Default Needed: Opinions on fender rolling with RPF1's

I just picked up a set of RPF1's. I have searched for about an hour now and have not found anyone with my situation so I figured I would ask you guys. Here are the wheels:


Front 17x8 +35 215/45/17
Rear 17x9.5 +38 225/45/17

I am lowered 1.5 inches all the way around on springs. I just need to know if anyone has used these lower off sets on these wheels and what you did. I don't know how much of a roll is needed or if I have to pull them as well. I have also heard about relocating a bumper bolt. Also would I be able to put the wheels on and drive them to where I need to get the modifications done or would you advise me to not drive with them incase I were to damamge the fenders?

Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Don't drive it anywhere, that is very low offset. I dont know what mods you will need but I do know you should't drive it yet.

Thats what I figured. I think im going to have to roll all the way around and relocate the bolt or what ever it is in the rear. I just wanted someones opinion that has this set up or close to it.

Im running 17x8 +35 Front and 17x9 +38 Rear and I had to roll all four corners and relocate my rear fender tabs plus adjust my camber... Im running -2.0 Front and -2.6 Rear plus adjusted toe accordling but i dont remember what that was at the momment. I'm pretty low and could maybe fit half my finger between my tire and fenders... I would recommend you mount/install your wheels at the same place that will redo your aligment and camber cause u might damage your fenders since those specs are pretty aggressive. I would go to Issach aka "spunkysandoval" a member here to get your fenders rolled.. Hes a cool guy and does great work!

Thank you for the help. I will prob just have the fenders rolled and adjusted with the stock wheels on and then get the alignment after all of that. Anyone else have suggestions or is there a write up of how to relocate the bumper bolt?

why you running a 225 on a 9.5? if youre just lowered on springs youre gonna have some wheel gap dude

oh and thats not a low offset lol
that will fit extremely easy especially since youre running a small tire on the back
even a 245 on that 9.5 is easy. Since youre only on springs you can just roll/relocate and youll be good dude, you prob will barely rub in that rear. If youre not gonna go lower id at least get a 245 on that rear to fill up some of that gap. You can even be slammed with the 245 and you can fit that easy.
