Default Widen rpf1 17x11.5 +63 295/35/17 kumho xs

Widening was done here. And cost $250 per rim.

Thanks to s2000junky for doing this first. So I just copied what he did.

These rimes started as 17x9.5 +38 rpf1. Then I had them widen on the inside to 17x11.5 which makes the off set +63. Tires are 295/35/17 kumho xs. This should fit great on the stock body with just rolled rear fenders. This uses exactly all the space in the wheel well. This should help with traction for my new stroker motor.

I'll update with more pics of them on my car later.

The v720 (xs replacement) will be coming out this spring so will hope to be a moot point. I will probably be one of the first to try them out as I will be due for another round at that time.

Nice! I kind of want to do a custom RPF1 setup also and paint them mag blue or something different than typical silver/gold/black.
