Suggest me a wheel
Ok, I've given up & can't decide on a pair of wheels. I see one like, then I see another. But, seeing as you guys have some great taste, I'm asking ya'll to suggest a wheel. However, I do have some limitations.
-Must be 17 or 18 inch:
17: Must fit 235/45/17R S.Drive's. Price range around $1,500/set.
18: Price has to be around $1,300/set so I can afford the new tires.
-Car may be lowered an inch.
-Gotta clear the Brembos.
-Can not rub/roll the fenders/need a spacer. With my little knowledge of wheel fitments, I don't need to deal with that.
Not sure how much this limits my options, but it's a starting point for me. As I said, you guys usually have great taste so I'm open to anything.

I would drop it about 1 - 1 1/2" (i.e. Eibach, A-Spec, H&R Sport, Comptech) and keep the TL-S wheels with some good rubber...the S.Drives are fine. Then supplement the drop with a good set of shocks...i.e KONIs. The car will ride and handle like a drwam and look killer.
The A-Spec wheels are nice too, (I have a set), but I also love the TL-S wheels. No need to spend more money on wheels...improve the suspension.

8.5 + 30 will clear the bbk.
when u go 9" and wider they have a slight semi concave face and that changes everything. my other option i a 18 x 9 +35 but then i will need a spacer.

sorry to bump an old thread, but i would like to know what would be the safest offset if i were to roll my rear fenders for the rpf1's? would 18x9 all around be possible with rolled rear fenders and would i have problems in the front?
