Maybe not the most original setup, but they're a proven design that's light, relatively strong, and reasonably priced.

I wondered that myself. Someone on FB is selling a set of used RPF1s with with those dimensions. I was concerned about the poke myself. He is running on 235/45 which is not wide enough for my needs anyway. I have pics of his setup and they looked decent enough, even with a little stretch. Just wondering if someone had any insight or experience with that offset.

Probably a typo, iirc the wheel specs are inscribed inside rpf1s including offset, ask for a picture.

Like this: 17x7.5 +48 offset

I asked for tons and actually talked to him on the phone!

Once they’re off, I’ll ask him to double check

You can tell just from the face of the wheel.

Anyone have the SPC rear lower arms with Delrin inserts? I'm about to throw them in the trash since they make so much noise. Have a way to shut them up?

Going to OE at my height would probably net me close to the same amount of camber, so definitely an option. I just don't want to do more work than I have to.

My vote for trash is because I hate aligning with them... Can't help on the noise issue, I have Racer-X and don't know how much they're contributing to road noise vs Raceseng top hats vs subframe/diff inserts. My exhaust is currently rather quiet. Will get louder once I can fix the FP I got so it actually fits...

Ask Rich. He has SPC LCAs with Delrin inserts

We have the SPC arm with the Delrin insert, doesn't make any noise. Did you try to over torque it? I don't think I used a torque wrench.

Did you replace the rear end links?

Nah torqued it to spec.

I took it all apart last night and figured it out. The right side bushing/insert didn't freely rotate, it was all bound up. Looks like it wasn't concentric when installed into the arm. Did a little machining to them and seems to be working fine now.

At least it's not only me who has a noise issue with Raceseng Top Hats, RacerX LCAs

So, I tried installing my new brake Centric rotors last night and could't get the stock rotors off. After almost 80k miles I guess they've rusted on to the hub. Any advice on how to get them off?
