sup fellas so im in the market for some wheels going with the rpf1s bc there great for the price and look good to. but anyways here are my few questions that i have i have searched this forum and google for about 3 hours now found some answers but not totally what im looking for and want opinions!
17 by 9 plus 45 or plus 38 rear
17 by 8 plus 45 or plus 38 front....
also the best tire profile specs i want something to look clean and aggressive nothing crazy or crazy camber.
also i do not want to have to upgrade wheels studs. and i know il probally need wheel spacers but how much will i need? thanks in advance

 

9" +45 is a much easier fit in the rear than a 9.5" +38. A 8" +45 front is a good match for a 9" +45 rear, but comes with convex spokes that some people don't like. You can run 215/45, 245/40 or 225/45, 255/40. Either combo will probably require fender work if you are lowered at all. No need for upgraded wheel studs and spacers would push the wheel out further which would make things worse.

 

cool im going to go with these set up from a bud from a local forum

tell me what u think looking at 1300

 

when you mean convox spokes what do you mean?

 

convex is when the spokes curve inward (toward the car). concave is when the spokes curve outward.

to answer your original question, 17x8et45 and 17x9et45 will be pretty flush and you'll definitely have to do some fender work to prevent rubbing (depending on how low you are) in the front and in the back. some can be cured by negative camber but i'd rather adjust camber for handling than fender clearance - but thats just me.

i ran this exact same set up (wheels are actually for sale) and loved it.

 

i have the 17x9 +45 rears on stock height and im good no rubbing only once in awhile on hard bumps..

I would say go with the higher offset for the most clearance. I would also stay with the 245/40R17 on the 17X9 for the most clearance. Negative camber would always help.

 

I have 17x9 45 all around 235/45 fronts and 255/40 rears. Ur gonna have to roll ur rears, trim the bumper and relocate ur tabs. For fronts u just need to trim ur fenders to avoid the tires from catching the tabes. Negative camber is not bad as long as u don't have toe. I'm running negative 2.1 in front negative 2.8 in the back. Sitting on coilovers.

 

It's actually the other way around... convex is when the spokes curve outward and concave is when it curves inward...

the 17x8.0 +45 for the front is useful if you plan on getting a BBK later down the road. otherwise you should just get the 17x9.0 +45 for both front and rear and fender roll and relocate tabs if your car is lowered.
