The wheel does poke slightly (5-10mm) but it is hardly noticeable

Rears not tried

Thanks for the info. They RFP1's? What O/S have you gone for on the back?

Along the journey this week I've decided the colour has to be bronze so that narrows things down quite a bit. Rota Fighter Drifts I think. And pretty sure they'll fit too

17x9 +45 front and rear. I am waiting for my darn arch roller to arrive, so I can fit them.

Yes RPF1's

RPF1's are such a good look, they just don't seem to date!

Thanks for all your help guys. Rather fortuitously the exact wheels I ended up deciding on came up for sale on here, so here they are.

So far they've all fallen on Sundays I've already had things on unfortunately but hope to get to one soon. Will have the Veilside rep boot lip on it by then too. (it's in the spray shop)
