Car: 93 Blue hatch with Uras full kit

Please comment if you view my thread!!! Even if its just an opinion on what you think.
Hey guys,
I have a daytona blue 93 hatch with a uras knockoff kit, tenzo springs, full catback exhaust e.t.c.
Okay my question is.. I'm looking at wheels and I purchased my tires already.
They are 225/45/17. Im looking at p45r's that are 17x9 +12. I don't want to roll my fenders
because I have body filler in the passenger quarter. Will this fit flush?
Second question. What did you guys with aero do to your exhaust when you put your rear bumper on?
My exhaust needs to be extended and pulled a tad bit to the right.. Did you guys have this problem?
I checked the hangers and can't get it to move over.
Thanks for the help
btw: I do have the type x blinkers installed and working now but haven't had time to take pics
I liked my car a lot better with stock bumpers but I might change my opinion when I get wheels

looks clean (except for the blinker tint :facepalm: )

but i think the p45r's would be sick, but not sure about the rolling...and depending on how much filler u have if u have a skiller roller, he might be gentle enough not to crack it up... i have buddies who had the same issue and got rolled and it turned out fine...

for fitting 17x9+12's... rolling your fenders are absolutely necessary. No way around it... unless of course you go super neg camber

Okay thanks. I already bought the tires so i have to stick the 45 series.
I got a hella good deal so i took them. Yeah I know my wheels don't look good :sad:
but it didn't look too bad when my car was kit-less. I want to paint the p45r's white when i get them but may keep the sports bronze.I don't get why i need to roll the fenders though when my car isn't slammed? How does the 12mm make me have to roll it? I have a lot of room between the fender and tire and the 45 series i'm putting on it is almost the same diameter as the stock tire

Yeah I need some kouki tails, the tint looks terrible :facepalm:
Speaking of tint, my windows are ridiculously see through. Lol
kouki tails and new rims ftw :mike

Yeah i checked out all the s13's on rimtuck and it looks like 17x9 in the front fits well with no fender work but the offset is 12 and i've been told i need to roll them but i'm not that low. Heres a pic of 17x9 +12.
But my tires are 225/45/17 that i would put them on.

Wheels with good fitment > Aero. Keep this in mind next time! I'd go for some kind of rota since you're four lug, like most of us. P45r, grid, optimus, are some nice ones

I purchased White Rota Grids today, they are 17x9 +12 and i'm putting them on 225/45/17 Hankook Ventus V12's.
Hope these will fit without modding fenders
