Default 17x9.5 +38 on the rear

What would I need to do to fit these wheels on the rear using a 245/40 tire?

Thanks guys

Nick

Depends on your ride height, but you should be able to get by with just a fender roll.

I have my rear fender cut, so that should take care of that. Now I just need to find them for a good price.

If you are lowered you will need give or take, -2 camber. I have 17x9s +38mm and needed a -2 camber & this is with 235/45s in rear. If you aren't lowered you can put anything on. LOL

Had the rpf1's in that size/offset w/ 245/40 tires almost 2 years ago. Here's what I had to do to make them fit...

cut rear fenders, ran -4 to -4.5 camber in the rear.

(car was lowered about 2 inches)

Here's a pic,

I have 17x9.5 +39 in the rear with a 245 tire and I'm way to low for my own good and I only have 3.8 degrees of camber.

Check my build thread for lot of pictures of this set up. I also have a lot more I can do as far as rolling my rear fenders but I hardly ever rub so I don't want to mess with it.
