So just to make sure, 215 and 245 on 17x8 +45 and 17x9 +38 WILL require rolling and cutting?
in the rear, cut some plastic part of the rear bumper. It's also going to rub the screw (& the surroundings). Some people relocate the screw further in. What I did was just push the screw upwards-in (like rolling fender with a bat. but this time just take a bar and push the screw up and in out of the way. - in other words, just FOLD the screw's tab.

roll the front to be safe (roll & pull if you are slammed)

Guys, what is the difference between the standard RPF1 and RPF1 RC? Is the RC heavier or lighter than the standard?
I've a set of 17x9.5 for my gtr and I am very keen to get another set of 18x10.5 to put more rubber on the road. The local supplier here don't bring in anything wider than 9" in the 18" range. Could you let me know where did you guys get your rims from?

Oh wow I didn't expect to have to roll the front... isn't +45 what most people run in the fronts? And for the rear, if I moved up to +45 instead of +38 would it take away any necessity for fender/bumper modifications? I just want to run a setup with about a 1'' drop with no modfications needed, is that possible?
