I'm considering a 4x255 setup with 17x9 wheels and I'm wondering if anyone has found a wheel offset that allowed this to be done without having to roll and flair their front fenders.

Thanks!

you'll probably want something in the 63 - 65mm range, however with that offset you'll probably rub the control arm at full lock, and you might catch the fender if you turn the wheel and go up a driveway. just to be safe, you should always roll your fenders

 

Definitely a +63. Dial in a fair amount of negative camber. And you MIGHT not rub. Some brands tires run wider than others, so you might get lucky. The other option is to just go with a 245.

 

You won't rub on 17x9 + 63 255s in the back. In the fronts you'll rub on the fender liner depending on how low you are and maybe inner as well under full lock depending on your alignment. A 3mm spacer will solve the inner full lock rub problem.

 

Or, Enkei 17x9 +60, or SSR or OZ Racing 17x8.5 +58 are options as well.

 

all depends on how low you want it. my pf01's required a little bit of work up front to not rub on full compression

 

I'm 95% decided on the PF01SS 17x9 +60 with the 255/40ZR17 Dunlop Star Specs.

I daily drive and track all of my cars, so I'd rather roll the fenders then compromise in other areas. The car is a stock AP1 and I wasn't planning on lowering or making any other changes for a long while. Someone suggested a bump steer kit, which if I understand correctly allows for more tow and camber adjustment. Is this a problem on the S2K or does the bump steer kit solve some other issue? Any other mods I should consider with this setup?

Thanks again!

I may have misunderstood... is the bump steer kit for the front, rear, or both?

 

Lol it's "toe"..and you don't need anymore of that. To compensate for a wider tire, people usually run about -2 to -3 camber front and rear. It is possible to get that in the rear, but the front requires ball joints/camber joints..two options are SPC and Hardrace. People running this setup also usually get a stiffer front sway bar to tame oversteer. The Enkei PF01s are a good choice.

 

lowered enough i can get 2.5 in the front on stock joints! i was surprised
