Tein Super Drift coilovers, with rolled fenders, and Enkei RPF1 wheels with Falken Azenis tires with the following sizes:

17*9 +22 rear with 255/40 tire
17*8 +35 front with 235/40 tire

Will that work?

 

Depends on alignment settings but most likely you will have these issues and proposed solutions.

1. Front wheel might hit coilover, needs 5mm slip on spacer.

2. Rear wheel WILL HIT FENDER, needs roll/pull

3. Depending on how much camber you want in the rear and your given ride height, you should get the camber adjuster to displace the rear subframe back to correct position.

Thanks, Rishie!

I forgot to mention, I am having my fenders rolled. I'm now looking at running that same setup, but with a +35 offset all around, and all fenders rolled. Does that sounds workable?

As far as settings, I probably want to sit about 1" below stock ride height.

 

If you are buying these used and those are the sizes you are stuck with- disregard this post.

Looking at the Enkei RPF1 sizing chart there are some much better options for fitment.

Front-

Max tire fitment-
17x8.5+30 will clear the suspension and allow you to run up to a 255 up front with just rolling the fender lip under and ~2 deg negative camber.

Flush fitment-
17x9 +22 would be your flush fitment with a 235/40-17 or severely rolled front fender fitment with a 255/40-17.

Rear-

Max tire fitment-
17x9.5 +38 or 17x10 +38 with up to a 275/40-17 on stock fender (depending on width of brand- the RT615 will work).

Flush fitment-
17x9 +22 with 235/40-17 or 235/45-17 or severely rolled fender with 245/40-17 to 255/40-17.

I personally race on 17x8.5 +30 255/40-17 with front lip rolled under and 17x9.5 +40 275/40-17.

 

17x9 +35 all around with a 10-15mm spacer in front will work if you want to be able to rotate tires and run 255/40-17 all around.

It is not max fitment or flush but a really good middle ground.

 

Awesome! Thank you for one of the most helpful and informative posts I've encountered on this forum. That really gives me a good idea of what sort of range I can work with!

Thank you t0mat !

I wound up going with some fr500's ... Yeah I know they are mustang wheels lol

They fit real nice and flush with a small stretch and I didn't need any wheel spacers and they cleared brake calipers and coil overs . Can post pics if wanted
