All of these are 255/40/17 tires.... RS3/NT01/R1S... the BFG R1S are on 17x9 +35 RPF1 rims.

5zigen is still selling FN01R-C under new name Hot Version?

http://www.5zigen.co.jp/english/prod...l/fn01r-c.html

I like my 17x9 FN01R-C's and I am willing to get the new Hot Version if I need one more set.

So those RPF1s in a 17x9 +35 aren't the stupid looking kind? They look like they have the flat face on them which is what I want! With those 255/40/17s did you have to roll the fenders?

I cut my fenders because the bfg R1 tires are much wider than a normal 255 and racing results in much more suspension travel.
