Just got mine installed:

18x9.5 +15
Silver
Hankook Z214 C91 275/35
AMR Engineering Coilovers
Didn't need to roll the fenders (yet)
-2 camber all around
0 toe in front, .06 (each) in the rear

I do have one question....I have rubbing issues on the plastic inner fender liner when turning the front wheels in or out. Has anyone else had this and what did you do to correct it? I'm thinking of somehow trying to bend them or just get some new material and making my own. It sucks to run with them not on becuase the tires kick rocks up into the engine bay and against the back of the headlights and foglights, as well as (what I am guessing) is either the oil cooler or AC radiator on the passenger side.

What are your alignment specs? And where exactly are you rubbing? the inner tire only towards the transmission or the front of the inner liner, like where the air vents into the front bumper area? Both inner and outer edges hit that area at full lock?

Just updated with my alignment...-2 camber all around. The rubbing is on the outside of the tire, right in the middle height. you can somewhat see where it rubbed during a brief test run but not enough for a picture to really show. But yeah, right about that height where those weird vents/bumps are and then carry that line through to the rear of the front fender liner. Here's a picture to help (hopefully)...I took off the mud flap but was still having the issue.

Why do so many people get RPF1s +15 and not +22? Or does RFP1s look better with +15?

I think it has to do with your tire size. When I was running 275 tires I constantly rubbed on the inner fender liner. When I downsized to 265 tire, the rubbing is pretty much nonexistent.

There is a fix for it on a certain Evo X forum. I don't know if it's ok to link, but a quick google search for "inner fender rub fix" should bring it up.

Only options are +15 or +38. You could run a spacer and +38 but the RPF1 doesn't come in +22

19's are the only ones that come +22. 18s are either +15 or +38.

I'd rather get a +15 rather than wait longer for +22 then.
