Requirements when selecting road track wheels.

Rpf1 18" not sure on offsets and req'd spacers, but there are plenty of threads explaining the specifics. You won't be disappointed.

Spacers are needed for at least all the RPF1s I test fit to clear BBK. RPF1s are amazingly great wheels at an amazing price. For the track I'd rather run a square setup and there really isnt a good offset in the RPF1 to do this unfortunately.

Can you expand on that? I don't know a lot about offsets and such. I know what they are but am not sure why you can't get square with RPF1s. Thanks.

You can, rpf1 9.5 + 15. Go 285 tire, boom, square.

If you run a good amount of negative camber in the front it will look good too. Without camber it will stick out about 10mm on the top. My +25 setup with stock camber of 0.5* is about 1/4" sticking out.

I run 9.5 +45 with a 20mm spacer and 10.5 +15. Ill be using 285 square but obviously I can't rotate front and rear but popping tires off the wheel and swapping shouldn't be to much to complain about.

A 9.5 +15 rear will be in 13mm from where I have it now. Now I'm about flush so you'd be fine to run that 9.5 back there.
