rpf1 help
 
hey guys, well i have a question on rpf1s
so i dont wanna roll my fenders at all on my S. I know i cannot run the 9" on the rear when being lowered, so i was wondering if i run the 17x7.5 +48 front and 17x8 +45 rear with stock ap2 tires, can i be low and avoid rolling my fenders? my car is about at the tire right now, like no finger gap, and i was wondering could i run that and avoid rolling and rubbing?
thanks guys, all help is appreciated!!!

Yea those offsets will work when lowered too. 7.5 front an 8 in the rear.

okay cool man thanks!
i figured the 8 in the rear is weak so it should fit lol

You can run the 9 in the rear with the 245/40R17 and some negative camber.
If I can help let me know.

I have a quick question regarding these wheels in 17 X8 and 17X9, how much lighter are they compared to AP2 OEM? thanks

No. :(

Stock height you might be able to get away with it. Just roll your fenders and get the 9" rear, it looks so much better.

Gabster, I just posted in the RPF1 thread regarding weight. Refer there if you like.

The RPF1 is 15.9 lbs in the 17X9 and the factory 17X8.5 is 20.5 lbs.

By the way we do have a 17x9 black wheel on order but not due into us till 07/25. If I can help let me know.
