anybody have RPF1's in 17x8, 17x9?
I'd like to test fit 17x8 +45 (or +35) and 17x9 +45 (or +35) on my FD RX-7. I've got StopTech brakes up front and '99+ spec RX-7 rear brakes, would like to confirm fitment before buying wheels for it.
Enkei says that the +45 should fit, but Tire Rack only shows +35 fitments, and haven't confirmed fitment over the StopTechs/99+ RX-7 calipers.
Would prefer +45...
Anyway, if yer nearby and don't mind me trying on your wheels, I'll buy you a beer or three afterwards

I know people have trouble fitting +45 over spoon calipers, so I'm guessing there might be some clearance issues with your stoptechs. Best bet is the route youre heading and trying to find a test fit.
what are the specs of the wheels you currently have that clear your brake setup?

Here's the StopTech template for the front fitment, if anyone could compare this against the 17x8 +45 Enkeis that would be *really* appreciated!

Currently on TE37s in 17x8.5 +40, 17x9.5 +40, which clear with plenty of room to spare (~3/4" clearance behind spoke up front, ~1 1/2" in back).
