Looking to get 17x10 and 17x9 RPF01s. I want to find out what the offsets will be for me to fit these flush with no rub on meghan race coilovers.

Thanks Jeremy

If you have not done so, please look in the "tires/wheels/suspension" section. This post will be moved there shortly...

i had 17x9 +22 17x10 +18


but that required a pull/roll...

if you want to be more conservative and more flush, get something like +28 and +25..

I don't see too many options in those wheels. It appears the 17x10's are either +38 or +18. With that, you'll need to do work to make the +18 fit. The +38 will probably require a fender roll or a stretched tire and that should be it. 17x9 seems to come in +45, 35, 22. If you are wanting flush, +35 is your best option with rolled fenders.

I,m running in the rear a 17x10 35 offset running a 275/40 tire and fit very well with a small roll.

17 x 10 + 15 / 17 x 9 + 22

If Multipiece, 17 x 10 + 18, 17 x 9 + 18 is ok too.

Depending on fender modifications, ride height and tire size.

Also depends on power, where you want to drive, and what you are doing with the car.

I dont mind having to do a roll but this is going to be a street and track day car. So im looking for the best handling characteristics not so much super flush fitment. Id sacrafice form over function for sure. I dont want to have to throw so much camber that that it takes away from the handling but i want a wide enough wheel that I can throw 275-285 on the rear. Also i plan on puttin the feed bumper and front fenders. That should not change the offset of the fron wheels, should it?

Thanks guys for all the feedback really appreciate it
