i know ill get flamed for this...but i have to ask...after countless searches i still couldn't find the right answer i was looking for...

1. will a 255/40R17 tire with a 17X9 and a 63mm offset on the rear fit with a fender roll.
2. will a 225/45R17 front tire with a 17X8 and a 50mm offset fit with a fender roll

i would like to clear Brembo brakes front an rear... if anyone can help me LMK...i need to know if these are the right tires, width of the wheels, and the correct offset to fit if i have my fenders rolled...thanks...

I don't think the offsets are low enought to clear without spacers. Ususally a +45 is the highest offset that will clear a BBK without spacers.

Gentek1145 cleared a Willwood BBK with his 17x8 +45 Regamasters without spacers

Hope it helps

so if i would run +45 all around it can fit a bbk without spacers and will i need my fenders rolled to fit these wheels and tires...

Have you sourced Rota's with those offsets? They sound like Volk offsets to me, and ive never heard of slips coming in those.

Unless you are upgrading the rear brakes, you don't have to change the orignal offset you listed for the rear. Even with the 255 tire, you'll be fine without a roll. With the front, either a +45 offset or add a 5mm spacer to the +50 wheel. You'll have to run a 215 unless you roll the fender and add some negative camber *I think* to fit the 225 tire. Maybe someone running something similar can chime in.

can anyone confirm...

I have 225 fronts on my 17x7.5 +40 SSR Type C's. And i don't rub but i'm at stock height.

Also Rota's don't come in those offset. Only one offset for the s2000 fitment is offered. I used to have a set.

If you got money for a Brembo BBK buy a wilwood and a good set of wheels. I got alot of compliments on my rota's but I knew they were cheap wheels. I'm so much happier now that i've switched to a forged wheel. Lighter weight and i get more compliments now. From other enthusiests. I paid $550 new for my rotas and $800 used for my SSR's. Spend the extra coin and get wheels you'll keep

thanks for your input but im going to go with this setup and i was wondering now if the tires listed in my first post be the same, will my fenders need to be rolled for the front or rear and will this clear a brembo break or any bbk mostly brembo...thanks

Do they come in +40 offsets? Seems low. I have 17x7.5 +40 fronts and 17x9 +40 rears. they fit very well. I'm at stock height and i don't really rub. When I lower it i'm rolling the rears but not the front. If you roll the front you lose your fender liners. here's a pic of my car
