Doing that is also not legal in STR

 

If you want a better measurement, I have 245/40/17 DDSS (the rears) my 17x8 Kosei K4R. If you tell me exactly how to measure this - I can measure this for you! My fronts have 235/40/17. I was nervous running a 245/40/17 with the 50 offset, I might have rub issues

 

For anyone that didn't see this...



I'm guessing the price is around $2400-2600

 

nice! Does anyone have a set mounted yet? I cant say I am crazy about the look but who knows they might work.

 

 

^^^ looks kinda busy but not bad!

 

someone with photoshop skills should slam the car in that picture so we can see what it would look like.

 

I paid $700 a wheel x4 = $2800 + $200 shipping = $3000

 

Regarding RPF1's for STR

A while back I mentioned that Bob Endicott had been running RPF1's. At nationals there was some word going around about Bob's wheels so I thought I would let you guys know how he is able to run RPF1s in STR Legal Trim.






Stock Reference:

Bob had his upper control arms cut down and rewelded to make it essentially his camber adjustment. This allows for more clearance inboard so that the rim does not come in contact with the upper fender. Bob runs something close to -5º of front camber and has more than enough clearance from the fenders. RPF1s fit in the rear of the s2000 in STR trim as long as you run more than 3.5º of camber with no contact with the bumper tab. Guy Ankeny verified this on our car while we were in Lincoln test fitting Bob's RPF1s with Toyos.

So, if you want to run RPF1s you'll need at the minimum -4.5º of front camber with shorter upper arms and -3.5º of rear camber.

 

Well, I guess that's one way to save a few hundred dollars and not buy camber joints or off-setted ball joints. Holly camber though! I'm assuming he's not getting even tire wear or even temps across the tire?

Did he do very well?
