Everybody in this crew that's posted so far is on the crazy width train. I think I'm gonna steal MyspaceEP3's specs and join the "Civic sized RPF-1s" crew in the future. If I can make that money.

Its not that crazy of a train. Our cars should have come with at least 8's imo. Go big or go home :mbiggrin:

[Draw7Seven]

I just can't be fucked rolling fenders or running any kind of aftermarket camber. I recognize that as lazy, but I wouldn't be buying wheels in order to make some kind of statement, prepare my car for any performance events, or experiment with aftermarket fitments. I'd be buying them because I like them. I don't really mind my 6.5 or 7 inch wheels right now.

i was running 16x7 +42 with some 205 50 16 tires and they felt like they were to small.

[Draw7Seven]

Yeah I'm set on 17s and I think the offset on tirerack was 45 but I figured 3 mm probably wouldn't have a massive effect. I'm a 16's kinda guy but I recognize that RPF-1's "run small" in the sense that they look smaller. I just don't really give a shit about width. I like nice tires, but I don't feel the need to have more contact area or anything. I'd rather they just fit nicely and not cause me a bunch of grief when dropping the car or something.

8 at least, i got 8s now and I really want to go 9s, i probably will later. The 9s just have a much more nice looking face than the other sizes under it.

You wont be disappointed man. They actually fit a lot better than people think and the grip level from some decent wide tires is amazing. Welcome to the club :hay:

agreed..i love mine. Its a little pain to get em right, but it sooo worth it. Then again i do all my own stuff. They grip like none other on the track.

Since no one else has, ill throw the first pic up :)

I dropped the front about another 1/2 inch so it looks more agressive since this pic lol

I'm going to get a set of 17 X 7's in the spring after I sell my 16's. 225/45/17 is more than enough contact area for me.

Not saying the 8 and 9in widths look anything but amazing but that's more wheel/rubber than I need.

:o sorry I don't add camber to make a wheel "fit" I get wheels that will fit with the alignment settings I want.
My current alignment is
camber F-3* r-1.5
Toe f-1* r0
caster +2.6 (not that you can do much about that)

Looks like you raised the car a tad bit also. Lookin good!!!

Lol, I'm always lowering and raising it depending what I'm doing with it. Thanks

YES! you are correct sir! thinking of switching it up when the time comes to 245/40 front and 225/45 rear but this setup has no rubbing and very lil negative camber... dont want to mess up a good thing.

[Alex857]

i was gonna say, it looks great though. 27rocks...did you ever mess around trying to go bigger thank 245? i wanna try real bad, seeing as all my buds were like, no way you are fitting 245s on that! i wanna grab a set higher lol

[1fasthb]

my post was a joke kids dont cry to much now lol

You wont rub if you go with 245's up front. Also depending on your offset in the rear you can run 235's But you could at least run a 245 in the front and keep the 225 in the back.

i was gonna say, it looks great though. 27rocks...did you ever mess around trying to go bigger thank 245? i wanna try real bad, seeing as all my buds were like, no way you are fitting 245s on that! i wanna grab a set higher lol
I have thought of this already but have not tried it yet. I'm almost convinced that a 255 is possible in the front for sure but i wouldn't go any bigger out back. The only reason im not staggering is because i use my car as a daily about 90% of the time, so i wanted to be able to swap wheels around to make my tires last. If i was a track whore like a used to be many years ago my ideal set up would be a 255 in the front and probably the same as Gaurdian in the back and run a 235.

my post was a joke kids dont cry to much now lol

mine is high in the sky and handles just the way i want it, might even raise the front

17x9 +35 guys, what camber settings does it take to fit the 9s and with what tires? i have 8s now but with my -3 front camber i have space to grow

guardian what size tires are you on? i now have 235/40, but going to 245/40 next

I try to run more camber in the front then the rear just to balance it out. I've had -2.8 to -3.2 in the front and they fit fine. The rear i had it at -2.6 and it rubbed a tiny little bit on the top of the sidewall, but it was hardly noticible (nothing to worry about). I also run 245's all the way around and my current camber setings are -3.2 F and -2.8 R.

Did you get that much front negative camber just from your coilovers adjustable upper plates or did you also have to add camber bolts to increase it?

[Guardian]

Do you feel much difference in handling with these wheels and the alignment specs that you got since the old RP-F1's that you had?the wheel size made no differance. my alignmet is better now.

235/40, i have about 1-2 track days left on these tires, R888, then im going a lot bigger

[27rocks]

I run both camber plates and one set of bolts. I still have more camber available but i dont need it.

[Guardian]

I had to use bolts to get 3* I maxed them out then adjust the camber plates to get the desired camber

Enkei RPF1 Crew holla!

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/4964758634_2137a21d9b_b.jpg

Wheel Specs:
Bright Silver, 17X7, 5X114.3, +45 MM offset

Lug Nuts:
Blox Street Series forged/extended open end (black color)

Tire Size:
215/45/17

Fenders:
Rears have been rolled by Mach III, fronts are stock and pose no threat since there is more than enough clearance.

*I decided to run a safe offset, in my opinion it looks cleaner than most of the cars i see running "HellaFlush"/poke/mexipoke/etc. Now if i have a RWD car then staggered/aggressive set-up for sure. The rear fenders have been rolled since my car is dropped enough that the tires can hit the rear fender during bumps/dips.

*Also from a visual stand point, RPF1s run on the small side due to a prominent lip. Ie. 18s look like 17s, 17s look like 16s and so fourth. I opted for the 17s since im a fan of 17s on EP3s and people always comment on how they look like 16s...which is fine cause 16s and 17s are what i like on the EP3. 15s are to dinky and 18s are to donky.

P.S. The car has hubcentric rings to minimize vibration at high speeds ie when im traveling at 150+ MPH.

would you say your car is low? i only want to run -1 to -1.5 in the rear... i have no problem riding high in order to not rub

[27rocks]

I don't know lol... to me its low enough haha. To give you a better idea of where my car sits just look at Guardians most recent pics ^^^. It's almost spot on if not the same.

[tallblondkid]

17x9 +35 guys, how close are you to the inner fender or shock shroud? i found a wheel thats +38 but not sure on fitment

[27rocks]

17x9 +35 guys, how close are you to the inner fender or shock shroud? i found a wheel thats +38 but not sure on fitment

Close but clears lol... I have never rubbed even when hitting hige dips and bumps where the tire tucks under the fender. Note that when the rear is compressed it will actually add camber. I think you should be fine with only 3mm difference. I'll give it a gander tomorrow to check.

Also how low are you planing on going?

not very low, 1/2" drop from stock... at worst i could get a 3mm spacer, but would rather not, i doubt ill have a problem, but thanks for checking

[27rocks]

Ok just checked. I think you will have penty of room. The only thing that is somewhat close is the plastic shield for the gas tank fill tube or whatever its called. But even that has what looks like more than 5mm of a gap (at least on my current set up). There is more room however from the tire to the shock area.

I wouldn't go any wider then a 245 in the rear no matter what. It's already maxxed out IMO with the size. If you were going to track the car and don't really care i would pull the fender in the rear and custom mod the inside fender to fit a bigger tire otherwise jsut run a 245. I know that that Jstoneracing guy from UK ran 9's all the way around with 255s but his fenders were pulled pretty far. Dude ran -5 in the front and around -3 in the back.

Not sure but wouldn't that be pretty much the same as a 17x9 +35 as far as fitment?

[ep3jd]

Not sure but wouldn't that be pretty much the same as a 17x9 +35 as far as fitment?

I believe so, and like 40 bucks cheaper per rpf haha. I'm meeting up with some kid to get a 5 lug swap tonight so I'm exploring my options with "real" wheels. I have a set of stock 5 lug ep3 wheels for now. Its just that you 17x9 guys are 4x4 status (no offense) and the one ep that gave me the idea for this fitment is slammed (17x8.5 +32 work xd9s). Obviously stretched tires, but minimal negative camber. Basically I just want to get low and stretch tires on light wheels, then have the option to just raise her up and throw some good "proper fitting" tires on if my car ever makes more then 140whp hahaha.

Well yeah if your going for looks only then i guess you can be as low as you want. And 5 lug is nice, it really opens the door to basically any wheel of choice.

But remember that a good set up car and a good driver can make that 140whp look like its got 300whp .:mwink:

Haha, understood! But you think with some stretch and camber I can get low on 9s? Because I'd love to one day have a track set up like Evan's. Just 9s all around

[27rocks]

Haha, understood! But you think with some stretch and camber I can get low on 9s? Because I'd love to one day have a track set up like Evan's. Just 9s all around

Yeah you can go low with camber and stretched tires for sure, but if you wan to still be somewhat low (tire almost at the same hight as the fender) with a track set up it wont work out unless you raise it a little bit in the rear. We just simply dont have the room to be low and run wide tires on our cars (thats basically why my car is at the hight it is right now). I went as low as i could and ran as little camber in the rear as possible and the car handles great.
So unless you are willing to raise it a little you will have to settle for a staggered setup.

[MBaG]

Its just that you 17x9 guys are 4x4 status (no offense) and the one ep that gave me the idea for this fitment is slammed (17x8.5 +32 work xd9s).

most likely, those "4x4's" have better suspension geometry than your slammed idol. just saying.

Probably so. Not my concern at this moment with my racelands coilovers hahaha. But thanks for that keen observation brother!

Does anyone remember what specific Honda center cap fits on rpf1s? I was thinking about getting a set to use instead of the rpf1 centers.

haha i have done some research on this but never got any (school cars). I know that CRV, ODYSSEY and ACCORD ones fit. They have to be the flat plastic ones though.

[willy_akino]

so my 16x8 are rubbing against my lower control arms in the rear(im on tokico blue with H&R springs) so im planning on going 5lug now and hopefully going 17x9 et22 now my question is will the front tire rub on my front shock? my drop is over 2"

RPF1s for the metaphorical win.

Superleggeras? OZ's look amazing, the price is what's kept me away from them so far.

NO! I have them in a +35 which is closer to the shock then a +22 would be. The lower the number the further the wheel sticks out from the center hub part of the wheel.

i'm looking at a set that's 16x7, but i'm scared 16's might be a downgrade from having 17's.

i went through all pages, and most people didn't put up their wheel specs, so does anyone have a picture of 16x7's on their car? so i could compare them to a set of 17's.

[civictype_r04]

took a couple new pics of mine.

Are these 17x9's???

[27rocks]

The front wheels are.

[Draw7Seven]

Think they'd do a set in 5x120 at 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 staggered, like +50 or so? I wanna be the first 1er with RPF-1's, even if it means I get unique wheels. I'm thinking the gold ones.

Only way to find out is to call them. I know they offer some wheels in the 5x120 but not sure on the exact sizes.


Edit:

They don't offer it in that specific size but i'm sure they can make you some.

http://www.enkei.com/size_chart/RPF1.pdf

[Draw7Seven]

You think it'd be ridiculously expensive? I can't imagine having "custom" wheels (you may have seen my EP3... lol).

[27rocks]

I don't really see it being that much more then a already made batch. If anything they can just use the same cast for a 5x114.3 and just make it a 5x120 instead. Only way to find out is to call them.

[27rocks]

Looking good rob!

Thanks man. Still the same since last time you saw it except this time i have your skirts on on my car instead of in my car :mwink:

[MugenReplica]

Quick question Rob.

17x9 25mm offset? I know it will fit, but I hate the Hellaflush look because of the excessive negative camber in the rear. How much camber would I have to run in the rear if use them? Obviously, I'd have to roll my rear fenders either way.

*What I'm saying is, I want something functional and daily drivable if needed.

[27rocks]

Im at -2.8 in the rear right now with my +35's and 245/40's and -3.3 in the front. Those are going to stick out 10mm more then mine do so even if you get stretched tires you will still need at least that much camber to be in the clear. Also your drop is a huge factor as well...
Honestly though the best set up for dd and looks and even function would be to go with a 17x8 +35. Those look so good imo with a nice 235 on there. The only draw back is the wheel design at that point which i personally don't really like.
If you can get the 9's in a +35 and run 235's or even 225's you can run a little less camber then what i run.

[MugenReplica]

Thank you Rob! That answered my questions. Back to the drawing board, lol.

215/50 would be cool. i think i'm running 215/45 on my 17x8's right now.

If you're not stretching tires then get the 17x8 because your car looks good low and you'll never get that low without a stretch in the 9s

Look at Miah's ride, he's got 17x9 +22 with 205/40

Yes sir, get a real good roll and hopefully you never had any body work in that area. My roll came out like shit. They should have been like 2mm closer but there was done sort if issue from when I got hit in my 1/4

ok i will!!

[27rocks]

You can flush up the 17x9 +35's just as good as the +22's with less camber. I don't know why anyone would want more camber when you can have the exact same look with at least -1.5 to -2 less camber.

[ep3jd]

herrafrush brah

[civictype_r04]

27 rocks what are you thinking I should do I want a flush look and to run 215/40's

He's saying to get the +35.

But with 215/40 lol

You get the exact same thing just with a little better fit. Meaning you can still have it look the same (flush hellaflush or whatever the kids call it these days) but wont have to run as much camber to squeeze on the rear. 13mm doesn't sound like much but trust me its quite a lot for the rear.

[civictype_r04]

Ok so you think I should get the +35..... Done deal!!!! I'm ordering them on Monday!

[27rocks]

I don't see why you should get the +22's.They already stick out with the +35 with no camber, so it would be a lot better on tire wear if you didn't have to run as much camber as you would with the +22's.

[civictype_r04]

Ok then dude I'm gonna get them in the +35 then!

Ya sold me on the 17x9 +35! Thanks for the help man! I can get hellafluah with 215/45 also correct?

[27rocks]

Yeah you can go a lot lower then me with 215's and still keep the camber in a reasonable area.

[civictype_r04]

How close do they sit to the strut in the rear?

[27rocks]

Not that close. I'm on 245's with -2.8 and have a decent gap. I know that Evan (SHG_EasyE) was way lower then me with 235's and over -3 and didn't have any issues.

[civictype_r04]

Nice! Thanks for all the help dude!

[Alex857]

Im at a half finger gap in front, 1.5 finger gap in rear. -2 front and closer to -4 rear lol on same setup at 27rocks tirewise, cheapo roll on the rears also. WHat tires you runnin?

Yeah but we're on 245's which need a lot more room to fit in the rear. With 215's like hes planing he will most likely be close to -3.

1.5 finger gap??? You look lower then me and i'm just barely over 1.5 fingers with -2.8 and no rub. How are you measuring?

I was going to get 17x8.5 +30 because its there same fitment and I was stretching, so I'd have put 205/40 on there and 205/40 are way cheaper then the 215/40 I was going to have to run on 9" wides.

Thanks, Yea im planning on getting rid of these rubbers its too thin for me too. I probably gonna get some 215/50's or 55's. these tires are still almost brand new. I dont know about the drop because i dont really like my car too low. I did have it at 2" all around but not my style. Im on HP tokico/tein s tech now. and i like the setup.

Depends on your definition of flush. Stretch? 205/40 or 215/40

If not I think 235/40 fits nicely. Guardian had that set up for a while

Hahahahaha

Look at it this way.. They aren't really JUST looks, they are a legit racing wheel, many people use them on their time attack cars. They are an investment, considering that you keep them in decent condition and don't run in to curbs.. They can always be re-sold for about what you paid for them (minus tires of course, but that's just general wear and tear that can't be avoided). Na mean? :)

[ep3jd]

This is true. I have to weigh out my options. I just checked a few sites and they went up again. Around 240 a wheel! :mcry:

[27rocks]

Not to mention it will be more gas friendly since they are lighter then most wheels, so its rotating mass is less. Also easier on brakes and suspension. What else??? lol

[ep3jd]

I just think they're getting played out (as much as I absolutely love this wheel) and I also don't want to get flamed for stretching tires on legit race inspired wheels.


And they're expensive. Lol

Is 240 the going rate for the 9 wides these days?

Who cares about played out??? I have only seen about maybe 3 cars with them on in person the 3+ years i've had mine, but thats not the point. The wheels are fantastic in both weight durability and price compared to forged wheels (which i guess you can say are played out as well). Buy the wheels for what they are not for who has them or who doesn't. That would be like saying the Ep is played out on this forum lol

Raise your car up a bit, not to the point where it's a monster truck but functional.

700.


Do NOT order rotas from wheeldude.com they seem to think knock off wheels are worth the same as some legit wheels.

They're charging 900 for 17x9 grids. For an extra 200 that's rpf1s. Stupid. I would never pay a grand for rotas.
