ordering my wheels
I am going to be ordering my wheels this week. They are iforged. I am going 17x8 +45 and 17x9.5 in the rear +38. My tire size is 225 up front and 245 in back(I know they will be stretched in the rear) I am going to be running on tein flex with an agressive drop and my fenders are rolled. My question is will I rub the rears if I have a negative camber. And my question for the fronts is can I go with a little bit more aggressive of a lip without rubbing as long as my fenders are rolled?
And I would have gone by 9 in the rear but iforged only offers by 7,8, or 10. Or they affer by 9.5 with a step lip.

Damn that is aggressive. That is a crap load of money to be dropping on rims that do not fit correctly.
I placed the order. They are 17x8 +35 in the front and 17x9.5 +38. Same offset as another member with rpf1s. This car is going to be a very clean s2k when I finish. I just installed my stereo this last weekend. (JL Stealth box, custom shelf in spare tire location for amps which are both alpine, alpine component speakers in the doors, and alpine ida-x100 head unit). Ill post pics once wheels are in and installed

Take a properly fitting volk wheel as an example. 9" wide with a 63 mm offset. It sits about 10mm give or take from flush. You are going to run a 38mm offset on 9.5 inch rim which is going to push it out much further. When I was running a 51 mm offset with a 9" and 255's it was slightly sitting outside the fender on stock height and alignment. You are going to need a serious stretch, rolled/pulled fenders and massive camber to make these fit without rubbing. Maybe it is the look you want but it is not for everyone. Be curious to see how it looks when done.
Do you have a link to the other person who is running RPF1's in the same size and offset?

Just did a quick lookup and you are going to be pushed out 19 more mm then a 51 offset on a 9" wheel, an extra 31 mm on a 63 offset and afaik the RPF1 that everyone is using has a 45mm offset and you will be 13mm further pushed out then those.
