Need pics of 17x9 +45 running 255/40 all around! I've seen a few guys mention it but can't seem to find any good pics.

I know everyone says just run a 245/40 up front or even 225/45 but it sure would be nice to rotate your tires when needed, especially with track use.

I know a roll/slight pull with -2 or more camber would be needed in front. I just wanna make sure it doesn't look too ridiculously fat.

Really starting to look at wheels/tires since tax season is coming up. Think 17x8/18x9.5 is too much stagger?

Go for it Fernando, it will be awesome and you won't be disappointed.


Drake, honestly I would do the 17x9 +45 up front. Anything less than 9" the spokes of the RPF1 start to look convex and it looks kinda ugly, IMO. With the 9" the spokes are nice and straight. If you google images of setups less than 9" in width you'll see what I mean. Or, just look through this thread on some of the earlier posts. I know I saw a few setups when I went through all the pages. And yes, I do know his tire sizes. Up front he was running a 225/40/17 and the rear was a 245/40/18.

17x9 +45 square on 245/40/17 atm. Plenty of room for 255 square.

Rolled totally flat and flared about 15 mm? Kept oem look though. Rear bumper tab also relocated.

Okay, not a minor job
Don't want to modify my fenders to make RPF1 fit...

Where did you get them ? (RPF1),
I'm in Europe too. (and the Mugen Top too )


I thought SBC looked more shiny, but it looks really great !
But I'll still go black or paint them bronze.
Mine is Moonrock too, 2cm lowered (0.8 inches)

Tbh I didn't need to flare them to make them fit. I just thought I would so it widens my options for other wheels in the future. My front camber is only like -1 degree so very conservative even though 9j on front.

A flat roll would suffice. Rpf1s are such a great wheel especially on an s2000.got the wheels from cyberspace.com
Black or bronze would look great on moonrock.


Hardtop is from the states. Its from Rockstar Garage.
