Default 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

I won't say you'll need a full "flare" (ala s2kologist style) but you'll need a good pull that's for certain.

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.

A half inch, BUT if you're running 225 on it, then it doesn't really matter. It ends up being roughly the same anyway.

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..

Roll and slight pull to make these fit. Easy
