Fair enough Corey, I can see that

[BBQXXX]

Good talk.

On that note, was anyone still wanting to get a meet together in feb?

[SiConvert887]

I'm tapped out through the month, way too much going on right now.

[Oogachacca]

Question guys.
Can my 09 FA5 run 17x9.5 18+ RPF1s?

Right away or if I keep the ride height moderate until I do fender work

[fa5flame]

You can but it will look 4x4ish. Your gonna need to roll/shave fenders and have some negative camber

Yup you'll need to pull your rear fenders about 1/2 inch and shave them while running about -5 or -6 camber in the rear and some neg camber in the front with 215/40's (anything more and it will rub for sure and it will pinch your QP). I was considering 17x9.5 +17 and opted to get 17x9 with low offsets because I couldn't manage all the body work. Also, there is a guy who shaved pulled stretched tires and camber with 17x9.5 +17 and still pinched his QP's with stiff springs too.

And yes... please don't get those and leave it up because as Randell says, it will be 4x4 status lol

Randell: How's the sell coming? Did you pick up new wheels yet? Btw, my homi was asking if you were still interested in his +22 RPF1's?

The +22 RPF1s in Arvada? I emailed him. I think I'm going to go with that set up instead of the RPF1 SBC 17x9.5 +18

People keep flaking out on me, so as of right now I still got em. Still looking for wheels, but I also do not want to pick any up while I still got those BBS unless I find a great deal. I was gonna get them wheels off your homi, but I found a brand new pair in the color I want for less than what your homi was asking and that was shipped. Tell him to hook it up

The white FG has SBC's in 17×9.5 +15 17×9.5 +0 -- "He couldn’t do a full lock u-turn because his wheels were too wide, so he had to reverse all the way around in a one-lane parking lot..." SBC's do look pretty sick though.

Yeah you should pick his set up -- I know him and he takes real good care of all his parts. Those wheels should be near immaculate condition if I'm not mistaken.

Also: If you run 205/40's with some negative camber in the rear you don't have to do fender work lol but you will need some reinforced side wall tires (Falken 512's or 912). Otherwise just a slight roll in the rear is all you need ... like Randell said lol

[trae$lyfe]

U know how bad i rub and im not as low as i want and mines 17x9 +35 offset and i have to do fender work amd smaller tires

I was about to buy a set brand new for 14XX.00
His set up is hella nice but not ideal for Colorado :\ Maybe when I go back to Cali and get a VRH Suspension kit.

I'm going for those RPF1 +22s!

You do? How many threads do you have left on your coilovers?

Do it bro lol +22 is the best offset for RPF1's IMO and easy to resell b/c they flush FG/FA's, DC5's, S2K's, and TSX's.

Edit: 1400 is okay were they with tires? You missed a set just a couple weeks ago from a sunburnt FG2 on here selling his pristine set with 205/40's for about that price.

[BBQXXX]

Such small tires...

[SiConvert887]

Yeah 205s on a 9" wheel? I'm all for a nice flusher look but damn...

In a different note, tax return time and I'm thinking of doing brakes next month. Ide like to powder coat my calipers I think. I'm thinking either black or red, any suggestions?

Right now I'm thinking red brake lines, black calipers and redstuff pads with ebc black slotted rotors.

[FattyMcJ]

Don't go red, they age poorly unless you keep them clean. Ask Corey about the red Brembo's we just saw lol

[trae$lyfe]

I would have to do fender work in the rear if I keep running the 235 but I'm going to a 215 and then I'm going to see if I still need work. As for the rear I'm down to 6 turns and the front I think 10
