Message	I've had a set of 17x9+35 RPF1 in my garage collecting dust and I figured it was about time I get them fitted. I had to use a 10mm spacer to clear my brembo calipers, so the actual offset is more like 17x9+25. I'm changing the rubber to R-compound I think, but was trying to see if the 255 40 profile in the front is safe. I have a feeling that the 245 would be safer. I was concerned about the metal tabs that are on the (broken) fender liner. It looks like they'll strike rubber if i go over a corner or get a 1.5" of compression on the shocks.

Fitment? - evan_aggie 18:01:51 11/23/14 I removed those tabs, they were gouging the tread shoulders - LJZTT 18:14:58 11/23/14 i was worried about that.. guess ill remove them. (n/m) - evan_aggie 18:38:23 11/23/14 Did you roll as well? I did and the fender liners hang down - Red Hawk (CO) 10:02:41 11/24/14 What's the diff between roll & pull? - evan_aggie 10:31:07 11/24/14 You are right, but yes there is a good 3/8" on the fronts - Red Hawk (CO) 11:46:42 11/24/14 unless I am mistaken, the metal tabs he was referring to - LJZTT 14:50:18 11/24/14 looking for additional clearance, not rigidity. (n/m) - Antihero 11:37:39 11/25/14 just the rear fenders, there is little to nothing to roll on - LJZTT 14:48:11 11/24/14 That's what I thought. I looked and saw nothing...

(n/m) - evan_aggie 19:11:15 11/23/14 I had 17x9+22 with no spacer, they looked similar to that... - Nate (NoVA) 13:34:47 11/24/14 You mean 17x8.5+30? I don't see 8.5+35mm as an option. (n/m) - evan_aggie 13:39:01 11/24/14 Yes, I think you're right. I took some photos for you. (n/m) - Nate (NoVA) 11:52:14 11/25/14 19? no (n/m) - BlackholeZ 22:37:30 11/23/14 What you need is a +45 wheel with that 10mm spacer. (n/m) - MixManMash 19:28:18 11/23/14 Yeah, RPF1 aren't designed well to clear brakes. (n/m) - evan_aggie 20:03:34 11/23/14 Amen to that (n/m) - vorpalZ 20:51:56 11/23/14 Yep. A +45 with a 10mm spacer won't clear 13" Stoptechs. (n/m) - MixManMash 07:37:54 11/24/14 Is that a blue colored valve stem? (n/m) - ForceFedTT (SoCal) 19:47:28 11/23/14 Yup. (n/m) - evan_aggie 20:06:33 11/23/14 That's very similar to how my new tires fit - BlackholeZ 21:57:43 11/23/14 Anyone 1 have Sawbonez contact info? Email addr. looks - evan_aggie 07:39:39 11/24/14 You'll be fine. The barrel of the wheel allows more room. (n/m) - Nate (NoVA) 13:35:49 11/24/14 Those tabs will push up a good bit- how will you fasten your - BoneZ (MD) 11:28:59 11/24/14
