Another Fitment thread
Sorry to beat a dead horse guys, all the research I'm doing by myself is leaving doubts and confusion, I'll try and make it as clear as possible.
My car, 2002 AP1
I like these wheels (PF01 17x8 +50)
http://www.amazon.com/Enkei-PF01-Sil...f01+17x8+%2B50
Now the question's
1)Is 17x8 a good wheel size to run all around?
2)With the offset set at 50, what is the max tire size you suggest I can run (F/R) (STAG/NONSTAG)
-(Reading the fitment guide thread, I should be able to clear 255 on the rears on a 8 inch rim with 50 offset, but that is the bear minimum is that okay?)
-(If I wanted to run 255's all around how much work would I need to do to the fronts, or am I better off running 245s for peace of mind?)
-(are STAGGERED TIRES safe to run on NON-STAGGERED WHEELS?)
-(If I were to run NON-STAGGERED WHEELS AND TIRES would a thicker FSB be essential?)
Hope I was clear as possible and thanks in advanced!

1) It's okay...but I'd run at least 8.5"s or higher imho because you can fit 255s w/ proper sidewall geometry
2) See Wheel Fitment Guide in the stickies
3) Why dont you just go with the 17x9 +60s?
4) Yes...it's safe, but not preferable for performance reasons
5) Yes, a FSB would be necessary to tame the oversteer potential
6) Stick with a numbering scheme

The 17X8 all the way around will work. If you are going to run wider rear tires I would go with the 17X9 in the rear. No need to keep the wheel width the same if you run the wider tires on the back. If I can help let me know.

Slight revive. So I pulled the trigger on rpf-1s 17x9 +45 all around with a 255 tire.
From all the research, I'm on a stock suspension, so to fit my setup I would need to roll the fenders and run a mildly agressive camber right?

I agree with RedCelica. PM me if you'd like a quote on the PF01s
