Thumbs up RPF1

I am not lowered YET! Thinking on getting the RPF1's in, 17x7.5 Front and 17x8 on the back. Do I have to roll and are these good tire sizes for them? Front 205/50ZR17 and Back 225/45ZR17. They are Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole. Thanks for your help, I just got my S and I am trying to get into these import world and I heard that these rims are good.

personally, i would never stick 225/45/17 in the rears...
if you are trying to go the conservative route (meaning you are not willing to mess with you fenders to fit wide wheels/tires) i would steer away from these wheels. these wheels are meant to be aggressive and i only recommend going with a 17x9 in the rears. problem with that is the fact that the 17x9 only comes with +45 offsets. you need to do some fender work. i personally love it and am rocking these wheels.

oh and i would REALLy recommend sticking either 245's or 255's in the back. but then, that's just me.

Wait, last time I checked I thought you didn't have to do any fender work if you run 17x8/9 +45 all around.. well as long as you're not lowered too much that is.
