Default Help with Sizing

Before buying these wheels the set up im considering is 17x8 f w/ +45offset and 17x9 R w/45 offset. My tire size is 225/45 and 255/40 my rears are also rolled. Im just wondering if I am going to be rubbing? Also my rears are cambered -2.20. Also should I consider going 17x8.5 f with +51 offset or im good with the 17x8 45offset. Thanks

You should stay with the 17x8. I am not sure if you will rub. Are you at stock height?

With the fender lip rolled and a little more negative camber you should be fine. If you want to be safe you can run the 215/45R17 and 245/40R17. If I can help let me know.

You sohuld be fine with any of those setups. If your rears are rolled the 17x9/255 should fit on the back just fine. You might need to run a little more negative camber back there, but only maybe.

The 17x8.5 et51 will definitely fit just fine with your current setup.

The 17x8 will fit as well.

Personally, I'd make the 17x9 et45 setup work, I think the lower offset/aggressive stance is such a good look when its done right.
