Anyone running rpf1s with +35 offset with 205/45 or larger tires. Looking for a set for autocross and don't want to run smaller than a 205 tire. Read on here that some people are running +35 and its rubbing the brake calipers. HELP please!!!

 

Did you already buy a set of 35off?

 

Not yet going to pick them up when taxes get back. Right now I'm just looking at what will work with min and max offset. I really want to run the 35 offset.

 

Why 35?

I was looking at 48 but l'm really just looking to find what works better with the 215/45/16 tires I'm wanting to run for autox

 

My street wheels are 17x7 40off 205/45. I was rubbing a little over hard bumps on lowering springs. I installed camber bolts and roll center adjusters and I don't rub at all.

The set up you want to run is very similar to mine. The only diff is yours in .2" closer to the fender... Which is negligible.

I run the rpf1 16x7 43off for the track.

 

There aren't many tire choices in 215/45 esp no autoxing worthy. You're better off with a 205 semi-slick. More grip and lighter for autoxing. I have these, havent run them yet so I don't have a review.But they are cheap enough.

Right on. Where did you pick the camber bolts and roll center adjuster at I'm looking to get some because I currently have 205/50/16 on the car and I rub the shit out of my fenders.

 

Do you rub on the inside of the wheel well during hard cornering?

 

I bought camber bolts from Napa $35~40. A few companies make roll center adjusters aka extended ball joints.

No I dont. Your set up will be further away. I have set of 225/50r16 for the track, I have to remove the fender liners for trackdays.

 

I've seen the ball joints, been thinking about getting them. Yeah I've had to remove my fender liners also.

 

running 195 55 on 15x7 +35 offset, camber bolts at front, minor fender mods lowered on s tech (1.6 inch drop).. and i dont rub whatsoever.

195 55 15 tyre is taller than 205 45 16.. so i hope u should be fine using camber bolts, and rolled fenders.

 

Is anyone running the camber shims in the rear or is it not really necessary?

 

^^^ On a FWD less camber in the rear is desired, than the front. In order to need more rear camber; you would have to run ~2+ degrees in the front. 2+ degrees is a track type set up, not a DD. On a DD 1~1.5 degrees is desired in the front to maintain good tire wear.

So depending what you are running up front depends on what you run in the rear to balance the car. On a DD the rear is fine as is.

 

I have got to say thank you De36. You have truly been very helpful. Ill be picking up the front camber kit here shortly along with the extended ball joints.

 

I have 16x7 +35 of a GD3 no rubbing and brakes are cleared too no issues

 

Btw IM running 205/45/16
