Ive been searching RPF1's for quite some time. My much respected suspension tuner here in So.Cal (Mueller) noted that fitting a 17 x 9.5 is very tough & will likely rub the rear suspension arms.
Heres a shot of a wheel & tire package that has gone through some clearance tests to ensure a proper fit
If you cant get the 17 x 9.5 +38 to float into the rear well like this, then its too freaking wide.
Why not go w/ the 17 x 9 +35? Peace
