Did you swap a 370 roof

Really like the color combo. Nice work!

Found a set of RPF1's for sale, needs new tires.

18x9 +35 all around. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/pts/4347177818.html

I'll probably get 245/40/18 in the front, and 255/40/18 in the rear. Sticking with stock suspension, don't need too aggressive of a stance (daily driver). Also notice many members need to run different series tires on the rear/front, why?

Any issues with vdc? rubbing? handling? need spacers? clear brakes?

Doesn't look bad.. Slightly stretched.. Did you have to roll the rear fenders? Do have a picture when you were lowered

Thx. As far as tire size I can't fit anything wider. I'm already rubbing on the rear and it's at like -5 camber. I was into the whole stance **** with stupid camber but thts done. Now I want to start drifting so I'm doing things the right way the first time I guess. The dual caliper set up is a bracket from patinka I got second hand here on the forum. Need to get the pbm hydro brake lever welded up and run the lines.
I'm getting the car aligned Friday so then I will c wht kind of trouble I got myself into :/

I honestly give up

That is also not even close to being aggressive

Downsize to 35 series and you can easily go 305's

IMO, 245/40 front and rear is the perfect tire for an NA drift Z.

I got nitto nt05 245/40 front and nt555 275/40 rear. The plan is to grab another set (or at least a pair) of 9.5 rpf1 and use those as rear drift wheels. The 10.5 I have now is for dd and occasional sideways action I guess.

the whole problem here is cuz I fcked up and posted this on the fat tire thread and pissed off some ppl in the process. sry...

I would probably just get XXR 9.75w wide wheels just to beat up drifting, depending how serious you are.

I'm getting my rpf1s installed Tommorow.. Will the stock tpms work with these? Can these attach to the enkei valve stems they sent with the wheels? Thanks

OEM TPMS will fit and they act as your valve stem as well so you don't use the blue ones at all. You should be able to use the blue valve stem caps on the OEM TPMS if you want to add some color though.

If you bought black or SBC RPF1s, I suggest painting the TPMS from the stock wheel as it will stand out.
