I know this is a long shot, since TSW isn't a really popular wheel on this forum, but has anyone had experience with this kind of set up?

Dont think anyone would mate. The offset is way too high, you should look at a rim that has the correct offset (in the +10 to 25 zone) on 9.5" rim so you dont have to run a spacer. Also look at a lighter, better quality rim if you can. Value for money Enkei RPF1's or Rays 57DR's or CR-KAI's are good.

Hope this helps cheers.

No more second-hand, other-site (BS) rumors about RPF-1s in this thread, please.

As to +40 wheels w/15mm spacers vs +25 wheels ... the latter is slightly safer and weighs less. The only reason to get the former is caliper clearance.

Iowa, do you know, one way or another, if RPF1's warping at high cornering loads were debunked or confirmed? If they were debunked, then I would consider them again on my list of wheels to get.

The other site is not the only place I've heard this rumor, other car boards have it, but unsubstantiated as well.

The wheel fits, and you have some room on the inside, so you can probably go 10 mm spacers.

If you wanted to add camber, I would suggest going with camber plates, rather than bolts, if you want to use more offset.

With stock camber you're pretty flush to the fenders.

I didn't see your question until just now. No, I've not heard of RFP1 warping.

There is a problem for people using bolt on spacers with lug studs on the spacers. The valley between the lug holes on the wheels is too narrow: the lug nuts that hold the spacer to the hub will interfere with the "valleys" for lack of better term and dig into them. When I took my wheels off recently, I noticed that a good amount of metal had worn away from those valleys with these wheels.

Lesson learned. Get slide on spacers and extended studs if you want to use these wheels. Either 10mm or 15mm per side.
