Default Enkei RPF1s

Ok guys... wanted to know if anyone can help me out. I was planning on buying a set of Enkei RPF1s for Christmas this year, so I figured I better start my research now to make sure I get the right ones.

Information:
MY06
Lowered on Bilstein PSS9s about an 1" to 1.5"
More aggressive alignment:
Front:
Camber = -1.5
Toe = 0
Caster = highest (whatever the value is)
Rear:
Camber = -2.25
Toe = 0.3 in
Tires:
Front = Azenis 225
Rear = Azenis 255

Which size wheels so I pick up and offsets?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Where in Northeast Jersey you from? Born and raised in Union City.

Anyway, You need to decided first what you want. Do you a staggard or non-staggard set up.

I am currently rocking a 17x9 +45 all around.

I guess for additional help, I suggest that you read this thread if you already haven't:

This helped me so much to make my decision and see what I needed to make my set-up happen. I suggest if you can get any fender roll mods done. DO IT! to be safe.

latinochino is correct. It depends on what you want and what you are willing to do to make something fit. We have 17X7, 17X7.5, 17X8 and 17X9 in stock.
If I can help let me know.

I know I want a staggered setup... aiming more towards the 17x8 & 17x9 setup and it seems that everyone is rolling their fenders to get them to fit. I do a lot of Auto-Xing... so it will see a lot of aggressive driving.

I really wasn't looking forward to doing so but I guess I might just have to do that. How much would they have to be rolled? Will it be noticeable? I just wanted to keep any kind of body work to stock, but if it's only a small amount of rolling... I could manage. that.

That's without rolling the fenders though right?

If I roll the fenders, will the wheels fit?

-3.0 camber is wayyyy too much to drive on the street.

It depends on the camber set up and the width of the tires you choose. If you stay with the 245/40R17 you probably won't have to roll the fender lips.
If I can help let me know.

Yeah no prob. My best friend sister lives in East Rutherford.

When you get you fenders rolled. You really do not notice because all it does is push in the metal piece sticking out inside your fender. The roll pretty much pushes that piece up against the body of the inner fender well.

I dont know any professional shop does this but I got mine done with a local S2K-er. He does only that with his spare time.

And I believe +45 rear and +45 to +48 front (depending on size and color) is the highest offset available.
