Who's FD is running 17x10 +38?
 
I buying some RPF1's and I think the best offset option is +38. I found the exel thing but I suck at computers and couldn't figure out how to put my measurements in.

How "flush" will they be? I'm not drifterX, so I want some real fitment. Somthing that can run like a 255 all around.

I haven't seen anyone with the Enkeis in that size, but this might give you an idea as far as fitment goes.

These are 17x10 +35. The RPF1s would sit 3mm more inward, so they should look good. 255s should fit fine, as well.

I fit 17x9.5 17x10 +38 RPF1s with 255/275 and I have all my fenders rolled. Fits nice. Not drifter flush, but nice. In fact I normally have a 5mm spacer up front and there is still room for more, a 10-15mm spacer would probably sit them exactly flush.

Did you have to change your studs for that spacer? What brand spacer are you using?

No, 5mm spacer fits fine on stock studs. But, I have since changed mine out for ARP studs. They are Ichiba hub centric spacers (although the 5mm doesn't have or need a hubcentric ring since its so thin)

Great thanks for feed back.

Big thread bump, but I just installed a square set of 17x10 +38 RPF1's and wanted to upload a couple pics for anyone looking in the future.
Tires are 255/40/17 Falken Azenis RT615k+
Front camber -2.2*
Rear Camber -1.8* could probably get away with just -1*
Rolled fenders, no pulling.

I am experiencing a small amount of rub in larger dips, mostly just on the passenger front. It seems to only be rubbing the liner though. No rubbing on the rears at all. This is the max ride height with my coilovers, Quantum T5-RS. I wish I could raise the front like a half in to an inch.
I also rub slightly on my driver front on very tight right turns (like parking lots). My liner has a hole in it from the previous owner right in front of the wheel. I ordered a fresh liner hoping the this will fix it. I am running quite a bit of caster, so that may have some effect. It's at about 9.5*

17x9 +48 Enkei PF01SS with 255/40’s square
No fenders rolled, camber (IIRC -2 f and -1.5 r). Ground Control coil overs set at just a little below stock height. Could go lower but limited by my driveway and practicality.
FWIW I was told by Enkei that with this size and off-set their references showed that 265’s could be run on the rear with no rolling.

I’ve ran this setup for a while with no issues.
