Another question - So i've seen theres loads of different sizes of these wheels and i know literally f all about offsets / sizes and implications of putting different wheels on the car but i am reading up on this as we speak. Would the size 16 wheels be fine to put on the car? From what i've read i wouldnt need to roll the fenders with 16's right? Or have i got that all wrong - I'm not wanting to roll the fenders.

Okay, I've just read something so as i understand it now it's the offset which would effect my need to roll the fenders? Is there any offset with these wheels where rolling fenders is not required? haven't found a definitive answer from my searches as of yet.

You can get them in a safe size where you won't have to modify your fenders (see above) but the face of the wheel won't look like the picture you posted above.
The more desirable size for the RPF1 is the 17x9 +45. But you're modding your fenders going this route.

The RFP1 does not come in a size where you wouldn't need to roll the fenders. The PF01 does. 17x8 is to narrow in my book for the rear and 17x7.5 +45 in the front would definitely need a roll if lowered and I would still roll them at OEM height to be safe. The ideal sizing is either 17x9 +45 all around or 17x8 +45 front and 17x9 +45 rear both very much require fender rolling.
