Default 255 squared...what fronts will fit?

Looking to order some new wheels since my tires are shot and I want to run 255 RS3s all around. I don't mind rolling my fenders, but I'd rather not pull/flare them.

I've been considering TSW Nurburgrings and Enkei PF01s, 17x9 with +63 and +60mm offsets respectively. I know +45 RPF1s require a flare, but what about +49 17x9 Weds Sport TC105Ns? Am I pushing it too close with the +49 offset? Any other recommendations (not TRM C3, not a fan of the look!)?

Thanks
Matt

You will really need 60+ to fit. If I can help with the wheels and or tires let me know.

I have 17x9 +43 and I had to roll my fenders and maybe a tiny flare. Camber is really what helps. I run 2 degrees up front and they fit fine.

I see you guys are offering discounts on some of the PF01s but not the ones I'm looking for. Any chance I could get a discount on the black painted PF01 17x9 +60s? I'd be ordering a full set with 255 RS3s

I currently run 245 but there is room for a 255.

How much camber are you planning on running? How aggressively are you willing to roll and pull the fenders?

Track guys do it all the time, but we're a... bit more extreme than the average s2k owner.

I ran 255 z1ss in front with 17x9+45 and -2.6* camber.. I needed a good amount of flare to fit them and prevent rubbing at autox/track

I want to run in STR class which only allows a roll inside the fender, no pulling/flaring.
