Default Will 17x9+45 fit?

Hey all.

I currently run black Enkei PF01's in 17x9+60 with 240 tires all around.

While these look good, I am after something that will widen my track and sit more flush with the guard for better appearance. I hate the gap that I have with the PF01's.

I run -2 degrees of camber in the rear and -1 in the front. Will I be able to fit something that is 17x9 with a +45 offset without rubbing? Is anyone else running this wheel size? How does it look and feel?

I'm thinking of something along the lines of RPF1's.

Thanks.

Longest answer: You can fit even wider/more offset with nice tires if you really want, but yes, 17x9 +45 will definitely fit. I ran 17x9.5 +44 with no problems.

Ok thanks.

I also have my car lowered just so that the gap between the wheel and guard is gone.

Does a +45 offset sit flush or should I go something like +40?

I run 17x9+45 w/255, same wheels. Rubbed like a sob until I rolled and trimmed.

Definitely need to roll the fenders a good bit, relocate the bumper tabs and run some decent neg camber for them to not rub when lowered. I have 17x9+44 all around. 255's in the rear. I rub once in a while on a big bump. I have neg 3 camber in the rear. Might raise it slightly so I can run a little less neg camber.
17x9+44/45 I think is the best looking offset and width. Looks really aggressive without looking like some hellaflush hardparker.

I'm probably going to run 235's so hopefully I don't rub.

What is the fitment like? Does it sit flush with the guard? I want to have a bit of stance, I hate having a gap between my wheel and my guard lol.

Don;t run 235's. That would be a downgrade from stock..
