I have a stock AP1 that will soon be lowered on eibach prokit springs with koni yellows. I'd love to pair this with a set of RPF1s. There is a ton of info here, but I am having a tough time sorting out all the advice. Basically I want to run a width that looks good but doesn't rub or require rolling fenders. Tire rack seems to recommend 17x7 front and 17x9 rear, but warns the rears may rub. I have also read here that 17x7 is a different looking wheel due to concavity. 17x9 45 square seems to be a popular setup here but most say it requires rolling. What are my options here? Thanks all!

I have an AP1 lowered on an Eibach Pro-Kit running RPF1s. My rears are 17x9 +45 with a 255/40/17 tire. Fronts are 17x8 +45 with a 225/45/17 tire. For me, I had to roll the fronts and the rears, as well as relocate the bumper tabs. For the rears, I also had to dial in -2.5 degrees camber to avoid rubbing.

As far as the styling differences between RPF1 styling, the 17x8 and lower (maybe 8.5 too if those exist) wheels have a bowed out shape, which I assume is to make room for the brakes. The 17x9s are flat and beautimous.I wish I went 9inch all around. Here is a photo showing the differences in the styles.

As for what sizes will fit without rolling, I can't help you there!
