I just recently puchased Matte Black RPF1's 17x8 17x9 with new 225/255 RE01R's. im going to an autocross with stock oem AP1 suspension. Will i rub if I hit a corner really hard? Should I do any fender work before tmw? Ive tried searching but I dont feel like Ive received a 100% answer.

 

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but where did you find matte black rpf1 for sale. especially the rear wheels?

 

GT Motoring

 

Yes, and yes......

I would roll front and rear and move rear bumper tabs....

 

Dude... NO and NO. If he's on stock suspension he WILL NOT RUB. He just needs 2 degrees negative camber front and rear and he's "A OK". I know because I HAVE THE SAME WHEELS.

 

///MIKE i just PM'd you with more questions.


and 2ooo thanks for the advice but I know fronts dont need to be rolled

 

....and the same tires?

 

U'll be fine stock height with those sizes.

 

What difference does it make if you're at stock height or lowered?

Certainly you won't rub while the suspension is not under load, but under full compression a 225/45/17 on a 45 offset has been known to rub. And tweak fenders if, at the very least, the liner tabs are not bent back.

I'm not saying this is going to happen, just that it could and has happened to people in similar situations. Why risk it?

 

i rubbed lightly in the rears. thanks guys i have nothing to really worry about
