I´ve been doing the modifications to mine step by step with as equal conditions ´testing´ before/after. Between brackets because performance apps are not all that accurate nor is the bum and the feel is totally subjective. Ultimately though that feel is the supreme judge; YOÚR feeling rules.I was thoroughly impressed with my Spyder (above) with stock suspension. The ADVAN A052 are pretty sticky, but I think the light weight of the RFP1s makes a big difference too.
Yes the hub hole on RPF1 is 73mmI see several folks here have the RPF1 wheels. Do they require centering rings for the Spyder?
Yup, had that too.Even standard wheels can rub liners on high speed bumpy roads (full bump), especially carrying a passenger
Quite17" bare wheels are nearly DOUBLE the weight. You will always be able to buy sticky Jap rubber in 15" size because of track/race demand for it
What lugnuts are those? Looks niceYes the hub hole on RPF1 is 73mm
The hub on MR-S is 54mm
Try KyoEI U7354 centering rings
You cant fit hub caps

OEM 15x6 185/55 Toyo T1R 14.4kg (31.7lb)
OEM 15x6.5 205/50 Toyo T1R 15.8 kg (34.8lb)
Enkei RPF1 15x7 with 195/50 Toyo R1R 13.1kg (28.9lb)
(15x7 listed as 〜4.6kg bare wheel 10.1lb)
So 7" is ~2.7kg lighter than OEM 6.5"

Benefit of 7" all atound is being able to swap backs for fronts to even out tyre wear

I have RPF1s 15x7 41 offset.
Front 195/55 (will go 185 or 195/50 next time)
-2 camber.
Sportivo kit sits about 1" lower at the front.
Júst rubs when combo cornering HÁRD and undulation,
The liner has a small ´protrusion´ at 11 o´clock when looking at the wheel from the lhs, at 1 o´clock whe looking at it from
the rhs
This is the best photo I have.illustrating the fit (that has no nude girl in it); they are júst inside the car´s outer dimensions.
Whats the rear camber set at?I'm on Tein springs with Koni's and I found that RPF1's with 15x7 et35 up front with a 205/50 and 15x8et28 with a 225/45 is optimum. (you could also use the 15x7 et41's)
I am also using 2 dot crash bolts in the front and have -2.1deg of camber dialed in.
Handling was amazing on the dragon.
Poppycock and balderdash.17" bare wheels are nearly DOUBLE the weight.
Depends on the WheelPoppycock and balderdash.
At the time -1.7deg is all I could manage in the rear. It was stock, No crash bolts or cam bolts.Whats the rear camber set at?
17x7 RPF1 43 ET weighs 15.15 lbs, 5.5 pounds more. IMHO this is the best value weight wise wheel for the spyder. Unfortunately they don't meet my tasteUh huh... Those are three different wheels.
How much does a 17 inch RPF1 weigh? About 15 lbs IIRC.
Not double is my point.
Enkei M52 17x7 weighs 21 lb, more than double the weight of a Enkei 15" RPF1 and almost 6 lbs more than an OEM 15x6.5 rearUh huh... Those are three different wheels.

Sure does, but I didn't know we were talking about my wheels - which certainly are not double the weight over the stock 16 inch wheel my car came with.Enkei M52 17x7 weighs 21 lb, more than double the weight of a Enkei 15" RPF1 and almost 6 lbs more than an OEM 15x6.5 rear
That's because they're so heavy !!! Couldn't resist ..... don't worry I'm in the very heavy wheel club , mine are at least double .To date, I've not seen another set of M52's mounted on a car.
