Default 17x9 rpf1's

Ive looked around. Couldn't find the answer im looking for.

Will a set of 17x9 +40 fit the fronts? I know I shouldn't have a prob in the rear but worried about the front rubbing. Fenders have already been rolled, all around. Front tires are the stock size 225- rears are 245/45's. Any issues?

i'm currently running 17X9 +40 and 255/40 tires with rolled fenders + HKS Hypermax (lowered 2 inches) and there is no rubbing while driving...

It does tend to rub when i'm doing a big U-turn but I think its the tires rubbing on the inside wheel well some place and not necessarily against the fenders...

Marc G thanks a lot bro, I bought these rims brand new. All 40+ all around 17x9 and started freaking out because somebody at a local meet told me if have probs with this set up. If worse come to it I'll just raise my car a little. But again thanks man.

That's a sweet looking s2, btw I'm a lot more slammed, of you where to drop your car more would the rear rub/hit the rear fender? In the pic it looks really close.

You're gonna need to roll and flare those fenders. Looks like you have some front bias too...how come?

My fenders are rolled. And sorry I'm a noob still, what's front bias?
