staggered wheels question.

[djleepanda]

I am leaning toward getting a Enkei RPF1 and was wondering if 17x8 and 17x9 (both +45) would cause any issues?

Also, what would you recommend for tire sizes for these fitment? My car will not have any suspension upgrades. Thanks.

Other suggestions are welcome.

Tons of other threads with this question, but why stagger if you don't need to? +45 offset wheels look good in the front and back at the right width. True that with no suspension a 9 inch wheel in front is going to rub on the stock strut/spring ... but if you can afford at least some lowering springs you can squeeze in a 9 inch wide front.

Non staggered tends to poke in the front. I know for me that was the reason I went staggered, for flush front and back. I'm OCD about avoiding pokey tires though, so it may not even register or bother other ppl.


OP, your set-up should be just fine.

Thanks for the input guys. One more thing... What tire sizes should I look into? should i get same all across?

Staggered rims usually call for staggered tires. I personally went with 225/40/18F and 255/35/18R.
