I just picked up some beautiful black rpf1s in 17x9 +45 specs. Running 245/40 tires all around.

I can see that the rears line up just at the edge o the body, and will need a little camber to tuck them back in a tad. The front do stick out a bit, so I know I'll need some camber there too.

I just don't know how much. I haven't touched the car since I purchased it and it's still on the factory alignment right now. Can anyone recommend good specs to go by so these don't rub? I should mention that they have yet to rub after 100 miles of driving in one day, but I have yet to go over any big bumps or dips and from the looks of it I think they will rub.

Should I roll the inside of the fenders as well? I don't think they will need a pull.

Also I have no plans to drop the car. I want to stay with my stock suspension set up.

All help appreciated.

 

At stock height I use the same wheels you do. I have 235 615's up front and 255 out back. I have NEVER rubbed EVER, front of rear. I think at stock height the rears are just fine, and the front will probably rub every now and then but nothing too bad. I would roll the fronts and add -1 of camber over what you have now.

 

if you corner aggressively you will rub for sure

i had 17x9 +54 in the front and i think with 245 and my fender clips were all gone.
255 was scarier to drive on

 

-2 in the front
-3 in the rears

 

I had to correct my post, i apologize. it's 245 tires all around...sorry for the typo.

remember though im at stock height...is that much camber really needed. I am not stratching now as it is with a stock alignment. I just want to be safer.

 

You probably couldn't even get that much negative camber if you wanted to at stock height. I'd run UK spec, -1 front and -2 rear. You might want a touch more negative camber in the front and you should consider bending the fender liner tabs up. If the tire catches the tab, usually happens when it is turned and fully compressed, it will pull your fender out. The rear will be fine, no issues.

 

thanks. I'll bend the tab portion up and away to prevent that from happening.
