So I'm kinda baffled here, I picked up a set of RPF1's 17x8 w/ 225 front and 17x9 w/ 255 rear. I'm at stock height while I'm waiting for my buddy club coilovers to get here this week so all I'm doing is test fitting these wheels. Yesterday I maxed out the stock camber bolts but still the 255 in the rear sticks out like an inch past the fender. I know that lowering will give me a bit more help with adding some camber but I'm still skeptical that they will fit. I've seen like 100's of people fit these wheels and say with rolled rear fenders they can fit a 255 with like 2.5 neg camber but I'm not seeing it. Can anyone share any insight on if lowering will help add enough camber to make these fit?

Thanks
Jeff

 

What offsets?

 

+45 front and rear

 

Well I have same offset in rear...it does stick out a little...the most important thing is where the highest part of the tire is to determine if it rubs or not. And if you maxed out the camber it might be enough that when it compresses it stays just inside the fender. However, you still may find you need to roll the fenders and relocate the rear bumper tab.

 

Roll the fenders and you should be good.

 

sorry forgot to mention I guess, gettin the rears rolled this weekend and I relocated the tab a few inches back. Even with the roll I still don't see the tire being able to get anywhere inside of the fender

 

I'm pretty sure this is a very normal size that most people run with these wheels.

 

Yeah with that tire size being stock height it will stick out a tad. Once you roll/relocate and go lower itll be a breeze to fit

 

Moving to Wheels and Tires.

 

I have 255's but I'm on a 17x8. At stock height they stuck out quite a bit but now that I'm lowered they stick out a lot less and I'm at about a -2.5 camber and I rub just a little on big bumps. Roll the fenders and you should be golden. Hopefully getting mine done soon.
