Default Buddyclub p1 fitment help

anybody have experience with these sizes? i have an AP1 dropped about 1" on eibach pro kit.

17x8 +45 front
17x9 +40 rear

I plan to use 215/45 front and 235/40 rear tires. The previous owner cut the rear fenders/bumper and ran 17x8.5 +42 with a 245 tire in the rear with no rubbing on a 1.5" drop. Do you think I will have issues rubbing without more fender work??

If your rear fender is already modified I would run either a 245 or 255 out back

I would stay with the 245/40R17 tires. You are going to be running a 1/2" wider wheels and a little lower offset which is pushing the wheels to the fenders more. You may need a little negative camber but with the fender work that has already been done that should do it.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

i may stick with the 235 since they are already on the wheels. i'm not sure the extent of the cut so i don't know if i want to risk putting on 245s quite yet with the wider rear and lower offset. will i have any problems in the front?

+1 on the 245/40/17 in the rear. You will be fine with that size and offset as long as your fenders are rolled and bumper tab relocated.
