Looking to order some new wheels since my tires are shot and I want to run 255 RS3s all around. I don't mind rolling my fenders, but I'd rather not pull/flare them.
I've been considering TSW Nurburgrings and Enkei PF01s, 17x9 with +63 and +60mm offsets respectively. I know +45 RPF1s require a flare, but what about +49 17x9 Weds Sport TC105Ns? Am I pushing it too close with the +49 offset? Any other recommendations (not TRM C3, not a fan of the look!)?
Thanks
Matt

Track guys do it all the time, but we're a... bit more extreme than the average s2k owner.

Then you're stuck with something in the +60 to +63 range.
I can confirm for sure that anything lower than +52 on 17x9 with 255s will need at least a slight flare to fit without rubbing.
I'm currently running 17x9 +48 (6ULR) and require at least some minor flaring to get 255 Direzza IIs to fit.

This. You're stuck with high offsets.
