Very cool. I just picked up a set and will be rocking these in a week. Makes me even more excited on how they will look on the car.

Does anyone know if 19x9 255/35/r19 will fit on the rear of my RC-F? I have a set of GS-F wheels on my GS350 F sport that I want to put on my RC-F but all four wheels are 19x9. I don't want to scratch my new orange calipers (they're OEM, I specifically asked for 19x9 instead of staggered). Thanks!!!

Not sure about the fit but why would you want to reduce the wheel width from 10 to 9? You are reducing the contact patch area and decreasing performance. IMO, I would not go smaller than stock 19x10. Any specific reason for this or only just trying to reuse wheels from your other car? Basically, you just have two sets of front GSF wheels. I would shell out some money and just get another set of rears w/ wider tires if the goal is just to have the GSF wheels.

I also have the same question as Ne1tHeRe.

I was considering this and the answer is Square set up. I did this on my previous RWD car. With good tires you still have traction out back but the balance improved and the amount of understeer was reduced. The car felt more balanced and playful (a common complaint about the RC-F not having) and so I left it that way. The square set up was my winter wheels and never meant to go hard. It felt so good that I kept it on all year. I was expecting the RC-F to do the same. With a 9 vs the 10 out back maybe you could get a little more slide/rotation when cornering now that there is less of an imbalance of front to rear grip.

A Camry would suit you just fine

I think you're right. I should check if Toyota will let me trade my car for a couple of those sweet Camrys. Hope they have one with a staggered set up tho, don't wanna **** off old grumpy Lou lol

^^^^Old - Yep, I'll admit to that
Grumpy - I don't think so. I haven't been grumpy with you, just dismayed at what you are suggesting
And hey, it's your car, if you want to diminish the handling and appearance of your RCF, that's your business. Just don't be surprised if some of us take exception. I answered your questions, now please go off and do as you please. I really don't give a darn!

If any of you guys want the specs for a properly fitting wheel/tire package for the RCF, let me know. A properly fitting wheel/tire package shouldn't rub at all lowered or not. The package should also allow you to run as wide or wider tires as well. A lot of the specs I'm seeing here are done up by "instagram" wheel companies who aren't custom; rather, one-size-fits-all approach with non-motorsport backgrounds. It's a cheaper route, but you get what you pay for. It also looks like the RCF audience isn't as well versed as the more seasoned M and 911 community. I'm a big Lexus F line-up fan as a former ISF and current RCF owner. Here to help.
What do you think about a 19x11 ET52 square set up? would that fit under the front?...

Alright guys today I test fitted my HRE FF01 off my mustang onto the rcf. Sizes are 20x10.5 all around on 295/30r20
I will be test fitting some 20x10 +40 up front soon and some 20x11 +55 for the rear, I firmly believe that a lot of the mustang offsets will end up working on this car.
