I ended up getting 17x9+45 all the way around.

 

as far as i know the 8.5in rpf1s will have the conVEX face. outward curving

obviously your rears 9.5in will be concave (somewhat inward curving)

if your asking what youd have to do to fit these... depends on tire size. 215 or 225 good camber, tight roll or cut, MAYBE some pulling.

 

Exactly, it's not worth going past 9" in the rear. Your going to have "the Look" and nothing more. You'll have less rubber touching the road than when the car was stock. Just do the 9" in the rear. I have it and I love it. They are concave and they look great!

 

if you are trying to go low, go with a 215 in the front, 225 will fit with some more negative camber.

this is with fenders rolled in front + a good drop

 

Thank's for the positve input guy's.

///MIKE do you have a pic of your set up? and what are your spec's front and rear?(Are you suggesting 17x9+35-R 17x8.5+40-F) I like the idea of getting more contact, I'm in the process of a (FI) build and shooting for 450 to the wheels so 17x9's may be the way to go.

I origanaly wanted to go with FN01R-C 17x10's

 

didnt want to start up a new thread so il just bump this one up with my question.

I want my car to have the 'tough' look and stance so for the fronts im going to go with 17x9 +45 245/40/17 tyres

For the rear i havnt decided whether to go with 17x9 +45 or 17x9.5 +38, Would there be any noticable differences aesthetically between the 2 fitments?? What im trying to gauge is if there is no real/major difference then i will stick to 17x9 +45 all round.

I have seen Dorby's setup for 17x9.5+38 all round. I love that look but not sure how the car will handle. Can someone please add input into this?

thank you
