Default 17x9 +45 non staggered

I'm seriously looking into getting 17 x 9 +45 non staggered on my stock height S2k. I've looked all 19 pages of Wheel and Tires section but couldn't find an answer.

Is it possible? I will probably run it on my stock height and eventually lower the car a little bit in the future and roll the fenders as I lower the car because I know 17x9 won't fit when the car is lowered.

I just want to know if I can just run it without rolling for now.

thanks in advance!

I have 17x8.5 + 45's all the way around with a 1" drop and do not rub except for large changes in the road surface that fully compress the suspension. No fender rolling.

Why do you want to go nonstaggered? If you're competing at the track or autoX, I can see it, but otherwise I don't think it's worth it.

You should be able to run 215/245 on 17x7.5 +45 17x9 +45 without rolling, and probably 255s in back.

It will fit fine. My buddy was running 17x9 +44 all around on stock height but 225/45/17 tire in the front and had no rubbing issues.

just run staggered tires. 235 in front 255 in the rears. but if ur gonna go low, roll ur fenders, trim ur bumper, relocate your rear tab.
roll the fronts too if you must. its not that hard to do. and it looks gangsta!!
