You should be fine. I'm running 235/40 18x9.5+38 OEM suspension and it's tight. You'll have an extra 3mm on offset and roughly another 12mm clearance on wheel width (if my math is right). The thing to look out for is spring perch and rubbing at full lock. You might poke a bit, so if anything you might need camber bolts.

im looking at either 1.5 or 1 inch drop on springs, will 17x9 +35 (enkei rpf1) be okay? what about them in 17x9 +45? im also looking at the enkei T6S 17x9 +45 and gram lights 57dr 17x9 +38? what tire size would be ideal for 17x9?

I'd go 17x9 +35 if I were you. You could have clearance issues with springs at +45. Not sure about 17x9 +38, but that might work okay. I'd go 235/40 or 245/40 for tires depending on your meaty/stretch preference.

I'd also flip through this thread...http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15160

and 17x9 +35 would have no issues whether i was on 1" or 1.5" springs? and 245/40/17 would fit front and back? and what about flusness? would these poke at all at +35 or be close to flush with fender?

The only potential issue with this setup is if you plan on going with RPF1s and getting a big brake kit (brembos). They dont have enough clearance from the spokes. If you don't plan on doing that, get your springs and some camber bolts to adjust camber/poke to your liking and you'll be sitting pretty.

oh heck to the yeah! i dont plan on getting a bbk since it probably wont see track days but the RPF1s are such a nice wheel for a decent price and light so it caught my eyes. but good to know, i can start looking at other 17x9 +35 and see if anything beats out the RPF1s. thanks for passing some knowledge

Wedsport TC105N come in the same spec, also very light

Will be coming up on some Gram lights 57DR's that could not be passed up.. my current set up is just stock shocks on Eibach Pro Kit springs. The wheel and tire specs are 18x9 +38 on 255/35/18. Would they fit? What would need to be done?

I'd be concerned about the front clearance to the spring perch. 255s are probably too wide without coilovers. Check the meaty tire thread. Good stuff in there and someone's probably tried this already.

Noob here... Just wondering if Enkei's TM7 17x9s with a 45mm offset would cause any issues? I have plans on lowering the car on coils max 1 inch.

If they do fit what tire specs would you guys reccomend?

[SlowCarFast]

17x9 +45 trp c4
255/40r17 nexen sur4

Currently bone stock suspension. I will be upgrading and lowering eventually, but will probably eat through this set of tires long before then. So I am more concerned about wheel fitment than anything. I will probably want to eventually run 245s or 235s though instead of the 255s. I am most concerned with fitment to the suspension being +45 offset. Has anyone run a similar size?

Long story short, I have a potential really good deal on the sur4's and have been looking at the c4's for a while. Reasonably priced and strong, even if they are not the lightest wheel in the world.

+45 will be extremely close and will probably rub on stock suspension/struts and more so when lowered. Most people run 3mm spacers in the front to get that clearance needed.

245/40 is a good choice for tire size. 255's are a little overkill, but it will fit.
