Agreed. Just an FYI as I haven't ever formally introduced myself; I teach motor sports for a living. I am fortunate to be on track several days a week. I share my professional experience as a way to give back to the community.

Peace

For example, heres the most camber ive ever run

Attachment 37175

Was about -.6 i think, -2" springs, 19x8 +38 with 235 tires

Some cars come with more than 1 degree of negative camber off the showroom floor. Just depends on the car and your application.

Right, in which case it is done for beneficial reasons, not solely fitment or "stance". I was thinking -1 on the twins for my preference.

Oh another question.. What lugs do I need to run 17x9 Enkei RPF1s? Are the stock lugs conical/long enough?

Stock lugnuts won't work, you'll need aftermarket ones.

The wheel has nothing to do with the thread/pitch. You need 12x1.25 which is standard Subaru lugs.

I haven't used those wheels, but usually the spline drive lug nuts will have better clearance. Like McGuards, Gorillas, etc. For instance, I have some Drag wheels that are dual drilled. One bolt pattern would take my Project Kics lug nuts, the other set of holes were too small and I couldn't even fit the socket on. My spline lugs from Discount tire fit just fine, though (Gorillas).

Stock lugs are conical, as are every wheel I've ever used, but I haven't had RPF1s...

Exactly what 2point0 said, easiest way is to run spline drives, they will always fit the best. I had a set of McGard spline drives on my RPF1's (RX8), but running Gorilla splines on my wheels right now. Can't beat those for the price.

Ya know, I think I got mine thrown in with a set of tires at some point. They're like, "you said you wanted a locking lug nut?" and I'm all, "yeah but not just one on each wheel. I want 'em all!"
