Default The new wheels!

Sizing is as follows...

17x7.5 +45 w/ 225/45-17
17x8.5 +48 w/ 255/40-17

lowered on Koni adjustables and H&R springs, front on upper perch and rear on lower.

The rear is still rubbing after a mild roll/hammer.

Im going to do the cutting method, saw some magazine do it to fit RPF1's, heading to Home Depot now to see if they have a electric reciprocating saw!

You can pick those up for a little more than some ap2 v2's. They are Rota's but I have been thinking about getting them for a long time.

i think they were 680 shipped...but if you get the 255's in the rear...plan for some modification to make them fit

granted the only tools i have used are:

metal sheers
reciprocating saw
tape
assortment of hamers
reg tools to max out camber temporarily(alignment on monday!)


i have already rolled the lip up out of the way, then cut it off, so thers about 1/8-1/4 lip still left to add strength to the fender. and its STILL RUBBING but on the bumper tab, thats getting gone saturday tho so it should all be clearing after that....i hope.

IMO its all worth the work to make them fit...they are pure sex....

you dont get that stance with "proper offsets"
