sounds like a solid plan for 2014. best of luck. i am about to yank my engine out and freshen it up and also will be semi hard filling it. i have never done it before but i have a friend guiding me threw it so it should be pretty easy. i hope.

thanks Dan. best of luck to you as well.

The car is going to be sitting on 17x9 RPF1's once I get my tax return. The car has always been on stock wheels on the street so this will be a nice change.

Nice looking forward to those updates

RPF1 look really great on evos when they have the "correct offset" Should look sweet

Perfect offset for the evo. 20mm spacer needed up front, but it still fits great! Thats what size my rpf1s were when I had the black ones. 255/40 tire fits great as well with no rubbing in the rear.

I am running 17x9 +22 rpf1 now, mainly cause I got a deal on some SBC ones. They dont fit too bad, a little more aggressive than the +35, but doable.

I agree, they look great on the Evo. I have drag brakes up front so I won't need a spacer up front however I am going to run my 10mm spacers I use with the drag wheels up front just because

I am probably going to go with silver since in silver they have a nice offset of +35mm. The only ones I see in 17x9 in black are +45.

Your RPF1's have arrived!

Hands down our Favorite local Evo! I am very glad that we get to have a small part in the awesome build!
