You guys do not have any clearance issues running the +45 RPF1s with 245/255? I thought Simmons was using a small spacer with his.

I'm debating on STX for next year right now and trying to figure out whether to do +35 or +45. In the end I'm not sure it matters a huge amount.
I missed this earlier. It doesn't really matter a huge amount, it depends on what you want. Scrub radius and tire fitment are better with the +45s, but they will rub the front sway bar slightly at absolute full lock with 245/40/17s and almost surely with 255s. +45s probably also won't clear the stock struts with any sort of camber at the knuckle.

+35s should fix all of those things but 255s are going to be a tight squeeze unless you run a lot of camber. They should clear big brakes, too. But they aren't as readily available as the +45s.

Personally, I think the answer is somewhere in the middle: +45s with some sort of spacer.
