How do you like the gunmetal rpf1's? First pics ive seen with gunmetal, I was thinking about getting them in the same color and offset but 9.5s. See if u can take a few more pics of the gm on gg, i was worried about it blending in too well. You like the color over black you had?

I like them, they are a little lighter in color than i was expecting, but they do look really good with the GG color. The pictures I posted with my crapy camera don't really do them justice, they look much better in person. Black gives you more of a contrast, but this lighter gunmetal is growing on me and I've got a lot of compliments.

Looks good, what all was needed to make your 10.5's fit? How bad was the rubbing on the rotas. Do you think if you had 265s over 275s, would be able to drop it more with no fender mods? I was gonna try to do the 9.5's with the 15 offset and either reuse my 245s or get 265s on tanabe df's or h&r sports. Thanks for the insight bud!

My friend has my old 10.5's with 275's on his Evo X and has minimal rubbing at full lock of the steering wheel.

Yes on Stock body I agree 100% to that Evo 8 and 9's look best with a good 15-22 offset and 9.5 wide wheels. Bigger than that with them unless they are wide body looks a little too much. Evo 10's tho pull off 10 or 10.5 wide wheel great They need to be 12-22 offset tho for the Evo 10's to have that nice aggressive look

Function over form. No need to slam it and ruin the handling of this car just for the looks. Maybe if I get a coilover setup later down the road I'll drop it a tad more.
My car will getting aligned this spring with -3* up front and -2* in the rear. Right now it's all out of whack since I just fliped the camber bolts.

. Just look Ryan Gates, he's running a 18x10.5 wheel with a low offset. But yeah, he does have an insane suspension setup as well.

I shaved 2 seconds off my lap time at our local track with a 18x10 +20 wheel last summer, after swapping from the stock wheels and tires. I don't think it had to do with the different tires since the Advans are probably a better track tire than the Nitto Invo's .

with a 10 or 10.5" wheel with an aggressive offset you'll need to roll the rear fenders, even with a smaller 265 tire. The only rubbing I have is on the front fender liner, It's not a big deal though, I plan on using a heat gun and a hammer to push the liner back a bit. Right now I have -1.4* of camber in the rear with a full roll on the fenders and it just barely clears.
