The wheel gap isn't too bad on the rear but it is a little much on the front. Most likely switching to 265/30/20 tire for the front which will help a lot.
Got the springs already, though...not sure when I will install them. Just swapped the RCF for my GS350 which just got finished with PPF and OptiCoat. RCF is back in shop getting more xpel on all of the rear bumper and front lights...gonna get new wheels opticoated, too...and might get the windows tinted...we'll see
Also, forgot I got the road hazard for wheels and tires through dealership so they are taking care of the rear flat tire for me at no charge
Intake is on the way and still have controller to install...and paint my calipers red...lots to do

Actually, I was looking at the tiresize calc site...looking at 255/35/20 (instead of 265/30/20) to better match my 295/30/20. That will give me a little softer ride with the taller sidewall, too. There are always trade offs but this will destroy the extra wheel well gap.

Went ahead and ordered my 255/35/20 tires for the front.
Can't wait to get my car back from my detailer/PPF installer. Once I get the car back I can start doing the following:

The F50s only come in one size for the RC F. You can find full wheel specs in my second post.

My 255/30/20 tires looks terrible on the front wheels at stock height. I tried mounting 255/35/20s yesterday and it looked perfect on the car with the 295/30/20s on the rear but, alas, it rubbed when turning so back on went the 255/30/20s. It then dawned on me to do 305/25/20s which matches the front circumference...returning the 255/35/20s for the 305/25/20s and then installing the swifts should get a perfect stance. I will post pics when done...round and round we go...haha
Might even go with a 10mm spacer on front to better match stock offset and have it stick out a tad more to look better...will look into that.

Be careful with that setup.
