How do you guys feel about the non staggered setup? Does it really impact handling?

 

I love my gold RPF1's but that nickle plating would look so good on my black car. Gold plated would be baller also

 

this isnt SBC.. sbc is a lighter finish

 

arriving 5 days early i received my new 17x9 45+ RPF1's today(props to tirerack.com).... 30 min's later my new Kics show up.... and soon after that they're mounted

i took a couple quick pics to spread my excitement. tomorrow i'll have better pro ones taken by Leont.

FYI about tire sizes. i utilized my stock AP2 tire setup for now, when these are worn i'll switch up the fronts to something a little more meaty.

 

not a fan of open lugs, bot overall looking good. hope to be pulling similar camber in the rear once i get mine mounted.

 

just a question becuase i get confused on this..for example what would stick out farther a 17x9 +43 with a 245 tire or a 17x9 +45 with a 255. I get confused on how the 2mm offset diff compared to the 245 vs 255 tire. Like is the 255 10mm wider than the 245?

 

A +43 wheel will stick out 2mm farther itself than the +45, but then like you said, a 255 tire is 10mm wider than a 245. The extra 10mm will stick out 5mm at the outside and 5 on the inside, so in the end the rim/tire setup at +45 with 255 tire should stick out 3mm farther.

 

nicely put my friend lol.
