I didn't spec the wheels I have now (Lazi did) but it does seem they're borderline aggressive when the car was lowered on s-techs (compared to being aired out etc.)

This is a shot I took when I had smaller tires on them:



I've since gone up a size front (235/35)and rear (265/30), and I rolled the fenders as well.


any shots on how flush the front wheels sit? your front rims are the same size/offset as the ones i was looking for my front.

Since you aren't on airbags, it won't be pertinent to your situation. It will sit like 8.5 +35 which a ton of people have.

fronts are 19x8.5 +36 I believe, that picture was taken when I was lowered on Tein S techs and stock shocks. I had a tiny bit of camber as you can see, right now with the air ride setup I have they're way more sunk in due to more camber etc.

I'm no master of fitment. I have unflush Enkeis. That can fit pretty easy depending on tire/suspension.

18x9 +15 will fit easy.. a simple fender roll should do just fine..

you could run with a 225, or 235/40

and coilovers would help.



its pretty simple dude.
dont think just do!

How would this same setup work out with 245s?

Edit: Just realized this isn't the Will it Fit thread, my bad lol

JUS ROLL YOUR FENDERS!!!!

the lower the offset the more your rim sticks out.. the higher the number the more they sink in..

225,235, will have a stretch,

245 not so much

I think that's his point, it's not as easy as simply rolling the fenders. When things start to get aggressive in the rears, the carpet fender liner and bumper connection points start coming into play quite a bit.

When I saw these rpf1's on your car it made my decision hard for my next setup in wheels. I am still torn in between rpf1, nto3 or fno1rc for some smaller wheels with beefy tires

I wouldn't get FN's just because everyone has them I owned some nt03's for about a week before they were stolen, but they were sexy!

Fn's are fanboy dorifto wheels, at least here anyway, I see them on just about everything, almost worse than when spinners were popular. I think the Rpf01's are dope, I see them alot as well but on a different crowd/type of car, what about these or some CCw's?

You could get baller fitment and they'd be light as crap, probably too much $$$ if it's just for track wheels though
