Okay so i've been looking into getting some rpf1's 17x7 up front with 45 offset and 17x9 in the rear with 45 offset as well. Did anyone have to roll their fenders to fit these? I am still on stock suspension btw! I am wondering because tirerack says the offset on these rims are aggressive and fender modification may be required. If anyone has answers please help. Thanks!

im no wheel expert but 1) post on the wheels and tire forum, and 2) yes it should fit.

It should fit without the fender roll?

I'm an inch lower with the same wheels in the back and I had to get a roll. I also rolled the fronts but my front wheels are 17x8 +45. 225/45/17. My rear tires are 255/40/17

would my setup work with stock suspension and ride height or would i still need a fender roll?

I'm unsure. There is a wheel fitment guide in the wheel and tire section and a lot of helpful threads around this forum that can help you find that out. I'd start digging around a bit. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

I've read a couple forums and a couple of people said it would work on stock suspension an ride height. I've also used a couple calculation sites and its only a 2.5% difference in the rear.

Compared to a stock AP2 wheel/tire setup, a 17x7+45 in the front will stick out 10mm further (think in terms of using a 10mm spacer). The rears with 17x9+45 would stick out 20mm further.
In the "Quest for flushness using AP2V1" wheel thread, it is often mentioned that 17mm spacers in the rear would be about the most you can go before a slight roll (depending on ride height); and it is mentioned you can easily use larger than a 10mm spacer for the front.

So, you'll want to do a slight roll on the rear fenders to be safe when going over bumps/etc for the rear, and the fronts will be just fine.

Tire size and negative camber will play a role on whether you will rub or not.

I am not lowered at all and I dont plan to lower my car either. nor do I have any camber. All stock suspension
