hey if you got all the cash right now then go for it! lol...i dont which is why I have this thread (drinks) As for lookin good on a white one, dont know, flat silver and white might be a little dull combination...maybe since you are so close you can drive down and test fit them ;)

[CnoTataymo]

Dude, get them! I test fit my friend's RPF's with 235/45/17 RE-01's. I wish I had them on my car....

what size RPF1's were those that you test fit. They look awesome.

[PCspeed3]

they remind me of the type of wheels people put on drag evo's, not a bad thing but hey.

[mo08ms3]

They look awesome on both colors ... go for it if you can!@

[madvillian]

do it! if i hadnt just bought these wheels i would.

[CnoTataymo]

17x9 +45 offset

The fronts will probably need a 3 or 5mm spacer so it won't rub the strut.

So I should be good with a 17X8.5 +40 running a 235/45R17..right?

[shane02pro5]

Those look sweet as hell...and red powdercoated center might be my next wheel choice!

No, go with the 17x9 with +45 offset and get 5mm spacers for the front. The 17x8.5 with +40 offset don't look as good because there isn't much lip. Somebody has it on here, I believe it's the guy who made the air to watercooled set-up.
