'm trying to do is, find a tire/rim combo that will fit a big brake kit, is able to run a 245 or 255 square set up on a 17 inch rim, and also work with KW v3 coilovers. I know I will have to roll my fenders and relocate my bumper tab. My goal is performance as this vehicle is not my daily driver. Any rim suggestions with specific size and offset would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance.

The part that makes this most difficult limiting your options is your desire to run a square set up. If the only perquisite was a BBK then it would offer a few more options. Wheels for this car are already hard enough.
For example, the Enkei RPF1 comes in a convex face 8.5" +40 that will clear any BBK on the market, it will also fit in the rear, however its only 8.5" wide which technically would accommodate a 255, but not ideal, and would require slight pull of the fenders. Also not many care for the look of the convex face in the rear of the car. If you were to run the optional concave face 9 +45 with the 255, and then go with the 8.5 +40 with 245 up front, that would work excellent.

I run TSW Interlagos 17x9 +63 all around with 255s. Only requires a fender roll in the front. Not sure about BBK compatibility though. My car is not slammed, but lowered on Ohlins DFV with offset ball joints and ~3° of negative camber.
