What are the best tires Sizes for a rpf1 17 x 8..
I have my s2k in stock height and planning to drop it 1 inch or .5.. I don't wanna roll my fenders..
I'm still new to this offset thing and I want to have a perfect fitment.. Please help me understand..
If I keep my offset +37 or +47 all around will this rub my front and back..

17X8 + 37 might not fit without a roll or at the very least, some additional camber. 17X8 +37 is about 0.18'' less outside spacing than a 17X9+45.
17X8 +47 *SHOULD* work just fine without issue.

I have 17x8 +35 in the front and have no rolling or any additional camber. with a 215/45 tire, they fit with no fender modifications.

Lol. I would just read about how offsets work. It'd be hard for me to explain without pictures. But once you have that understanding, you can calculate wheel fitments by offset and width. There might be an program/application out there somewhere that does the same thing.

LOL!
Have you tried not using stock alignment specs? That sizing should easily clear the rears with some alignment magic. I just lowered my friend's AP2 with 17x9 +45s and 245/40/17s. It rubs SLIGHTLY on the bumper tab. Didn't touch the fenders. With an alignment, it'll clear easily.
Or maybe your car is slammed? IDK....

With stock alignment specs, 17x8 50 offset and 225/45/17's for the front and 17x9 60 offset and 255/40/17's fit perfect. My 04 has the eibach pro kit, about 1 1/2" drop. Tires are almost flush with the fenders and no rolling needed.
I went with the Enkei PF01''s in black.

im running 17x8 all the way around with 35 offset all the way around with 245-40-17.. car feels good ... and no rubbing issues because of the 40 sidewall i guess..
