I'm looking at buying 17x8 +45 offset rims wrapped in 235/40/17 T1-R's

I'm running on Tanabe GF springs with the v6. Soo, just wondering if these will be a problem with rubbing after fenders are rolled? Would I have to roll them all the way you think?

The new setup will stick out 1" farther...

+45 offset rims you'll be fine if you have the fender rolled
since you have 17", now the key'd be the tire you choose
i'm not sure about 235 but itz always good to step off a bit

Yeah, because I know 17x8 w/ 245s fit with fender rolled.. on +48 offset SSR Comps

Just wondering if the 3 less offset would make much of a difference

some people are using 42 but they're still fine with the fenders rolled but sometime they'd find there's rubbin if there're 2 or more people sitting at the back or too many stuffz in the trunk or going too fast towards a bump
to be secured, i'd suggest +45 offset becuz 45 is the safe level i think
