Wow look at those suckas stick out! Shouldnt you wait till you get the wide body kit to have those PRF1's on? Man a nasty bump will say piece to your stock fenders. At least you are not lowered yet.
yeah im keeping the stock height untill i get my Js rears in and installed, the next thing on the list after that is the fronts and then a full buddyclub N+spec coilover setup.... dont know what kind of top hats im gonna pick tho... i guess we will see...

I would go 8 +45 up front at least, no problem and looks a bit more even. 7.5 looks stock pretty much. But if your only going to run a 215 I guess your not too worried about width or max traction.
Well i'd like to run 225 up front but theres a couple issues. from what I gather with a 1" drop and an 8" with a 225 I will need to roll the front fenders? Then there is the delima of not up setting handling balance. If I go 225 up front I'd want to run 255's out back correct? If I run the 255 out back the rear fenders would need a roll aswell?

Anyone care to chime in on the 7.5 215, 9 245 combo with a 1" drop not needing a roll. According to Jim at the rack I wont. But I want to be sure....... This is starting to hurt my brain lol.

thats why you just pay a body shop to do it.... if they are good they should be able to do a simple roll with out paint..... now if you have to pull out or flare your fenders then yeah youll have to paint some stuff lol.... im cuttin out the rears for the Js and the fronts will get completely replaced once i put a ton of money together lol....

You can run the 215/245 tires on 17x8/9 +45 set-up. Even with this set up you'll still rub. Either way you will need to relocated the tab futher back in the rear, the rubbing issue will be lessen if you run aggressive camber. I believe if you run at least -2 all around with the 215/245 set up you should only suffer from a little rubbing.

IMO I would at least get the 8s up front, just in case you decide you want to run 225/255. It's useless to get 7.5 up front.

This new RPFs might actually clear the BBKs. Still looks pretty clean.

is there a setup where I can get away with ust rolling the rears? I think I might be able to do that myself. Think I trust my self more. have called body shops in the area and the answers I got did not instill much confidence......

If you want to run 245 or 255 in the rear with the 9s +45, you'll eventually have to roll the fenders and have decent amount of negative camber. Theres no other way about it. You have to keep in mind that +45 offset is pretty aggressive for S2K.

As for confidence with the body shop, majority of the body shop in my experience always crack the paint when rolling the fenders. If I were you I'd hit up some of the members here, that had good experience with whoever rolled their fenders.

You should be OK with a 7.5 +48 and a 215/45. If not, it will be close enough that dialing in a little negative camber is all you need.

I rubbed in the rear with a 9" +45, 245/40, -2.2 camber, and a Espilir drop. It was very minor though, just had to roll the fender a bit.
