Hi guys,
I'm looking to purchase some 17" RPF1's for my 95 GSX and wanted to get some advice on fitment. I'd like to run wider tires and I much prefer the flat wheel face on the 9"+ wheels vs the curved 8.5" and thinner RPF1's. From what I've been reading there's a number of challenges with getting the 9" wheels to fit.
Front Brakes:
I'm pretty content with the stock GSX brakes and I'm 90% sure I won't be doing a BBK in the future. I understand the 9"+ RPF1's have clearance issues with BBK's because of the different spoke design?
Spindles:
AFAIK the suspension components on the car are all stock. From what I've read, the 2ga has slightly less clearance on the spindles which limits how big an offset and how wide a tire you can run? Is +45 offset doable or no?
Fenders:
I'm currently at stock height and plan on only a small drop at most (probably an eibach prokit). Do you absolutely need to roll the fender to run a 9" wheel or is it more dependent on the offset/tire/drop? I would prefer to not to roll the fenders if possible. I also don't want the wheels noticeably sticking out past the fenders.
Thanks!
