pic request: RPF1 17/18 set-up

[Stephen@NCAutoUSA]

In my case i have a front bbk but it was designed to fit in the oem 16 inch wheel by comptech.However to my eye there is a lot of extra spoke clearance with the rpf1 in 17/8 at 45 et.The rear 18 inch was where I had the brake issues....with the 9.5 I need at least a et of 35 which they don't make so I had to go with the 38 and use a 5mm spacer.Fender clearance is ok at the back.The Ra1 at 235 in front has just torn the liner,but only on the underside out of sight.

Ah ok. Yeah I figured I may need a spacer to clear.

Thanks man.

In the photo of our RPF1's in post #27, we have 25mm H&R spacers to clear the front Stoptechs.....don't see any way around that!

Brian, what width and offset are your front wheels?

7's (or 7.5's?) up front, but can't check the size or offset since they are on loan at the moment..........

They are a great choice, being both light weight and reasonably priced.

Our NSX's both run Advan Model 5's now, though ;^D
