I am looking into geting a set of rpf1's 17*9 +45 all around. I have a 1 inch drop. What would i have to do to get these to fit, rolling fenders, etc.. and would i need to make any modifications on my suspension switching from staggered to no-staggered? any help would be appreciated.

 

Some users that track cars with the Non-Staggered setup change out swaybars or something else to that nature, I think for street driving you should be fine with OEM equipment. With a 1" Drop you SHOULD roll your fenders even if it's not needed in your eyes because on compression or turns you do not want the tire to grab and lip out a front fender and crack the paint. I would do a simple roll all around, drive it and try it and see how it goes for your driving style and roads. For reference, these are 17x9 +45 all around with I believe 255/40/17's all around.



Hope that helps.

 

Thanks alot, that really helped. and with those tire specs i would still probably only have to get the fenders rolled? I'm always reading about people having to roll, pull and camber out to make their wheels fit. :/ really trying to avoid that except for simply rolling. Thanks appreciate it.

 

You might consider 235/40-17 fronts and 255/40-17 rears. With camber you might not have to roll fenders. With 255s up front, definitely roll.

 

With those offsets and drop you'll need to get your fenders rolled, no doubt!

Even Enkei Racing PF01 and their +60 offset occasionally rub with 255 tires at stock ride height.

If you go with a square set-up and don't do anything to rebalance the car, you will increase the amount of oversteer of the car. Track or street doesn't matter, it is how much you push the car that matters.

Even going with 235 and 255 you'll still need to address the balance of the car, and you lose the advantage of going with a square set-up which is being able to rotate tires front to rear.

Extreme camber or exessively stiff springs can reduce rubbing, so when someone tells you that 'I run XXXX with no issues.' Be sure they tell the whole story, you may or may not want to do what they did to make a set of wheels work.

edit: the further you vary from the WHEEL FITMENT GUIDE the more you have to do.
