Just some info for the million people who are asking about tucking 17 x 9's all the way around on a lowered car. I just finished my wheels / tires / suspension a few days ago and I had to do the following....

I'm running a 17 x 9 +45 set up, non staggered.

What you need to do.

Front -

- cut off the three fender tabs starting from the one closest to the headlight then make your way around.
- Use a fender roller to fold the lip then flair it out.
- Have a dremel handy so you can cut the shit out of the plastic in the fender well cause it will rub if you are really low.

Rears -

- Pull off the black rubber piece that covers the lip of the wheel well and place in garbage can.
- Fold the lip of the fender well then flair out your fender.
- Relocate the tab / point where your fender and bumper meets. (cut off the tab and drill new holes a few inches back)

P.S. stop crying about the paint you chipped and go buy some touch up...

I will post pics soon as I do not want to unveil the new RPF1's with out the last final touch..

Hope I helped...
^^^^^^ SPOT ON!!

thats what most people need to know including myself, could you possibly put up pics of the work of the inside arches you have done too please

Cheers Tim

Definitely... I'm doing my best to button up the car and get it ready for RTA on June 26th. I will be driving out with two other guys from my team. We have a Civic Si and a Nismo 350Z coming out besides myself.

Are you competing? Coming to watch?
