Official Stoptech BBK Wheel Fitment Thread
#272
Can anyone chime in how large of a spacer is required for rpf1 or nt03 in17x9 or 17x9.5 +38? Would really want to avoid running 10mm since that really defeats the purpose of buying rims specifically to reduce unsprung weight.

Not exactly sure on the 17x9 +45 or 9.5 +38 RPF1 but Im guessing somewhere between a 15-20mm spacer (they don't clear the stock calipers by much). 17x9.5 +44 and +38 NT03 clear by a lot and I know that for a fact NT03 are a MUCH better track wheel than the RPF1 because they are much stronger and more rigid.

Thx! Is that what you are running? Any pictures if so?

My set hasn't come yet but I know someone who runs the +44 and uses the Stoptech 328mm BBK... It has a lot of room to spare since the spokes on the 17" nt03s are very convex.
