Default RPF01 on ap1

Can anyone please tell me if rpf01's fronts 17x8 +45 with 225/45 tyres and rear 17x9 +45 with 245/45 tyres will have some rubbing issues? The s2k will be lowered around 1 inch. thanks

I believe you would want to run 225/45 and 245/40/17 in the rear and being lowered 1 inch I doubt that you will have any issues as far as fitment goes.

Wouldn't 255's have at least as good a shot of fitting in back as 225s would up front?
225/45-17 fronts with 245/40-17 rears looks kinda off (big fronts/little rears look).

I'd probably go with OEM AP2 sizes: 215/45-17 front, 245/40-17 rears.
With rolled fenders, 225/255 shouldn't be a problem at all. Or even 235/40-17 fronts.
