Default RPF1 17x9 +45 w/ 245/40/17 all around.

Hey guys,

I went through most of the Enkei thread and googled a lot. I haven't found what I'm trying to find.
If i were to run 245/40/17 all round on rolled fenders and 1" drop, would they rub? I don't want to pull fenders at all as I want to keep it as "stock" as possible.


I also want to run square tires so I can do rotations. Planning on running continental DW for daily driving.

I'm on same setup but probably lowered more than 1 inch. You will likely need to roll front fenders but not pull. Rear should be ok at that height.

Keep in mind I'm also running -2.5 camber rear and -2 front. Be prepared for possibility of needing a roll, not pull.

K. I thought the fronts can't run more than -1 camber? So did you get a front camber kit?
I'm running a rear megan bumpsteer kit so I'll be able to do whatever camber I want on the rear. Planning to run the euro alignment setup maybe with a tad extra camber.

No camber kits for me. Stock adjustment should be able to go further than -1.0.

Yeah you will just need more camber up front. I had 17x9 =43 on the rear with close to stock camber. Now those are on the front and my camber is set at 1.9 and they fit fine.

So right now I need to wait for my friend to free up time to roll my fenders. Is it possible to run it temporarily without rolling?

I want to install my bumpsteer kit and 16" doesn't fit with the bumpsteer on (megan bumpsteer), forcing me to use my 17" square.. I'm basically running it for only a few days before I have surgery and it'll sit for probably up to if not more than a month - giving me plenty of time to roll the fenders then.

I'm also trying to eliminate to oversteer that inherently comes with running squares. I bought a MC (miata) front sway to put in the rear, lowering the rear by about 120lbs. How stiff of a front sway bar would you guys run so that it'll feel neutral?
