Default 245/275 setup with RPF1

Does anyone have any experience running a 245/275 setup?

I've tried searching without much success...

I'm looking at 17x7.5 +48 and 17x9 +45 RPF1s.

What searching HAS revealed is that the I may be rubbing due to tire size and a 255 would be okay on the rears with fender rolling.


My ideal setup would be 245/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear. The reasoning behind this is to gain grip for daily driving, while keeping (relative) costs down. The tires I have in mind are Kumho XS.

I really wish the offsets are higher on the rear

Also, how much would the speedometer be off with the 275 rear?


If this is not a viable option without minimal work, then I'll wait for 949racing's wheels

your probably going to rub unless you get something with a higher offset and as for the speedometer, it isn't really how wide the tire is, its the overall diameter that throws off the speedometer...

You will rub with those offsets and tire sizes. I don't think the amount of work needed would be considered "minimal" to make them fit either.

Here is what the Wheel Fitment Guide says.
245 tires: +63 offset minimum (7.5
