Got these few days ago. Fronts didn't fit with the 255 RS-3 but I wasn't gonna buy skinnier tires just to make them fit. Plus, I'll go more aggressive in near future anyway so I got dirty and made them fit.

Fronts did not fit when I put them on:


And now they fit after 1.5 hours of putting some work in:

Anyone here running 17x8 +45 All Around? Tried using the search function but theres soo many posts i couldnt find much..lol

I ask because i found a set of rpf1s..17x8+45 all around for cheap..but i really want to go with a non-staggard 17x8 and 17x9+45 all around..so im trying to decide if i should go for it or not and which one will look better..

will there be much of a difference in "look" between the 17x8+45 and 17x9+45 in the rear? as in deepness and "lip" wise?lol

Huge difference. There are several pictures on the front page that show a 8/9 staggered setup that clearly show the difference. 8" +45 has convex spokes that come out even with the lip, good for brake clearance but not for looks.
