Help from RPF1 guys

So I have a local vendor getting me a VERY good price on some new RPF1 and I need some help. Would you do 17x9 or 17x9.5 +38? From what I heard the 9.5 width is easiest to fit especially in +38 offset to only run minimal work. Any help is super appreciated.

Do I need extended studs? I know in the front I need a 20mm spacer and I can get the ichiba v2 with built in studs. But what about rear? Will stock studs work? Thanks

I almost cheaper out on Rotas but couldn't justify spending my earned money on crap. So I held off a little, and while the rpf1 isn't a 'ballin' wheel by any means, it's a solid light wheel. I might get get them in SBC. I'll post photos once done.

I just realized they sell the rpf1 in 17x9.5 in offsets of +35 +38 AND +45 would the +45 allow for better fitment?

Pretty sure they sell 17x9.5 +18 as well. This was the set up I was going to do and get +18 for the front and +38 for the rear. You wouldn't need any spacers at all. Pretty much perfect fitment. Only downfall is that you wouldn't be able to rotate. But I decided to go 18x9.5 +38.

That's exactly what I wanted to do, buy them in separate offsets. How badly will not rotating my tires be?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about rotating your rims, not your tires.
