Will the 32 offset, 17 x 9 in the RPF1 work fine on stock suspension?

I believe tire rack states it is an aggressive fitment and revommends aftermarket suspension

It'll poke out. Et35 pokes out in the front a lot if you don't lower it. Et35 is perfect for the rear. So just consider add an extra 3 mm out. There a plenty of threads showing this fitment

A 245/40 tire on a 17x9+42 will fit lowered but does not allow enough front strut clearance for camber bolts. You'll have to either use wheel spacers or camber plates if you want/need more negative camber.

Correct, they won't rub or poke and you'll have this much clearance with the stock front struts.

Camber bolts are not required and you will gain some negative camber anyway just by lowering the suspension. Additional camber is usually beneficial to those who track/autocross or slammed cars with wheel offsets too high to fit them under the fenders. In your case you should have no issues with the fit.

Thanks. Another guy said that the issue here is the wheel size 17x9 +42 i have already the wheels and my lowering springs here but i havnt installed it yet because i dont want the wheel/tires to rub. Because if i will have a problem maybe ill just change my wheels bring it back to the seller. So you have the same set up abd specs sir?

My setup is 17x9+42 Rota Titan wheels, 245/40R17 Direzza ZII tires, RCE yellow springs, stock struts and stock bolts/alignment. I do not rub under any conditions including autocross. The above picture was taking at normal ride height with the above setup.

garfull · 09-22-2013, 03:12 PM

Yeah this setup will be fine. You can actually use the OEM 14mm upper strut bolt and gain some camber and still clear. I did this but with et45 and a 3mm spacer which nets et42.

Were you able to max them out and still clear? I have a set of oem crash bolts I might throw in to add a little bit more negative and fine tune cross camber. With my HTV camber plates maxed out I'm at -1.9L/-2.2R.

garfull · 09-22-2013, 07:06 PM

Yeah I pushed the brake assembly as far in as I could before tightening it down. From the looks of it, the front went from -.5 to -1.5 degrees of camber.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to install them and play around with settings a little.

garfull · 09-23-2013, 09:08 PM

Got my alignment done and it actually landed at -1.1 on both a sides. Sometimes it jumped to -1.2.
