it's not about hte lip, it's about the spoke design, some curve out more than others allowing plenty of clearance, some don't.

rpf1s do have a lip. you need to get the correct offset with those wheels or it will ruin the look...just like with most wheels

saying that, i dont know of the correct offset. probably somewhere around +35 front, +42 rear for those wheels

I want an aggressive wheel setup tho. A +42 offset is child's play. Ive seen a few z32's with a +7 offset in the rear with some different wheels. You guys are telling me to find out but thats kinda why i posted on here. If you guys were maybe familiar with the wheel.

you never said you wanted "an aggressive setup," so i posted what offsets other z32 people used.

try twinturbo.net or 3zc.com. theres plenty of people on those two sites with those wheels
