^ i have a similar set up.
17*9+35 with 245/40 and
17*8+35 with 225/45.
No intense camber will be needed at all. That fitment should be good on the ep.

Decided I'm gonna get RPF1's soon 17x9 because I love the look of them in that size (has the concave look). which offset is gonna be better fitting wise? either +22 or +35.
I have a fresh set of RE002s in 215 on my car at the moment, is it gonna be too much stretch for a 9" wheel? I use the car every day so I don't want to blow the tyre off. although I'll go to a wider tyre if I have to. I've seen plenty of photos of what both offsets look like on the car and I like the look of both. Just want to know what I'll need to get them to fit when the time comes and best camber allignment specs seeing it will need the camber adjusted to fit. I would be getting coilover's fitted at the same time.

+22 has a flater spoke while the +35 has a slight curve to it.
215/45/17 should fit the wheel and it is not dangerously stretched. I did it for my old RPF1s and they were perfect for some spirited driving and street. I wouldn't track them with them though.
Fitment wise i reckon +22 will be wider and better. But if you want to run it safe, +35 is fine and it will give you a track lookInstagram: @ictorv2 & @00zaku
