Default Yes, Another Enkei RPF1 question

I am wondering if this would fit my AP1 without rolling the fenders.
I checked the fitment guide. It seems to work. I just wonder if the fitment guide was for AP2 and that AP1 may be different.

Potential Tirerack order below

Front 17X7.5 +48 / will shop for a 215 tire
Back 17X9 +45(back ordered) / will shop for a 245 tire

I'm hoping not to get any rubbing without any modification.
I would appreciate it if any of you can help and let me know if I am better off with
17X7
17X8
or
17X7.5
17X8

Thanks.

I was also hoping to put Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec on the rims, but tireack doesn't seem to show that as an option for the 17" rims. (it shows up for the 16")
Is this not an option if I go with the 17" enkei rims?
Thanks

Are you lowered or stock ride height?

it depends on ur offsets as well if you have ET45 on all fours u will need to roll the back and relocate ur tabs and such. I have 17x8 and 17x9 all ET45. 225f 255 rears. i rolled my rear, relocated the tab and trimmed the bumper. I am also on coilovers about 2 finger gap between the tire and wheel well.

IMO, I looking at those sizes you want to run I would go with a 17x8 F and 17x9 Rear with a +45. You won't have any rubbing issue on the front *IF* you plan on not lowering the car more than an inch. The 17x9 in the rear with a 245 will fit on STOCK height but be forewarned it will stick out a little and look funny.

I added a little camber at stock ride height and it made the rear look a lot better. If you dont it does look a little odd

Thanks, guys.
I have stock ride. It's not lowered or altered.
I don't usually alter my ride I'm really just after rims and tires so I can stop remounting twice a year.

Would I need to go with narrower tires in the back if I don't want to make any modifications?

Thanks again.

By the way, the offset on those rims are

Front 17X7.5 48
Back 17X8 45
or
Back 17X9 45

17x8, 17x9 Enkei's will fit just fine on stock ride ride height. No mods necessary.

^ agreed thats what Im running at the moment. 215/45 on the front 245/40 on the rear with no rubbing. Definitely go with 17x9 on the back. it will look a lot better than 17x8
