No, that's 17x9 +45.

Here's a link to a guy running 18x9 +35 front and 18x10 +38 rear. Won't be able to run proper tire sizes though unless you have body work.

Just wondering if anyone is running 17x9 +45 front and 17x10 +38 rear. Curious to see what tire sizes/fender work is needed.

Not sure where all this interest in a 10in rear is coming from lol. 9 +45 is really the ideal setup for RPF1s.. you can run 255 with just a roll and camber, and it's flush with the body. If you want to go for a 10in rear with proper tire sizes the offset should at least be in the 50's. A 10 +38 is going to stick out an EXTRA 20mm from a 9 +45. If you have over fenders in mind then that's a different story.

Here's a pic of 9 +45 all around with 245/255 staggered tires.

You could do 235/40, 245/40 with good fender roll and some negative camber. Probably need a decent pull in the rear to run 255/40.

The issue is the offset, not the diameter. There really is no difference between 17/18 fitment if you run proper diameter tires. The low offset keeps you from running wide tires. As in the link shown, he had to run 215/225 to fit those 18" specs you listed.

Good post. For those that want something slightly more aggressive in rear, 9" +35 or 9.5" +38 can work as well although will be a tight fit with a 255 tire.

Ah yeah good suggestions. If you want to stagger concave face RPF1's then you can go with a 9 +45 front and 9 +35 or 9.5 +38 in the rear. You're pretty much limited to running a 245 max in the back though. The extra work for a 255 won't pay off imo. With a 9 +45/35 combo you can do 245 all around and with a 9 +45 / 9.5 +38 combo I would suggest 235 / 245 stagger, because a 245 would be flush on the 9" and would look off with the stretch on the 9.5"

Quoting this since there seem to be quite few fitment questions lately. This is 9" +45 front, 9.5" +38 rear with 235/40, 245/40. I would not try to run 255 rear with these specs, looks like he had to run quite a bit negative camber even with 245. IMO it is a nice compromise between flush/function though.

I have 9.5 +38 all around. Using Dunlop Z1 235/40/17 front and 245/40/17 rear. I believe my rear camber is at -2.8. Front is -2.6
