I know this probably has been answered but my browser is acting up and I can't seem to search this 360 page thread, anyone who is in the know on this thread can tell me if 245\40 front and 275\40 rear will fit on 17x8 +45 front and 17x9 +45 rear with stock ride height and some negative camber? I've rolled the front and trimmed the rear. I really appreciate it, now I'm going to try and fix my browser issue as i almost always try to find the answer by searching first. Thanks!

Thanks El S2000 and OICU812! Evo, that setup and pics look fantastic. Here's a couple pics I took last night.

Hey all,
Did some reading in various threads and thought I'd ask the question here. I need new rubber for MY03 AP1, I figure it's a good time to upgrade to a 17", I initially wanted 18's but some gold RPF1's would be solid. Being in Calgary, there isn't much locally used, especially in s2k spec as I'd like to go staggered.
A set of 17x8 +45 have popped up a few hours away, in gold. They come with bridgestone potenza 225/45/17 and have a little over half life left. My thought is once it's time to replace them, I'd put 245's out back, I might even do it shortly after buying them.
I'm stock ride height, and it'll stay that way. The roads here are too bad. I'd rather not roll my fenders, although I think relocating the rear bumper tab will be needed no matter what. Would I be able to run these for the time being without any rubbing? Even after putting 245's on the rear? I know square rims and staggered tires aren't ideal, but it's almost local which doesn't come up often.
Thanks!

I'm gonna go with the same setup... 9 in front does look better but aside from fender clearance I also want room for big brakes in the future.
