Default 17x9+45 rpf1 in rear, Rolling fenders help?

Hey guys,

I was wondering on the enkei RPF1s 17x9+45 for my rears, I know I need to roll the rears and relocate tabs but should i do that Or do i need to flare the rears? Also what about cutting the inner fender part rather than rolling? ANY SUGGESTIONS? I couldnt get a definitive answer on the search... OR do i even need to roll the fenders because im just on eibach springs which is less than 1" drop? HELP.


Btw im running on eibach springs on oem shocks.

Also for the mean time I am looking on installing some temporary 245 45 tires on the 17x9. WHile that is on temporarily will I need to roll?? And what about 255s, can i flare the rears to make them fit?

THANKS guys

Yes you would need to roll them and relocate the tab. And you might be able to get away with a 245/40/17 the 245/45/17 will have a higher sidewall and increase your chance in rubbing. Just roll them and relocate the tab and you'll be fine.

I barely rubbed with 245's with that offset, but i rolled them cause i wanted 255's.
Its ok to drive as long as the suspension is stiff in the rear.
