Wheel Fitment Guide
^Agreed. 17X8 is narrow for the rear. The Sizes Cody recommended could still be problematic since you are lowered. The front can be risky. Honestly I would find a set of OEM AP2 wheels and call it a day in your situation. If aftermarket is a must for some reason look at the Enkei PFO1 as they offer high enough offsets in a 17 to run a 8 front 9 rear stagger and not need rolling.
17x8 +48 is bad sizing for all around IMO.
On the Allegrita HLT, they do a 17x7.5 +48 and 17x8.5 +59, that would work nicely, though I'd run a 215/45/17 up front and 245/40/17 in the back (OEM AP2 sizing). 225/255 wouldn't be beneficial on wheels that narrow.
I'm fairly confident the sizing I recommended doesn't require rolling fenders, but someone else confirming that could be helpful..all of the wheels I've used on my cars have required significant rolling.

and why not go to bigger sizes with allegrita ?i was thinking if i go that rim to go all 4 on 8.5 and run staggered but i do listen to people who know more art this then me. this is my current daily so i wanna change just bcs i would like smoother ride quality . im on my second s2k first one was on stock ap2 wheels lowered with springs and it was smoother ride
Thanks fro the replay TsukubaCody , if you do not mind to elaborate a bit for a newby here why 17x8 will not be good all around even with the stock size tires ?

OEM AP1 wheels would be the smoothest ride option

sorry Manga i didn't see your answer .I am going for looks and functionality but Pf01 do not hit my buttons . I do not want to brake the bank or i would go with ce28 . so ultalaggera is of the table due to being to narrow .I read from one of the follow owners that had allegrita that 8.5 all around with 59offset will not rub even lowered?he had some rubbing on 225 front on 8/49offset .
And to ask another question to help me out a bit ,is there any beneficials of going up in width 215 to 225 and 245 to 255?im really new to all this even though this is my second s2k but my old man always said there is no dumb questions
thanks y'all for patience

Then you have the width of the tires and your alignment specs will determine what will fit and what won't. There is no hard set rule on width and offset. The shape of the spokes can cause one wheel to hit and one to clear even in the same width and offset. Negative camber and the specific tire also plays into it as well. So I would use these sizes and offsets as a starting point. Especially when you are pushing the envelope..
I have read through this thread a good bit and I did get a bit of an answer but on a different wheel and tire size.
Without rolling & tab relocating for a 245/40R17 tire square would a 17x9 +60 PF1 work without rub?
I see more about the +45 offset
I was considering AP2v1 Rear wheels square +5mm spacer up front for the same tires to be able to rotate them.
I'm having the Upper control arm welds strengthened right now since AP1s have been known to have issues there & good friend is a quality welder who likes cheap beer.

There isn't a +60 rpf1 to my knowledge. Do you mean the PF01? Do you plan on lowering the car? 17x9 +60 generally is safe but you do need to watch the front fender lips especially on a lowered car. The rears fit fine without mods.
And I do plan on adding coilovers but I can always adjust for the wheels.
