the 9 +29 with a 255 will be an esay fit, I am running 9.5 +35 with 5mm spacer and 275/40 on my RS in the rear.

will 17x8 +45 fit bbk?

Excellent question. I was in on the Advan RSII group buy and ordered a set in 17x9.5+35 with the intent of fitting 255/40/17 tires. Front fenders will be Downforce, but I would like to fit the rears on the stock body.

as someone said, a little camber is nothing to be afraid of - its toe that is your main enemy with tire wear...

That fitment should work pretty easy. With a little massaging up front, you could fit a little wider tire as well. We routinely fit 17x9 +45s up front with 245 or 255s with a good roll and some camber.

As someone said, camber isn't what kills tires, Toe is.

Let me know if I can help.

This will fit with a solid roll and slight pull plus relocating the bumper tab and cutting the old one off or rolling it up. I'm lowered on espilirs with 17x9.5+38 and 255s in rear with no rubbing at all. Camber is at -3.5

As usual, the S2Ki hivemind has good information. I assume how much rear negative camber I need to not rub will be determined by how high/low I set the ride height to?

Yes and also how aggressive your roll is in the rear

Don't forget to trim the rear bumper and relocate the bumper bolt several inches back. I'm thinking you probably could get the rear to fit with the specs you're asking. To gain more clearance you should trim the lip of the overfenders as well. Nichigo had a 17x9 +22 in the rear with 255/40 and was running a -2.75 deg of camber I think. I wouldn't get too hung up on camber. As long as your toe is within spec you should be fine. How much driving do you do per year and do you drive aggressively?

Nichigo's set up with the TEs looks wonderful. But if you all say it's toe that I should worry about, then I guess I shouldn't be too worried about camber then. I drive my S when the snow all melts till usually Thanksgiving. MI weather sucks A few woots here and there but normally just cruising.

Sweeet!!! BTW, your S is freaken BA!
