Ok then you basically need AP2 oem offsets and widths or close to it. Again many of the brands I listed have wheels that are in the 17x8 17x9 +60ish range. Enkei PF01 or TSW Nurburgring are popular are probably among the cheaper options.

Hi all, I did some research but can't seem to find enough information. I am lowered 1" all around. I really don't want to roll my fenders. I am interested in getting a set of PF01 17x8 +50 front and 17x9 +60 rear using Starspec stock size tires (215/45/17 f and 245/40/17 r). The Starspec 215/45/17 has an 8.2" tread width, much wider than the 6.7" of the stock Bridgestone. Will this setup fit without a roll? Thanks.

You should be ok but keep an eye on the fronts for signs of rubbing. First place to show signs is the little tabs but if it rubs through its the little lip that can be the danger.

One more question, if it rubs, does it rub on the tire tread when the wheel is turned and the suspension is compressed?

Yeah. The tire can run through the liner and grab that little lip.

Need some help:

Car has stock fenders, prefer NOT to roll them, came to me on Eibach Pro Plus lowering springs (~1" drop according to the seller) and is currently on OEM AP1 rims.

I was hoping to run 225/??/18s Front 245/??/18s Rear Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z2s F/R

I keep looking at the AP1 reference guide in the OP, and from what I'm seeing, the Rays Engineering Club Sport / Club Sport II won't work since the offset is too low?

RE30 CS II

And this site claims to have Club Sports (v1 I think) listed as S2000 fitment in staggered 18" sizes

18” - 7.5J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +50 RE30
18” - 8.5J - S1 - Pressed Gunmetal - 5H x 114.3 - +52 RE30

For an unbelievably low price ($1800) which makes me question their legitimacy...

Any input from the experts?

215/40/18 front and 245/35/18 rear. You will want to watch the front liners very closely as the could rub. If you see signs of rubbing like missing tabs or wear on the liner roll the front. Rear should be fine. Pretty sure that site is legit but never ordered from them so you'll want to more searching.
