Guys, I just purchased RPF1's in SBC 18x9.5 +15 up front and 18x10.5 +15 out back. 255/40 and 275/40 Hankooks. I see a bunch of you guys running the Akebono BBK's with similar setup. I have heard someone say that with this combo, it scrapes the inner wheel barrel do to the size of the caliper. Anyone running the Akebono BBK, please comment on this. I am on the fence about to order the 14" Akebono up front and having a tough time deciding whether or not to, or go with a 13" or 14" wilwood superlight BBK up front. Any input would be appreciated.

I spoke with BigBlue about this awhile back (he has Akebono's and the 18x9.5 +15) and he said that it is close but that he has no clearance problems. Message him if you have more questions.

Is it me or the offset on these wheels are mind boggling...

RPF1s +15 poke out way more than my S1 at +5, or maybe it's the camber on my car???

Looking good everyone!

You will need a 5mm front spacer and none for the rear, but I recommend a 10mm front and 15 to 20mm rear.

35 , but I ran my NT03's with a 275/40 on the street for a long time, and ran a 20mm spacer.

I currently still run a 20mm spacer with them on 285's in the rear. 10mm up front with 285/35, but I am running a race alignment,

Gotcha! I'm having a hard time deciding on tires. The only reason I chose to run 275/35/18 and 275/40/18 is because they match the same height as stock. I haven't bought tires yet, so I can still look around. I have 10mm project kics spacers in the front and I picked up 15mm b2autodesign spacers in the rear. just waiting on my Blue Rays valve stems to arrive and decide on tires.

Does anyone have the actual physical "dimensions" from lip to lip on the RPF1's, not bead to bead. Is it 1" on diameter and width? or are they different?

Made a template to decide on offset, just double checking my measurements.

Looking at the 18x9.5 +15 and the 18x10.5 +15.
