I don't know what you mean by "tearing up fenders and rear bumper" but a roll/pull/relocate would do it easy.

It's really not that bad.

I am okay with rolling but not really flaring/pulling the fenders. Max front camber would be -2.0° and -3.0 on the rear. I do not want to rely on heavy fender mods to make them fit. The RPF1s and NTO3+M are the only wheels in the size, weight, and decent offset for the S2000 that I have found in the range I am looking in.

17x9.5 +38 with 255/40/17 Rears. I had 17x9 +45 rears and they were much easier to fit. These are a pain in the ass.

^I told you. I posted the same thing pages ago about how much of a pain they were to fit. Going back I would never order the 9.5s again. Too much trouble for a wheel that pretty much looks exactly the same.

^-i agree 100%. I'm going to run a 245 in the rear for now and take it from there.

I wish they came more aggressive than +38 with the 9.5" ,as well I wished they gained more lip with lower offsets and wider widths. I have just always seen the RPF1 as such a timeless rim which fits the s2k perfectly.

^I completely agree. I'm at the point that I don't care that 1000 other people have them. I love the way they look on the s2k regardless. Even with unlimited funds they are easily top 5 in wheels I'd choose for the s2k.

I think that last pic is the first one to really capture the color of those wheels. It so many other pics they just look like sbc. Is that a real mugen top or one of the replicas?
