Do they do 255/40?

You're better off going a bit wider than change the diameter

255/45 in T1R's, but the Toyo R888 semi slicks come in the correct fitment, altough they're adding another £200 in costs for those :S

do I have to roll my front fenders with this setting:

Front: CE28N 7.5x17 +50 with 10mm H&R DRS Spacers = offset of 40
Tires: 215/45 R17

Currently lowered to approx. 13 inches (33cm) no rubbing issue. How much lower can I go until it would start to rub? Do not want to do any fender work in the front... but i want to go a bit lower. Hope someone can post some useful infos.

I reckon the exhaust will be rubbing on the road if it's been lowered 13 inches

They will be fine Th0R

LOL Chris I meant 33cm (13 inches) measured from fender to center of the wheel

@Doyal
so I will be fine if I set my coilovers to say maybe 12.8 inches in the front? Def. no rubbing issues with offset 40?

Thanks

Floppy + others

Thinking of buying Enkei RPF1

Front:
17 x 8 +45 / 73 / 5x114.3

Rear:
17 x 9 45 / 73 / 5x114.3

I have read what Flops has said and figure tyre wise:

Front: 17x8+45 with a 215/45/17 tyre
Rear: 17x9+48 with a 245/40/17 tyre

Question 1: Will these wheels in the above sizes with the above stated tyre size fit without the need to roll arches and not rub?

Question 2: Is the width of the wheels a good choice (8 and 9) or is there a better width.

Question 3: What wheel width + tyre dimensions would give me the max amount of grip?

Sorry I am a little nunce like regarding tyres.

I am looking to buy the same configuration as above.

Rears will rub depending on the camber, but it should be easily achievable to avoid rubbing.

9" width RPF1 are nicer in my opinion with a deeper dish, however, I like the look of staggered width wheels too (take a look at pictures and you will see the difference between the front ones and the rear ones in many of the s2k examples)

I like to have a bit more front end grip and I´d go for a 225/45 on the front taking into account that tyres are nearly the same price. In the rear you can also try to fit 255/40 but 245/40 are a good match. Beyond 255 you won´t really increase the grip in a direct proportion so I´d stick to 225/45 and 245/40 or 255/40

Thanks for the responce, I have no plans on running sill camber, I will hopefully be using the OEM geo calibration.

Floppy

I'm not sure what the 73 bit means but the rest seems realistic. You'll probably need to deviate slightly from OEM with geo specs though and at a guess 1.25 deg neg camber front and 1.75 rear. If they rub on the rear I'd guess it'll be more likely to be the bumper rather than the arch as the grub screw that holds the bumper half way along the arch area can rub your tyre when you go over bigger bumps if you have plenty of tread depth left.
