Does anyone have the PF01's in black mounted successfully? Search around the forum and came up with nothing.

This is going to be a dumb question, but I'm wondering how the guys with 18x10.5s all around are making the front and rears look flush/even? I've got 265/35s and my front looks slammed and I can easily get 2 fingers between the tire and fender in the rear. Obviously, I could lower the rear, but it looks like my Z sits level right now... Also, for performance reasons, I thought it was better to have a slightly forward rake...

With a square set up, expect to run spacers in the rear to have it look as flush as the front.

This is on the stock wheels. I haven't purchased RPF1s yet because I don't want to go square if I can't get it to look even and perform well. I'll go 18x9.5/10.5 if that's what it takes, but I'd like to go square so I can rotate my tires correctly...

If you are going square with the same size tires all around, you will have a larger fender/wheel gap in the rear no matter what. Of course you can lower it to close the gap but I think it depends on your goals. Are you taking it to the track?

It looks like BarefootRacer may have pulled it off...

HI,

I've recently bought a set of RPF1 matt black , 18x9.5/10.5 +15 for track use on my suspension that has been lowered.

I am thinking to get 265x35 and 285x35 tires, Potenza Pole Position 04 or AD08.

I am trying to do this without rolling the fenders and no rub.

Let me know what you guys think of this setup and pref of the tires.

Thanks!

Probably work, front will be fine with around -2 camber, the rear may need a roll.
