Concave means that the the wheels face curves inward. It has a shape like a bowl.

^^^Right and convex is the opposite though these terms are not directly related to wheels.

That's not so easy to answer. You might want to look at the stock wheels of a 5 or 6 series bmw. Those come to mind as being concave.

Well, some wheels come with different "faces" based on the wheels specs. So a particular wheel like the Work CR Kai comes in both a concave face (17X9 +44) and a regular face (17X8 +47).

So if I were to just tell you about a wheel, you would look it up and sometimes they will show you one face and some times another.

I think there are like 3 levels of aggressiveness.

A 7"F 8"R setup, 8"F 9"R setup, and 8.5"F 9.5"R, most people run the 8" 9" with a 215 front tire and a 245 rear.

You should check the RPF1 thread in the gallery, I think there are lots of people who have posted their specs and you get to see what different setups look like.

People are real cool on here, send them a pm and most people are good with sharing their experience with their setup

You can also look at the SSC thread in the gallery and then when you see a drop and fit you like ask about their specs. Maybe they are running a wheel with a similar fit to the rpf1's you like.
