I like this in +35.

Got the tires mounted today and put them on the car to see what it looks like at the stock ride height. Excuse the picture quality, they were taken with my phone.

I wish I could get et35 for the rear and 45 for the front.

wparsons · 02-22-2013, 05:11 PM

+45 with a 5mm spacer out back looks perfect to me.

wgnzlz · 02-22-2013, 05:53 PM

To me, the poke looks worse in pictures than it really is. I think after its lowered and a little negative camber is dialed in up front, it will look perfect.

alex88 · 02-22-2013, 06:11 PM

Looks great man! Where did you get your PRF1's?

I am considering going with 17x8+35 Enkei RPF1, 245/40 tire. Is there a reason why you didn't consider the 8in wide wheel?

wgnzlz · 02-22-2013, 06:15 PM

Thanks. I got them from Dezod Motorsports, but I think Ft86eedfactory might still have a set left and they are on the forum. I went with 9" over 8" to get the flat face.

Are the 8 in wheels really bent? I was hoping they would be closer to 9in than 7in especially with the +35 offset

wgnzlz · 02-22-2013, 06:24 PM

From what I've seen, the offset doesn't change the wheel design. The rpf1 doesn't get the flat spoke look until you go 9" width.

You can run up to 9" for STX so why not? I'm running 245/40 on 17x9 and like it more than 245 on 8" that I had on my last car.

For sure. A little negative camber will do wonders.

Captain Insano · 02-23-2013, 10:39 PM

Looks awesome. I just pulled the trigger on tc105n in 17x9 +35 so VERY helpful to see how ur setup fits. I am dropped 1" on eibach pro springs with -1 front & -1.8 rear camber. Plan to get same tire size as you!

Feldy I PMed you about that smaller size to not threadjack...
