(HELP) 17x9 RPF1 meaty fitment

[Toyarzee]

It's the spring perch on the strut that you'll rub, not the coil itself. And no, not any bigger in diameter.

I've someone reassure me it will fit & someone tell me it won't fit without coils...

Anyone want to chime in before I buy a setup that doesn't fit?

I had same wheels, same springs, same tires, and it fit fine. No rubing. Plus camber was set at -1.2 front and -1.5 rear.

There you have it

For autox last year I ran a set of RPF1's 17x9 +35 with 255/40/17 Hankook RS3 lowered with swift spec r springs. I would only rub at full lock while reversing out of my driveway. It was rubbing on the inside frame not the shock. Otherwise no rub and no issues. Going with a set of 245/40/17 will be fine.

I too want to get 17x9 wheels on my eibach pro kit. Sadly they only offer it in +42. Anyone know if I'll have any problems with rubbing or anything

[KevinK121]

+42 would bring the wheel in more than +35. You'd worry about rubbing on the springs over the fender in that case.

Fortunately though, you could use some spacers to move the wheels out a bit. Shouldnt need more than 10mm.

Id imagine this combo is probably described on here somewhere.

I've been looking for this answer for like weeks! I have the same exact wheel and tire set up and thought about running the same springs but with bilstein shocks. How much camber were you running up front and how were you able to achieve it? Are you still running this set up? And how satisfied are you with it?

I was running around -2 degrees just using camber bolts. It worked well for that season but just wasn't as competitive. I would imagine with bilstein shocks it would be pretty awesome.

I moved up to a set of Fortune Auto 500's that I got cheap. Spent a year on those and had them rebuilt and upgraded to 510's.

So with -2 up front there was no rub at all on the spring or spring perch? Would you also happen to have a picture of your car in this set up that isn't an action photo? Thanks!

Im running 235/45 on 17x9 35 RPF1s right now, with a -2 camber up front. it close to the struts atm, if i decide to run a 245s i think it might rub slightly on the struts. you can always throw on a 3mm spacer which is "safe" to run on oem studs if you experiencing any rubbing.

Here are a few that are not action pics. Looking up the camber bolts it was probably closer to -1.7 than -2.

@Shneegle thanks, that looks great! So this was just springs, camber bolts, and adjustable rear LCAs?

I recently moved and have to raise my car a bit, I am on HSD coils and they have unfortunately seized up hard.

My cheapest option is to put the stock struts in, but I do want that slight drop so Ill be getting the trd lowering springs.

I am running rpf1 17x9 +35 on 245/40/17 mpss. I am seeing that a couple of the guys here have that set up and it works fine with the 1" drop from the trd lowering springs.

Just to confirm before i make the purchase are the camber bolts necessary for the fitment ? Or was that installed because you wanted that slight tuck in for the wheels?

Thanks!
