Default 17x9 +22 Wheel

Im looking at getting some rpf 1's in 17x9 +22. My question is will i have to go hellaflush? Im going for a good flush look but not to the point of hella flush. Also im thinking of running 225 series tire, opionions? If any one has pictures of this setup or a simialr setup it would help me out.

Thanks

Yep, prepare to be flushed.

9.5 +38 and the 8.5 +40 is as far as I went. This is more aggressive then the typical 9/8 +45 which is still quite a bit more aggressive then stock mind you. Anything under +38 and your camber will be all jacked and going through tires like crazy. +22 is ridiculous territory.

You can save yourself headache by going with this popular setup which requires a little bit of modification:

17x8 +45 225/45 front
17x9 +45 255/40 rear

Also check out this thread which could help answer questions.

Thanks guys! i'll most likely be going with a less agressive offset then, i dont want to go through the hassle of doing major fender work.

If you want aggressive without headaches and hellaflush you can go 17x9+45 up front, 17x9.5+38 rear.

17x9 +22 will be super aggressive on a stock body s2k. Im running 17x9 +22 x4 Ce28s with 255/40/17 RS-3 with J's Racing front fenders(40mm wider) and ASM rear over fenders(25mm wider)

I could probably fit a 315 with higher offset CCW wheels. Tempted to go that route to see if I can get traction at full throttle.
