RPF1 For FC....Where?

I am looking to buy rpf1's for my turbo II, I would like to know where there is a vendor or a shop that I can order them from, also, what the widest front + rear wheel + tire sizes for a 17" rpf1 that I can buy to fit my T2. Thanks for your help everyone.

go with 17X8F 17X9R with +35mm offseet for both. You can fit 225s up front and 255s in the back with that combo.

I have RPF1's on a 91 TII

17 x 9.5 +38mm w/ 275

17 x 8.5 +35mm 2/ 235

I had 17 x 9's up front but I run 1 deg neg and it was to close to bumping the coil

I think the rp02's are discontinued too. I was searching myself because I was considering a 17x9 fitment of rpf1's but can't seem to find anyone still carrying them.. I wasn't "that" crazy about them looks wise but good pricing and very light..

Check these two places though, they don't list whether they're in stock so it could be they just have to update their website but worth a try..


http://www.racerwheel.com/wheels-rim...ges-enkei.html

http://www.customwheelsdirect.com/Enkei/RPF1.htm


What led me to believe they are discontinued is the fact that tires.com doesn't carry them anymore and I could have sworn that I saw a site the other day saying they were discontinued..

Are you going to run coilovers? My buddy has RPF1's on his GTUs and loves them. They are so light. He's running coilovers with a 235/40/17 up front on the 8 +35 but he can't run as much negative camber as he'd like. So if you're gonna run coils then get a 225/45/17.

Peace.

The 8" is +35mm? didn't know that..... I have Tein RA's and run 1 deg neg. up front w/ a 17 x 8.5 +35mm and 235.... I switch my front rims to achieve 1 deg. I had 17 x 9's up front but it would have rub'd w/ 1 deg neg..

I miss the apperance of the 9" up front...the 8.5's aren't as lippy if you get my drift?

With a single perch coilover system like the RA or Ground Controls you can clear with that backspacing depending on how much your car is lowered. No matter what, all the twin perch systems I've seen like FLT-A2, Zeal B6, and Tein REs actually make you lose backspacing no matter what and the +35 with that size tire, ya gave me like, not enough camber at all.
