Fairly certain this is the most wheel gap this car has had since stock lol even on my saggy Prokits, I wasn't noticeably higher than this I don't think. Maybe like quarter inch max.

But seeing it I like the new look. They work well with the car. Nowhere near as aggressive as last year but would you really wanna rock last years setup on some of the worst roads in North America. Nope. Not a chance lol.

Pfft really. Pretty sure his hatch will still be like 3-4" taller. 4x4.

Yea I'm pretty sure I'm like the only one with candy teal wheels in the State haha. But no, for sure this thing sticks out like crazy. I'm getting all sorts of weird looks. It's funny actually...the drive back on the highway while still in Ontario, I was getting different kind of looks (like, people checking them out). And I get here and the kind of looks I see are noticeably different :P

With his luck teal will turn to purple.

Purple is a royal colour.

Haha alright. But I'm hoping to hold onto these forced and ever and ever. Tired of changing shit on this car. Once I get this setup sorted out, it's sticking. My old wheels are up for grabs though ;) someone buy them!

I do really love how the teal came out on these. Better than my XXR's. They were able to make it brighter and pop a bit more. Another great job by Ronan at Stripping Technologies.

Technically your last scheme was Orange and (don't kill me) blue (I get teal but for argument sake) and those are complimentary colours. And yellow and purple are complimentary colours. So technically it should look good

mmm

The only way I'd get it to look that good is with the #NewCarMod

I''ll be the first to say, I'm not a fan of the Teal RPF1s. Maybe cause I'm boring and only like RPF1s in F1 Silver.

The old XXR's looked better, but I do like your new aggressive tire setup.

Definitely the first to say :P haha but yea like I said, I was kinda hesitant about it too. But I'm definitely digging the wheels now. Maybe you gotta see them in person. Really pops nicely. There's too many silver/gold/black RPF1's out there these days lol

I'm glad you like my new tire setup, cause my car certainly doesn't haha rears are rubbing too much. Makes me sad watching small pieces shred off my brand new V12's :(

The "Problem" with the RPF-1s are they are less than 9"

They look so different less than 9.

At least imo.

Definitely, flat face FTW. I didn't want to say it lol, but I think 17x9 +45 with 235/40/17 would be a totally different look.

still wouldn't fit if he is having issues with the current set up since width is in inches and offset is in mm

He would rub more with the 17x9

I feel like if Phil doesn't rub he shouldn't be? I'm a little mystified.

Yup, totally agree. I initially wanted 9 wide just for this reason. I really dislike how different the faces look with anything less. But I didn't want hassles with fitment. Granted it would be less aggressive than my XXR's, but with the roads in Michigan, you really gotta tone it down to something that can get you around and take a beating.

Yea that would've been ideal in terms of looks

Precisely. And my poke in the front with these is already a bit more than I'd like. With my stretched tires last setup, I liked the poke. But with beefy tires, this much poke looks a bit weird to me.

Mystified is the middle name of my car. These BC's I have are just weird. I remember towards the early part of my setup last year too, I was rubbing when I really shouldn't have been, with people on almost the exact same setups not rubbing at all.

But anyway, seems like the rubbing has decreased a lot the past couple days. I'm guessing its due to the fact that I'm starting to "rub off" the parts that were rubbing. Which sucks cause they're decent tires, but whatever. Now only rubs mostly on turns and on bumps. For the turning, hoping to lessen that with a RSB. For the bumps, we'll see...got a couple things I'll be trying soon.

Of course I have a good chance of getting rid of rubbing completely by just cambering more. But it defeats the purpose of me trying to do a more drivable setup, so I'm using that as a last option. I'm already as cambered as I'd wanna be with this kind of wheel setup.

are the speed3 fenders different than the regular 3 or is the body exactly the same except for the hood?

@Dave_The_BMXER

Phil also has his car raised as high as possible, I though you were all about the lowz

Fenders are the different as well. My fronts are pulled as well, but still.

And yea I think I'm still a bit lower than him too. Unfortunately, the way I currently have my coils installed, I'm maxed out in terms of height in the rear. And I've already gotten my alignment, so I'd rather not have to mess around with the suspension again and then pay for an alignment again. Specially since all my components are always seized up and the alignment shop (and thus my wallet) goes through hell in the process.
