Default 17x9 rpf1's

Ive looked around. Couldn't find the answer im looking for.

Will a set of 17x9 +40 fit the fronts? I know I shouldn't have a prob in the rear but worried about the front rubbing. Fenders have already been rolled, all around. Front tires are the stock size 225- rears are 245/45's. Any issues?

i'm currently running 17X9 +40 and 255/40 tires with rolled fenders + HKS Hypermax (lowered 2 inches) and there is no rubbing while driving...

It does tend to rub when i'm doing a big U-turn but I think its the tires rubbing on the inside wheel well some place and not necessarily against the fenders...

That's a sweet looking s2, btw I'm a lot more slammed, of you where to drop your car more would the rear rub/hit the rear fender? In the pic it looks really close.

You're gonna need to roll and flare those fenders. Looks like you have some front bias too...how come?
