Finally found a set in MINT condition! I've been wanting to try out these wheels on a 2g for quite some time but could never find the right offset since most of these wheels go on Evos. This is a square setup and specs are 17x9 +35 on a 255/40/17 RS3 tire. Rims weigh 16.3lb each and for a comparison I lost 5lb at each corner over my XXRs even while moving to up to a wider rim and tire combo. Another win is that these wheels are big brake kit friendly, so no spacers are required! I went with a +35 offset because from previous experience that offset sat the wheel flush with the fender. However, these wheels even with that offset have some poke to them. Eh, I love them still! Anyways here are some photos of them. Enjoy (I need to lower the rear a bit more)

Looks good! How much clearance do you have to the rear knuckle? I ended up going with the 17x9.5 +32 tc105n's since I found a great deal and I was worried the 10.6" section width of the RS4's would be too close. (The RS3 section width is 10.2".)

Theres like maybe 5mm of clearance in the rear so with your lower offset I'd say you'll be fine.
 
Good comparison. I already have the wheel/tire setup and have about 5mm of clearance as well with the +32 offset. On my 17x9 RE30's I have 4mm of clearance with 255/40-17 RS3's. So with the RS4's on a 17x9 wheel it would probably have about 2mm of clearance...that's cutting it close!
 
That wheel design looks great! They poke out too far for my tastes, which is why I went 17x9 +45 RPF1's. Of course then with 255's, knuckle clearance becomes and issue, which is why I'm having mine modified in the same way Ec17pse modified his. Best of both worlds, wide tires with clearance and they don't poke out. Brake clearance becomes an issue, but the Wilwood Dynapro calipers have more clearance than stock due to the design and mounting.

Haha you think they stick out! Thats nothing to how mine stick out LOL. I love a bit of poking
 
Very nice wheels and it suits the car very well, good choice!

I know this a bit old of old thread, but was wondering how the 17x9.5 +32 with 255s fit, and if you had any pics?
 
No spacers are required with 2gb rear knuckles and I think I have about 5mm of clearance. 2ga rear knuckles would be close. They have tons of clearance to the front AP Racing calipers. I didn't test before putting the ARP studs on, so I can't say for sure if they're required. The Hankook R-S4 255/40-17 tires have a very large section width (much bigger than the R-S3) and I wouldn't feel comfortable going wider.
 
Are your calipers about the same size as Evo 8 Brembos? And just curious where you bought the wheels? I can find the 17x9 +35s everywhere, the 9.5 +32s. Not so much!
 
I haven't compared directly, but they're meant for Evo's so they should be similarly sized. I bought the wheels new from an individual, not a company.
 
I know this is a few years old but years old but do you by chance remember what suspension you were on at the time of this picture? Springs or coils? Also did you need a fender roll or pull in front/rear to fit these wheels at that height? This is exactly the stance and type setup id like on my car which will be running Koni oranges with Eibach prokits and planning to run a 17x9 +35 with a similar sized tire. I have no desire to roll or pull the fenders which is why I am asking. Thanks in advance if you ever see this LOL.

The original poster has a YouTube channel called thebudgettuner and no longer has the silver eclipse. You may find some older videos of it though. I believe he ran feal coilovers which is what I have. I have 17x9 +45 rpf1's with a 5mm spacer so +40. I don't remember the exact inch # I dropped when switching from the stock suspension but I did roll the inner lip on the quarter panels with an Eastwood roller. Here are photos of stock wheels and suspension and where it sits now. Hope this helps you. As far as I am aware 17x9 +35 should be fine if you just do the inner lip in the back. I don't know what you can get away with without doing the lip.

I just got the same wheels RPF1 17x9 +45 but in flat black. When I mounted the on the car the front caliper is like 1/2mm from hitting the wheel. It doesn’t rub but I am not too sure I want to drive like that. Both the front and back have maybe 3-4mm of clearance from hitting the trailing arms.

Are you using any spacers at all? Any issues? Do you think 245/40 or 245/45 tires would fit correctly without rubbing anywhere?
 
I sold my car last year so I don't have it to check but I ran either a 3 or 5mm spacer front and back. I don't remember if I was close to the calipers but I don't believe so. If I remember correctly I had 235/45r17 tires and calculated that switching to a 245/40r17 would fit but I never got around to actually mounting anything.

I used this thread when I was trying to get my fitment right. The original poster kidtsi had some other threads on wheels that might help you.

If your on stock suspension and switch to coilovers it could change all the dynamics. My 235 tires rubbed on the coilovers in the back due to excessive camber until I got that corrected and ran the spacers.
Hope this helps.
