17x9 45 offset with 245 tires for the front
Hi all,
I'm planning to get RPF1 17x9 45 offset all around, but instead of running 255/40/17 for 4 corners I'm planning to run 245. Anyone can give me some advice on what needs to be done for the front fenders? I checked wheel fitment guide the rear should be no problem, but for the front I assume fender rolling is required for this setup, but do I need to flare the front fenders as well? or any other modification for the front fenders?
Appreciate for the help

You'll only need to Roll the fronts, and maybe trim the Fender Liner a little. Flaring shouldn't be involved unless your vehicle is slammed.

this would work with just a rolled front fender depending on how low you are.. but u gotta be careful with going to drive ways and not turn the wheel
I learned this the hard way and pwned my passenger side fender.

[QUOTE]this would work with just a rolled front fender depending on how low you are.. but u gotta be careful with going to drive ways and not turn the wheel
Sorry, just want to clarify that u mean when I'm on a driveway I shouldn't turn my wheel to avoid rubbing or hitting the front fenders? Is there any problem when I turn my wheel during regular driving? I'm planning to lowered my car about 1.5 finger gap will that be okay?
Thanks all..
