wheel fitment question

my rpf1's at 17x10 +18 were hitting my coilover already. without a tire. you should go 17x9 with a pretty low offset if your gonna be rocking jtp's knuckles. he would probably be able to tell you the exact size wheel and offset your going to need

Extended studs and 10mm slip-ons, or a 15mm bolt-on with shortened stock studs should do the trick. I'm just gonna buy wheels that fit.

I talked to JTP about this a while ago, and it was in another thread. He was running a 17x9.5 with a -16 offset I think? I was planning to get some RPF1s to replace my XXRs. 17x9 +22, then probably slap on a 20 or 25mm spacer once I get knuckles.
