I just ordered my set of 17x9 +35 RPF1 in gunmetal! Also got the RPF1 center caps and Muteki SR48 open in blue.

A member PM'd me and asking to see a couple more pictures of how my wheels fit and whether it tucked or not. Decided I'll post them on here to help people out. The wheels are 17x9 +35 on 245/40 Hankook v12s. I'm on Fortune Auto coils dropped about 1.75 inches. My front camber is 2.5 degrees and the rear is 2.3 degrees. Camber on the front is from the OEM camber bolt and close to max camber plates. The rear is natural. I really should learn how resize pics before posting...



That's my ride height. I would say its about a 1.75 inch drop. I'm on Fortune Auto coils.



That's my top view of the front. My camber settings in the front is 2.5 degrees. I used the oem camber bolts plus close to max on the camber plates. The top of the tire is tucked in but you can see the bottom pushing out quite a bit.



Here you can see some more of the camber and how much it pokes out.



The rear is about the same deal in height.



The clearance from tire to fender in the rear is basically the same as the front. I only have 2.3 degrees of camber and it fits very nicely without the top of the rim poking out of the fender.



The tire sticks past the mudguards on both the front and rear and it gets sort of annoying because it throws water all over my white car so I'm forever dirty.



And one more pic of dat ass. I don't think I'm on level ground for this one though.

One thing I never fully understood, is the whole "tucked" look just for aesthetics? This might answer my own question but I guess it had slight better Aero and perhaps necessary for spring travel when you're lowered?

You mean running negative camber? It gives you more grip on the corners.

No, I get the camber but just the tucking in itself. I'm planning on running my +35 9" on stock with just camber bolts so I know it will poke out a bit. Wondering if it causes any issue other than aesthetics. Thanks

It affects the scrub radius but I don't know the science and effects behind changing this variable. Try to google it and within an hour you'll understand.

Word from home says my wheels arrived! 17x9, +35 in gold. I can't wait to get home and play!



Just need some tires now! I'll have to update with some pics once I get home in a month or so.

Wrapped with 245 PSS tires.
Pokes in the front, going to get some more camber dialed in.
