so i have an opportunity to pick up a set of BBS for real cheap. the specs are:

17x8 and 17x9 +45 all around. the offsets somewhat worry me.

im lowered on eibachs which is about 1 inch

the tires i have to mount are 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. eventually i'd like to go 255 on the rear...

im getting mixed answers on what needs to be done to make the rims fit (ie aggressive alignment, fender rolling etc. )

comments are welcome

the tires seem skinny for 8s and 9s, but I know people like the stretched look.

 

I wanna hear the input too...

 

roll the rears and cut the bumper tab....a lot of the rpf1 guys run this setup. and the tire size is just fine. Contact people that have rpf1s and ask them what they had to do.

my friend has the same specs he's lowered on s techs... BUT he's running 215/45/17 245/40/17... he has no rubbing issues and he's yet to set his camber....?!?!?

 

I am a proud owner of a set of RPF1. I am a strong believer of be safe than sorry. So I will tell you my specs and you can take it from there.

My rears has evey fender mod possible. Roll, cut some of the rear bumper, also re-locate bumper tab.

I do have 17x9 +45 with a -2.5 camber, also i have my tires tucked as a drop.

 

17x9 +45 in rear with fender roll and -3 camber or so in the rear! N cutting the bumper or relocation of the bumper tad. Here is a picture.

Best I could find:

 

can u just hammer the bumper tabs in? or do u have to relocate it? because im having the exact same problems with mine.
