Hey I've been looking through the rpf1 threads but I can't seem to find my answer...I'd like to get a set of rpf1 for track and street use with a somewhat agressive look without having to do fender works and from my research it looked like 17x8 +45 and 17x9+45 would be great with a 225 45 17 and 255 40 17 although I'm not quite sure if it meets my requirement. Also what would it do if instead of going 17x8 in front I'd go 17x9? Would it be more concave? I'd like to keep the handling balance perfect as it is too. No understeer neither oversteer. Is it possible with this setup?

 

What year is your S?

With any of the setups you have listed you will have to roll your fenders and relocate the rear tabs. If you want no fender work you want the PF01 in the +60 offset. You can do 17x9 +45 all around but again you will need to roll fenders and the car will feel different with the added grip up front.

 

My car is bone stock. I'd have to roll the fenders even with stock height?

 

Oups sorry didn't read correctly. It's a 2003

 

Yes.

 

Ok and what is the difference between the 8 vs 9 width? Is it more concave?

 

I believe the face on the 9's is the more concave face and the 8's have a convex face. Someone that has RFP1's can probably chime in and confirm.

 

Yes that's correct. The switch over point is from 8.5" to 9" widths.

 

Ok and if i'd go with 17x9 +45 on each corners, do I have to roll the fe ders a lot of just a bit?

 

Never heard of someone rolling the fenders just a bit. Either you do it or you don't

Yes you need to do it front and rear, and you better run no less then -2 camber up front or you will be pulling them too (assuming your running at least a 225)
