Default 17x9 +45 rpf1

Hi,

I was looking to get 17x9 +45 rpf1s all around with 225/45/17 in the front and 255/40/17 in the rear. I was planning to put on some eibach pro kit springs as well. Is this set up optimal and will I need to do anything further then roll the fenders?

Thanks

Also can I drive with that wheel set up without fender rolling and on stock springs?

No. It will rub for sure any time you hit a bump or take a corner aggressively though so it should only be a temporary solution. A fender roll will take care of any rubbing issues even when lowered.

235/40-17 might be a better tire size choice up front for 9" wheels. Probably no more likely less due to being 1/2" shorter than 225/45-17. Fender rolling probably required either way.

But 255 will be fine in the back? So with this set up will i won't need to adjust camber or pull the fender?

For the rear a 255 will be fine with a roll and a relocation the bumper tab. No pulling is needed. -2 camber should be good as well. I can't tell you about the fronts because I am not familiar with it.
