I know Pete did, but he was supposed to get the guy that did mine to do his, but he bailed.

You just have to catch Stephen on a group roll, and get all yours done, correctly, cheaply, quickly.

He rolled my rears, and all 4 on my girls TSX. Hell of a job. Awesome guy.

MUAY_THAIerd is talking about the same guy I am.

Cool! Well the rims I'm really look into now are only 17x8.5 do you know if that will be ok to run up front. I'm looking at getting the 5zigen pro racers.

W/E the falk fits . Havent even thought of that yet . Right now I have some almost new Kumho ecsta xs and I figure the rears might be able to be re-used if I pick the rims up soon.

Well, for reference, I had 225/45/17's in the front, on a 7.5 wide rim +50 offset, dumped on coilovers, and I now have the infamous "S2000 Fender Bite".

I now run 215's, with almost 2 degrees negative camber, same size wheel, same offset, and come no where near to rubbing. My front fenders aren't rolled, either.

If you run a little negative camber, and a small enough tire, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. A lot of the RPF-1 guys are running 8" +45 in the front and are doing ok.

I'm also curious why you want a 8.5 in the front. Are you going non-staggered?
