Default How Aggressive Can I Go?

How aggressive can I go on my AP1 without modding my fenders?
Im also wanting a slight stretch to my tires, nothing major but some stretch.

So, what size wheel/tires?


Im a noob when it comes to wheels/tires.

I've seen a few people run 18x8+45 and 18x9+45 without rubbing and no rolled fenders, BUT you will need camber and conservative tire sizes.

Also, depends on how low you wanna go... The lower you go the more camber you'll need to not rub with the same tire sizes.

Basically the higher you are the less rubbing you'll have, the skinnier your tires the less rubbing you'll have, and the more camber well you get it

Yes, if you stick with offsets +50 or higher.

At stock offsets, that sounds about right. I'll be curious where you got a 17x10 with a 60mm+ offset though.

Highest Offsets I can find for Rota Torque:

FRONT: 17 x 8 | 5 x 114.3 | +48
REAR: 17 x 9 | 5 x 114.3 | +35

Would these fit without fender mods?
Maybe with some tire stretch?
