Default offsets for rpf1s

I am going to be lowered alot. When my coilvoers come in. Now here is the question. I see people with some crazy offsets. I only have rolled fenders. I was thinkin 17x9 all the way around, what offsets can i go with for no rubbing? i know i ask alot of questions, but this is the place for it. I seen a pic of an s2k in fl the other day i believe in FL doin a cannonball run. He had nice offsets. Cant seem to find it tho. Let me know

With rolled fenders only, you'll only be able to run a 17x9 +45 on the rear. I had the 17x8' +45 on the front with very minor modification (had to bend in the fender tabs after the tire grabbed it), but I traded them to run 17x9 +45 all around. The front fenders will need to be flared or replaced with wider aftermarket fenders to fit them.

Did you relocate your bumper tab? I am running a lot lower than +45 in the rear and I don't rub whatsoever on a 9" wheel.

Just roll your fenders and pull the fronts slightly and you will be good to go. 9+45 is easy to fit.

how do you pull the fronts? (noob question), so 9+45 is easy to fit all the way around?

not to thread jack but i figured it'd be good to post in this thread since it's the same/similar topic...

i just picked up a set of 17x8, 17x9 +45 offset all around. I'll be lowered on eibach prokit (so about 1" drop). I know i can likely get away with running the oem tire sizes without rubbing or rolling fenders but I was considering going up to a 225/255 tire setup. Does anyone have any idea how this would fit or what it would take to fit on an S lowered only an inch? specifically stock shocks + eibach prokits.

I ran the exact same setup with tein s-techs. With oem alignment, I rubbed on the rear and the front rubbed every now and then on the bumper tabs...until one day on a steep driveway, the tire caught one of the tabs. You should be fine if you roll your fenders and relocate the rear bumper tab.
