its not so much the springs as its the front wheels sticking out to the side so much. the offset is pretty aggressive, but im also running 255/40/17 all around. you may not need to have such an aggressive roll if you were to run 225 in the front.. im also over on the east coast, im sure you dont have as many things to worry about over there in the west =P

I'm thinking about picking up a set of rpf1's and I have seen this question answered both ways. I have a 1" drop, could I get 17x9 +45 all the way around and not have any rubbing issues? Anybody know for sure?

I am not 100% sure, but I think you are going to have to at least run neg camber. If you want to be safe I would get fenders rolled as well.

What tire sizes are you planning on running?

225 in the front and 255 in the rear. I've heard your okay unless you hit a big dip but some people say you def. need a roll

before i put mine on (8+45f 9+45r) I am gonna do a slight roll in the front and a full roll in the rear just to be safe. I'm on Espelier now so I have about a 1" drop.

I'm also gonna run neg camber

Another big issue is the rear bumper tabs. If those aren't removed, you'll rub them all day long.
