need more people tossing wheels on. I know its over a year away but Im eager to find out if I can get my current wheels on my G on the RCF. Waited 20 weeks for them and they are my babies...I couldnt bare to part with them
From these pics I feel like the rears 10.5 +15 275/30 could actually work if I put it around -2.5 to -3 camber, which isnt terrible. The fronts at 9.5 +13 are a bit concerning though.
I know a member already mentioned those specs are most likely to aggressive. Not by much more then 10mm though errrr

Heres my setup up
Custom SSR TF1 SBC (more like Black Chrome) W/ black rivets
Fronts are rolled.
Lowered on RSR coilovers
20x9.5 +25 255/30/20 Falken 453
20x10.5 +30 275/30/20 Falken 453
Could of gone with a wider tire front and back but wasn't sure about the clearances. maybe a 265 and 285 setup next time
Probably gonna add a 5mm from and back.
Thanks for looking

I had this same exact setup when i had my Stance wheels. Depending on how low you go (i was pretty low) you will get rubbing on the plastic fender lining on sharp turns and bumps and also if you have passengers or heavy things in the back in the rear. I personally did some trimming and now its much better but still there, not a deal breaker and the car looks so good with a flush setup. I opted for +25 in the front on my current bronze setup, and it lessoned the rubbing a bit without giving up too much of the look
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for replying with this info in time! I'll most definitely adjust to the +25 all around. We live in Hawaii where the roads are practically 3rd world quality and I'm going to need the clearance for the potholes for sure. I guess from there I can adjust ride height if it's a continued problem..
How much neg camber are you running in the rear? I'm trying to minimize it as much as possible as personally the look of it drives me crazy in not a good way. Wondering how to tweak the setup to avoid it..

I've still yet to see even a single set of properly fitting wheels here. I'm just trying to be honest and helpful. No ill will.
For example, HRE recommends 255/30/20 and 295/30/20 on 9 and 10.5" wide wheels for the common plus 1 from OEM sized RCF wheel buyer. The more rubber you can lay down, within reason, is always a good thing per motorsport. HRE measurements are usually spot on.
Next, a properly fitting wheel and tire package should not rub lowered let alone at stock height. It should not require you to go skinny on the tires or stretched in any way, shape or form. So the only way to meet these parameters is to go custom. I've yet to see a quality wheel vendor make a set bespoke to the RCF which makes complete sense. Volk. No. BBS. No (non-factory). OZ. No. Work. No. Never. Why? Because there isn't enough volume and likely never will be like the congested BMW M3 scene.
If you really want to do it right going the lowered route, you have to look into FIGS suspension parts as the RCF offers zero adjustability unlike the M3.
So here's a sample, do-it-right checklist the ROK way:
-Custom spec 20" 6061-T6 forged wheels (e.g. HRE, Forgeline, or if cast, Work)
-FIGS lowering suspension components
-Quality rubber (as wide or wider than stock)
-Quality adjustable coilovers (e.g. KWv3s just released)
I conjecture, strongly, that anything less is worse than stock (i.e. ghetto fab).
I hope this helps gets the brain juices flowing toward the right direction.
