I guess that’s the only options. Would like something other than RPF1s since so many cars use them
Go with function over form here 😉 they are light, strong and come in a 9" that will fit! Just not a common height/width, mostly only racers want those.

Looks like Work's can be had in 17x9 but the offset is in the slightly poking range at et38:

Everybody uses them because the price is right and their weight is light. They're a little prone to bent rims when used for street duty, so I only recommend them for sporting events. Or you can get forged 18x9 for twice as much and pay 30% more for 265/35-18 tires. I'm still using the 265s for National competition, but the 255/40-17 for local events to keep more money in my bank account.
 
Hi, new here. Are there any off-the-shelf 17x9 wheels that fit 245 or 255 for the FoST?
Not really off the shelf but i went with 17x9 Forgestar F14. They easily accommodate a 255 tire and only poke a bit at +38.

I want to do 17s so I can throw on some used tires from my STU car. Seems like RPF1 is the only choice.
