Jason... for the track I use 17x9 ET35 Enkei RPO2J with 275/40-17 Yokohama AO32R all around. I have the car lowered with Eibach springs and I never have issues with tire rubbing. If you are gonna run a wide tire, might as well go all out! Besides, the extra tread width in the front helps reduce understeer.

Cheers,

PeteH

I'm 99.9% sure that they won't, but my real question is: will any 13" BBK fit behind those? Also, what kind of brakes are you runnin', Jason.

Peace

NUFF - I didnt forget about you... they will be in some time this week enkei is telling me

I believe they will clear brembo's... the rear no question about it... but the front... you MAY need a 5-15mm spacer... the offset on the front is 30mm which is not to hot... A 17x8.5 +18mm offset would have looked MUCH better...

These will fit over stop tech 13's with the offset on my car...

I am currently running stock brakes with upgraded stop tech aero rotors and nismo brake pads... I am planning on going to the 13" stop tech front and 12.8" rear kit as soon as I can afford it

they are 35mm offset, plenty of Brembo clearance due to the prodigious backspacing behind the spokes, just enough tire clearance near the control arm on the inboard side and nowhere near the fender on the outboard side...

Jason, I'm running 275/285, 40/17's on RPF-1's. Fronts are 17X9"/35mm rears are 17X91/2"/38mm. No rub ever, no clearance problems. I am running RS*R springs with Koni's.
The inside on the front only have about a pencil witdh of clearance from the sidewall of the tire to the upright. Rears have tons of room.
