17x7 +45 front.. that should handle 225 tires on stock fenders, .8-1'' drop, UK spec alignement (I think front is -1.25 camber or so), right?
And then 17x8 +45 rear with 245 (and 1.4-.5'' drop, -1.75 camber i think, stock fenders)?
just making sure before I order...
talked with highrpmek and i think im going 225/245 instead of 215/245... anybody suggest otherwise?
specific setup with be uk alignment, koni shocks/rsr springs, t1r strut bar...

Will the 9 in. +45s rub at all with a stock suspension setup? I'm having a hard time deciding what wheels to get this summer. I've been going back and forth with the RPF1s, Ultraleggeras, or whether I should go crazy with some RE30s.
The RPF1s are the best bang for the buck but I'm a little worried about rubbing.
I just don't know if I'm sold on the Ultraleggera's, I haven't really seen and good pics on the car.
An finally, I just having a hard time reconciling whether I can spend over $3k on the RE30s.

-.6 front
-1.9 rear
I cant remember exactly but its what I am running on my S. In the UK they dont have degrees of camber like us, I think they use seconds instead so you have to actually convert there specs to degrees
and yes you will be fine with that set-up. Those sizes and specs are almost the same as my old wheels and I was dropped 1.5" with UK spec alingment and never rubbed.

AP1 S2K - You the man. Love ya.
iCEE - more pics!!!
I don't feel like spending (approx) 10% more on caps... do the stock center caps fit? Otherwise I'll just paint the hub black (I think I'm getting black wheels).
