rpf1's and 2005 msm mica red
i have a 2005 msm mica red with megan coilovers.
i have xxr 513 right now i like the look of the rim but not the size of the 15's i was thinking 17x 7 gold rpf1's and should i run 205/40/17 with it does anyone have a pic of something close to what i want to do? |
17's are the devil. Here's a pic of 15" fpf1's on my NB

that looks great/\
I think you can pull off 16's on an nb as well. 17's? too big |
Look up leatheface24 he has an MSM on 17s
|
the car comes stock with 17's and i like the ride and i think my 17's tucked look good but i just dont like the racing heart rims

Get back over to m.net...now. There is a guy on CR/M-S with 17" RPF1s..on a Titanium...and the wheels aren't gold...but you can get an idea of the style. I think what you have in mind will be fine...just dont get 205/40 or 205/45 tires....215/40 or 225/35 tires will be better. |
15s ftw
|
Tell me this isn't perfect - go on, say it.

That isn't perfect...
Exhaust looks restrictive Rear view mirror cover looks like goose turd. Those wheels though...they're....perfect! |
agree with fooger03

You're not running the Sport Brakes are you? AFAIK, they won't fit under 15" RPF-1's. I have those wheels on my SE-R and will be running the Sport Brakes on my Miata.

C It looks like the diameter of the '99 front brakes are 10" and the sport brakes are 10.6" (.3" larger radius). I took a pic, easily over 1/2 an inch to spare on the front wheel. I guess it depends on the caliper but it certainly seems possible that they would fit. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...a/100_1278.jpg |
One of these days when I get off my ass and install my sport brakes, I'll see if my RPF-1's fit, though I've seen multiple posts saying they don't.

Looks like it might be a width issue with the calipers rather than a diameter issue. Just a guess based on the picture.

No, I've just got the stock '99 brakes. The wheels don't seem close to the brakes at all though.

Also, I know ILoveOffRamps has a set of 15" RPF1s that he uses for DD duty on his '04 MSM.
|
Hah! He's running a spacer.

I've driven that car several times, and I've helped him change the tires more than a time or two.
I knew he had the spacers, but thought he ran them to get the wheel to sit more flush with the fenders. I know when we tried my RPF1s from my CRX they hit the caliper both on the front and rear, but my RPF1s were also +41mm. I thought his were +35mm's and didn't need the spacers to clear. I guess I could call him. :) |
