I noticed you're running the 18x9.5 for RPF1s as opposed to the typical 17" sizes for track days. Any issues with rubbing especially during track days or spirited backroads/canyon runs?

Sorry that's been a month since me replying...
Part of it is that I like the look of 18s.. imo they fill the space nicer. Also, I wanted 9.5" wide wheel for the power I'm making. It allows me to run a wider tire if I need to better than just a 9".
However, I did play with the idea of going down in size again for weight reduction.. but I haven't been convinced yet.
No rubbing whatsoever. I run a -3.5 camber in the front and -2.5 in the rear.
It did seem like I rubbed when my camber was any less than -2 in the front. (my paint chipped off and now rust is forming
) The back has never rubbed for me though.
the only other thing that does rub is my verus brake ducts, but only a little bit and it's not even a big deal. I'm running 2 spacers that came with the brake ducts to prevent more rubbing. So I've limited my steering radius a little bit. Again, no big deal since I don't need the wide turning radius when I'm on track.
