Default 17x9 +45 on stock suspension. Will it fit?

Very simple question. Will 17x9 +45 fit on stock body and stock height s2k, or will I need to do something to make it work?

Depends on tire size. Fender roll will likely be necessary.

255/40/17 will need a pull up front and roll in the back.

I was hoping to avoid that until I got suspension. The wheels have 245/40 on them already but I guess will have to pass on them since they want to trade for stock wheels. Thanks guys.

Do things in the right order. Roll first. Then suspension then wheels.

This is not necessarily true. One of the members here is 245/40/17 square on 17x9 +45 with OEM suspension with no rubbing whatsoever. He does not track/autocross, but with street driving there is no issues.

As far as fender work, I am lowered on Espelirs with OEM suspension and am running 255 square on 17x9 +45. Rolled in the front & back with rear bumper tab relocated. No issues and I track/autocross the car frequently. No pulling required.

^Just because he doesn't hear it rubbing doesn't mean it's not rubbing. I have found most people don't hear the front rub until it is to late. The way I look at it is you can risk it and maybe be ok or just roll the fenders and be ok.

Either way, I guess the guy I was talking to about the wheels decided to sell them with the car. I know Manga knows his stuff so I will take his advice and do fender work first when the time comes.

I'm running 17x9 +45 on about a half inch drop. I wouldn't rub normal driving but then I noticed small rubbing during potholes or dips. I then decided it was better to be safe than sorry and got my fenders rolled
