I got the rears flipped yesterday when I got my Nvidia Exhaust installed. It's a lot quieter now.

So perhaps an ET42 wheel would be perfect?

N_I_N · 05-08-2013, 10:25 AM

+42 would surely have more room between the tire and strut hat, but it would also poke out more past the fenders too. Problem is, 17x9 RPF1's don't come in a 42 that I have seen, unless possibly in a 17x8.

I've only seen +45 or +35 in both 17x8 and 17x9 for RPF1's.

Looks good. Is that a straight 8 in the background?

I'm trying to confirm the answer to this question on other threads. But I'm guessing that the ET45 won't clear with a 1" drop using eibach springs and the factory shock?

Springs won't effect clearance at the spring seat, so to be safe you should count on needing 3-5mm spacers.

Great wheel and tire setup!

We will have our car on 17x9 +35 with 245/40/17 RS3's.

We've been selling tons of the ZII's here, dying to try them.

I agree, unless you are switching to different struts/coilovers the spring hat size won't change, and the hat and spring is what is so close.

Some coilovers have springs that have smaller diameter springs than stock which allow you to recover space from smaller springs.

On spacers - I would try the 3's first because that way you don't need to change your lug spindles.

Looks good, I'm digging the black/hot lava!

86•BRZ · 05-13-2013, 05:36 AM

mine actually scrubs the inside of the rim on the tie rod end, anyone else have this issue?

loogs · 06-05-2013, 06:47 PM

here they are

when the wheel is at full lock, the rim does hit the tie rod. just like a very intelligent member pointed out to me earlier. i decided to go with this and just live with it. one other member here has the exact same setup but hes on coil overs and i think he said he has no issues with the tie rod. that will be my next move.

BTW, im on eibach springs with a 1" drop
