Default sitting in afghanistan on a bunch of cash

i was going to buy 17x8 and 17x9 +45 offset rfp1 in matte black for my s.....but i have been comtemplating on going 17x9 all around was wondering if just rolling the fenders would do and what tires you would run i was thinking 245/40/17 but i have read guys running 255....just need some more defined info before i jump into it..

thanks in advance,
tim

I say go non-staggered. You can easily run 255 tires with a minor drop and roll of the fenders.

I'm running 245 in the sig pic, 255 is next.

17x9 +45's all around would be the way to go. Rolling your fenders and running some camber should be enough to run them. I'm running 17x9 +35 at the moment. I was able to squeeze them in with stock fenders and a roll. I'm now running downforce fenders, but those are to accomodate the wider wheels that are on the way.

But yea, you should be able to run those easy. Also, if you don't mind me asking what part of afghan are you stationed at? I'm not military but im contracting in kaf.

I dont believe this falls under opsec

the name of his unit and the province his base is located in
is certainly well known information.

A. I guarantee the insurgents know where it is....lol.....(i've been there-done that)

B. This information is also made to be public knowledge to family and friends
so they can send care packages...
