I'm getting ready to order some wheels, tires, and coilovers and after much research have decided on what I'm looking for. I just need to make sure everything will fit well, and from what I've read it seems that I'll be okay.

Here is how the car currently sits on a set of AP2 V2 wheels with 225/45/17R & 255/40/17R tires.



I'm planning on going with a set of Advan RZ's 17x8.0 +37/17x9.0 +45 with Hankook RS3's 225/45/17 F/245/40/17 R, and am shooting for this sort of fitment:



Based on my calculations the front wheels will extend out 30.7mm more, and rears 26.4mm more.

It seems I'm right on the edge of what the stock fenders will accommodate, can anyone confirm that these will fit? If not, would a fender roll be sufficient? Or would some wider fenders be needed?

Many thanks!

 

I would recommend running a 215/45/17 instead of the 225/45/17. It will give you an equal rotational diameter with the rear. As it sits, your front tire will be taller than your rear.

As far as fitment is concerned: no, these will not fit with stock fenders. Both will require a roll, slight pull and some additional negative camber.

 

The car pictured is most likely on 9" +45 all around. I would get the 9" +45 front instead of the 8" +37, outer clearance will be about the same. I'd go 225/45, 255/40 tires. It will fit with a fender roll, no pull necessary.

 

The car in the photo is actually on 17x7.5 +48 (with 20mm spacer, so +28) 215/45 front; 17x9 +45 255/40 rear.

Since I didn't want to run spacers in the front if I didn't have to, I figured out that going from 17x7.5 +48 (with 20mm spacer) to 17x8 +37 is basically equivalent. Only .7mm difference iirc.

I'm positive the front fenders will need a bit of massaging, but it looks like the rears will fit with a slight roll. Any suggestions?

 

There is zero question that it will need a fender roll. Don't even think about putting those wheels and tire on before you have the roll done. It is doable the front may also need a slight pull or more camber. I echo running the 215 first to see how much room you have to play with.

 

Thank you all very much for the feedback!

I decided to order a set of Advan RZII's 17x9.0 +45 on 255/40R/17 Advan AD08R's all around and have the fenders rolled/pulled at Evasive Motorsports' advice.

Very much looking forward to picking up the parts

 

 

Update with pics when they're on

 

Will do! Picking up the parts on the 21st, powder coating the wheels the next day, and then install on the 23rd.

I'll do a proper photo shoot after the holidays...
