Hi Guys,

I already had ST40 355x32mm front BBK and ST22 for the rear with stock wheels. Now I am trying to get RPF1 18x9.5 (square setup, 265x35 tires for track) with 15mm offset (or should I use a different offset?), but I do not know if the RPF1 would clear my ST40 355mm. I did a search but could not find this combination.

I also have KW V2 at the highest height, and SPC front camber kit with around -2.5 degree (just got the camber kit, still trying to find the best setting). Not sure the KW and SPC here would also impact the wheel/BBK clearance. Please let me know...


Thanks
Francis

why not go with 10.5" square since you already have camber adjustments?

go with 10.5" unless class rules prohibit this size. You can still run your 265s on 10.5" wheel and it will give you more freedom if you decided to go to 275s or 285s at later point.

i dont think you will have clearance issues, but you can still run a 285 on a 9.5" wheel. I will be going 9.5 to stay under the 10" limit for spec Z

Guys, thanks for the reply. regarding the question on why not 10.5, as ericjackson mentioned, I can still go 285 with 9.5, so there is really no need to go that wide wheels.

I assume that we do not need spacers for 9.5X18 wheels with 265/35 or 275/35 tires, right?

^^^ no need for spacers, 15 offset is more than enough for your BBK.

i run 9.5 square setup for AutoX, with 265/40/18 and they look perfect on my wheels, not stretch and not fat.

Depending on the tire. 285s will be at the limit of squeezing onto 9.5" wheel. This will result in a little bit more sloppy feel, and delayed response. If you even think there is a slight possibility that you will run 285s in the future go with wider wheel. 265s are a perfect shoe in for 9.5".

I've run up to 295s on my 10.5" in the past but I am downsizing back to 275s as I saw a marginal increase in grip and the tire felt a lot better when it was narrower.

I can let you know in about a month lol... my RPF1's are in military storage lol... I have the same 18x9.5 +15's, but I didn't mount them yet... I didn't think there would be any clearance issues, I have Stoptech 355mm BBK on all 4 corners too.

I have ordered 18x9.5 +15, will be here this week, and will let you guys know the clearance for ST40 355mm
