Thumbs up Need to find rpf1 setup.

Will that require crazy work to fit? I would like a 9.5+45 for the rear but I can't find that offset available for the 9.5 rpf1.

Would ideally like 17x9+35 or 38 in the front and then 17x9.5+45 for the rear.

I want to run 225/45/17 for the front and 265/40/17 for the rear.

Or would a 17x9+35 or +45 for the rear be ok for a 265 tire?

I am lowered about 2". Rolled all around and have -2.5 rear camber and -1.5 in the front.

Does that sound doable? Do they have the offsets I couldn't find available anyone know?

How low are you? How much camber are you running? And what size tires?

That would be a really odd setup. I would run 17x9+45 in the front and 17x9.5+38 in the rear. Or even the 17x9.5+38 all 4 corners with a staggered tire setup.

^ I'm a noobie when it comes to wheel specs and all.


So would the 17x9+45 in the front with a 225/45 tire
and 17x9.5+38 with a 265 tire work? Or would I need to use a 255 only to fit?

The 265 on the back will work but you will need to roll fenders and relocate bumper tabs. I had 17x9+45 all the way around with 255/40r17 and I still had to roll the rear fenders and relocate the bumper tabs. And I was also running -4 camber in the rear and -2.8 in the front.

Edit I seen you have fenders rolled already. If your bumper tab is relocated and the fenders are rolled all the way flat you should be fine, just run a bit more negative camber. If thats not an option for you I would stick with the 255

You really had to run that much negative camber with the 255 on the 17x9? Thought that was a pretty standard size people ran.
Are you slammed or anything?

Ya, Im sitting Pretty low. Top of the tire is just barely tucked. Im pretty sure I could have ran less camber but I was preparing myself for the new rims I have now.

I would get something different than the 17x9 +35. IIRC, the 17x9 +35 convex's?! and the Other size Concave's.

The 17x9.5 +38 is a pain in the butt fit with a 255/40/17 Either way you're going to need to roll fenders and relocate the tabs/lining.

I want the concave rpf1's I think.
So maybe just 17x9+45 all around.

Would love to be able to rock 225 front and 265 rear.
Definitely don't want to have more than -3 camber in the rear and -1.8 or so in the front.
