Default Need RPF1 Staggered Fitment Help

Hey I'm pretty new to tires, wheels, fitment, and s2ki in general, and would greatly appreciate some help in fitting rims and tires to my car. I currently have an all-stock AP1, and would like to move up a few sizes haha. I did look at the fitment guide, but I believe it's for people not willing to roll or flare their fenders.
I'm planning on doing any pulling/rolling/flaring needed, but I'd rather not buy new fenders.


How do you guys think 17x10+38 wrapped in 265/40s on the rear, and 17x9+45 wrapped in 255/40s on the front would work? And if anyone has a setup like this or similar to this, could you add a photo?

Thanks a ton, any help is greatly appreciated

The 17x10 +38 won't fit on a stock s2000 rear especially with a 265. You need to be at +50 for the 10 to fit with a 265. You will need overfenders as you cannot pull the rear enough to fit them.

Look in my build thread. You can see what trying to fit 17x10 +35 with a 255 looks like. 265 isn't possible without overfenders.

Agreed.

The 9 +45 is a fitment you can work with however. The 9.5 +38 is really as aggressive a fitment you can go in the rear with a 255 and still have a livable amount of camber. However it will require you to still flip your tires. The 9 +45 is better. Just too bad they dont offer the 9.5" in a +45 becuase that would be really more idea for a 255 profile fit. 245 is better paired on a 9".

I'm running 18x9.5 +28 rears with 265/35... needed to run Shine over fenders, -3 camber, and I had to shave the bumper lip and tabs as well as the lips of my overfenders to get it to work without rubbing.

^Which sits fairly similar to the 17x10 +38 so yeah they don't fit without doing the overfenders.
