I'm sure there is something similar in the 39 pages of this topic, but to save a little time I'm going to ask again. I purchased some Enkei RPF1's staggered 17x8 up front and 17x9 in the rear. Both at a +45 offset. My tires up front are 245/40 and 255/40 in the rear. I am currently on my stock suspension, but will be installing KWv3 coil-overs in the next few months. I am having the rear fenders rolled tomorrow and setting a -1 degree camber which I think will be fine on the stock suspension. However, up front I don't think a fender roll is going to cut it. I auto-x on Sunday, think the spacing in the stock suspension will be enough up front to avoid any damage/rubbing? I really like the fat tire aggressive look, but other than buying some wider fenders I'm not sure I can make the 245/40 up front work. Especially once I add the coil-overs. Thoughts? Thanks!

245/40 up front would work better on a 9" wheel. Either way, you should be able to make it work although I would go to around -2 front camber when you lower the car. Stock height you should be fine in the front with a roll. You definitely want more than -1 camber rear though, stock or lowered.

yeah a 245/40 is pretty stuffed onto an 8" wheel...I'd drop her down to a 235/40 or get a new set of non-staggered wheels and go 255 all around.

You will need to roll the fronts. They will rub under hard cornering. Have them rolled with the rear fenders.

Might as well roll all your fenders if your going to do the rears.

Thanks! Looks like I will go with a roll on the front too.

How do you remount the liner if you roll the front?

Read the pinned thread about fender rolling.

Also, if I dropped to 235/40 up front could I avoid any fender rolling? Including once I lower it? I'm not too savvy on tires... If I drop the fronts to 235/40 could I save and use my 245's on the rear rims once I've burned through my 255's?

No. You should roll them even with a 215 or 225.
