17x9 +35 RPF1s on my IX

Installed my rpf1s today along with 255/40 Nitto NT555 tires. Man these run wide i think. They are MEATY. Had to run 20mm spacers obviously because the front calipers. 20mm is a little too much for the rears... (rubbing horribly) So ordered 10mm spacers and going to install ARP wheel studs all around.

Snapped some pics with the Nikon today and figured I'd share!

Looks excellent. Always been a fan of the RPF1.

Suggestion: Pull that 10mm spacer from the rear. I know you like the look, but getting a +25 to fit right will require some rear fender pulling

Personally I chose the 17x9 because its the smallest width that has the concave face. The smaller widths have the convex face that I dont think looks near as good.

Right now its a 20mm spacer and it barely rubs (my rears are rolled and maybe a very very very tad of a pull)

So a 10mm should be perfect.
