Default rpf1 17x9 +45 x4

just got my rpf1's 17x9 -45 all the way around wrapped in a 225/255 combo
and my car is pretty low, I have seen alot lower with the same rims
so how the heck do you guys do it.
Am I not running enough camber from the factory?
I rolled the heck out of my rear fenders, I didnt pull them but I did roll them pretty good and I am still scraping.
Any help would be great I cant seem to find anything in the search.

how much camber are you running?
did you relocate the bumper tabs?
did you shave a lil off the lip of the bumper(this is where most are scrapping if they've done the other 2 mods)?

depends on how low you are.

you can get up to -3.5 in the fronts and -4.5 in the rears (assuming the car has never been in an accident)

I have 2.2* in the back, 1.0* in the front of camber. I am maxed out on the RA coilovers and I am running 17x9 +45 rpf1s with 255s all around.

The back was rolled and the bumper screw was moved, the front is rolled and pulled.


If you are running -45 offset like you wrote, I tip my hat to you.

I ma at stock camber, I am going to get the inlinement in about a week or so.
How much camber should I run. I only have lowering springs not coilovers.
I am lowered like 2-1/2 all the way around.


I am relocating the bumper tabs tonight. I havent seen a pic, but I am assuming its the screw that connects the back bumber to the fender?

For shaving the lip off the bumber this is the part that is like right by the tab I will be cutting off?

Thanks for the response

tell them to give you enough camber to clear the fenders.
