Hey guys i know some of you here are running RpF1's so you can help me.

I am looking to pick up a set in the next few weeks and not sure what size to go with,

Tire rack has Fronts 17x7 with 45 mm offset and rears 17x8 with 45 mm offset as well.

But at gruppe s i can pick up 17x9 rears with 45mm offset. with fronts at 17x7.5 with 48 mm offset.

Help me out guys, I am slightly lost.

I am also on stock height but am going to lower it as well. a conservative drop like an inch of so.


Thanks in advance

personally, I would do the 17x 7.5 or even the 17x8 + 45 Front and the 17x9 +45 rear. They would be more aggresive than the 7 and 8 combo and may require a little rolling and some camber.

17x9 all around looks the best, but requires the most work to get to fit correctly. I've strayed away from RPF1s cause I'm paranoid about rolling the fenders...

17x9 +45 all around is definitely the nicest.

If you want it a bit conservative go with 17x8 +45 and 17x9 +45 in the rear.

But you will have to roll the rear fenders if you want to run the 225/255 tires. Some camber will help too.

I hate the 17x7 and 17x8 look. They both dont have the concave face.

With 17x9 in the rear i wouldnt have to roll my fenders till i lower it right?

kenny_son

hmmm.....im not quite sure about that one.

I would think that you wouldnt have to.

Maybe just run some camber just incase?
