17x9.5 rpf1 on silverstone metallic
Does anyone have pics of rpf1's in 17x9.5 square sizing on a Silverstone Metallic AP2? I'm thinking about switching from my weds sports and would like to see the look. All colors of envies welcome

There is a specific RPF1 thread/gallery for your viewing pleasure just fyi.
But my sig shows the 9.5 rears, which are as aggressive as you can really go without pulling the rear fenders or running in excess of -3 un functional camber. Im not running these up front, they just dont fit. Ive seen a few guys try, but every one of them had front fenders that looked like they seen 3 campaigns in Nam and had stretched undersized tires and they still stick out more then the rears, so looks goofy and tragic. Your best mate to the 9.5 +38 rear is either the 8.5 +40 convex face shown in my sig, or the 9 +45 concave face, both of which are within 2mm of each other on outer fitment, with the 8.5 slightly less aggressive. If you want a "square" look but one that still fits with standard fenders rolling/mods, then go with the +38 in the rear with a 245 or 255, and the 9 +45 up front with either a 235/40 or 245 up front. Stagger the tires to the rim width stagger for a similar appearing sidewall stretch and best overall handling. The other option to go true full stagger is go with the more popular 9 +45 all around.
Thats the best advice I think you will find for an aggressive fitting RPF1, take it or leave it.

Agree with the above.. I ran 9.5 rear and 9 front on my last s2k. If I had to do Rpf1s all over again on a stock body I would just do 9+45 square.. Much less of a headache to fit, and it gives you the ability to rotate tires if you go non staggered with your tires.
