Just for the record the 17x9.5 +38s are a pain to fit out back if you're trying to run a 255. I don't care what anyone says it took a lot more work than I thought to make them not rub without having to run more camber than what is ideal for performance (in my book once you go past -3.5 out back you're starting to hurt things more than help them). I will say though tire choice will make a huge difference. Mine are 255 dunlop star specs which just might be the widest street tire 255 available.

225/45 for the front and 255/40 for the rear.
How much more are you lowered than what the espelir asd springs ?
would the ride height being a bit taller make it easier to fit ?
So what did you have to do to the fenders ? and is -3.5 still god performance wise ?

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of getting into the RPF1 game as well, as I was inspired by this pic:
I assume the owner is on s2ki. Anyone know the specs on the wheels? Looks to be 18".
