Dam I wish I could afford more wheels right now , sucks I will have to run 10.5 RPF1 out back with my 10.5 NT03 up front for the track for a couple months.


I have to sell off my 9.5 rpf1s and my 9.5 nt03s, eventually I will have two full sets of 10.5s front and rear.

285-35-18 front and rear, hear I come.

The GF210 ride very similar to stock, bumps are only slightly stiffer. I personally like "feeling" the road a littler better. This may also be due to the change to smaller profile tires as well.

I am on the stock shocks for now as well. I may also upgrade in the future as well, but for now these springs really do increase the handling, I really like them

You'll love them. I mean they are no coilovers, but they reduce body roll a ton. Really noticeable

I had a really hard time finding tires for my setup (9.5 10.5 +15) that would clear my front fenders without having to increase camber. Different tires nomatter if they are 245s will have different tread widths. The dunlop sport maxx 255 that came with the wheels are narrower than most 245s i was shopping for. Ended up ordering crappy v12s cause their specs seemed to be favourable to my setup.

cant imagine 285s up front.

Agreed! love the fatty rears. The RPF1's should hold up better than any stock rim thats for sure. According to their website they have made a similar spec like volk which far surpasses the JWL standards that nearly every wheel are subjected to.

Very nice. Looks clean but still allows for proper rotation with the same size tire How much do those weigh? And what are your suspension mods?
