Fitment question!!

ok si i was test fitting some 17x9 +45 rpf1s, and the rear fit fine with a 10mm spacer. But in the front i put a 10mm spacer and spoke hit caliper. i put another 10mm spacer on and spoke STILL hit the caliper. So with basically a 20mm spacer it didnt work.


my question is, would a set of EXT studs make a difference in the spoke not hitting the caliper with a 10mm spacer on?

studs don't change anything in regards to spacing.

You should be looking at 17x9 +20 or +30 (if they are available in those offsets). the spoke design of +45 is TERRIBLE for evos

17x9's et 22 need a 10 mm spacer and longer studs. 17x9.5 et 18 clears caliper. Most buy the 9.5's and tweak fender lip/alignment.
