Thank you! Time to look for new wheels then hehe.

Do you think offset +30 for both front and rear would look good with swift springs?

i would look good if the widths are 9.5 and 10.5 front and rear with those offsets. also make sure you get the right size tires that will fit correctly

O icic. I think I would stick to 9.5 if I can.

For 9.5 +25 offset, I am guessing I have to stick with 245/30/20 tire size.

For rear, 10.5 +30 offset, maybe I can go 285 or 295 /30/20?

I do not wanna rub front too much since this is my daily so 245/30/20 would be good right?

I'm ordering a set of wheels but can anyone help me with tire size?

front: 20x9.5 +30
Rear: 20x10.5 +25

can I put 255/30/20 and 285/30/20? or is it safe to go with 245/30/20 and 275/30/20? it will be OEM suspension but just installing swift springs. can anyone help me? I hate rubbing

LOL, Hilarious reply. I can always count on car forums for some chuckles. I don't think Lou will be inviting you to any backyard BBQs. :-)

Well Grumpy Lou here. I have always tried to maintain (within ½" or so) stock ODs on my vehicles, for many reasons. Anyway the stock ODs on an RCF are 26" in front and 26.6" in back. The sizes you proposed are are 26.1" in front and 26.8" in back. So you maintain the stock stagger and the ODs fall within acceptable parameters. However, you offsets are fairly aggressive over stock. But IMO, should work fine on an RCF.

^^^^My post assumed you were going with the 255/285 combo. If I were going to 20s on an RCF (or GSF) that would be my choice.

Hey Grumpy Lou, so I've just been jumping in threads all over the place trying to get up to the 30 obligatory posts needed before the moderators let noobs graduate from probation. So why not send a note to you since, judging by the number of posts you've put up, you've got your ear to the ground and know the pulse of the community. If I get stumped on something I'm coming your way buddy!

These wheels caught my interest, what do you guys think? These are 3-piece wheels, but they can be ordered as a 1-piece wheel, which I'd go with. I have USB, so the contrast of the wheel finish and paint will be similar.

I think those HRE wheels work on that R8 and like them but would have to see them mounted on your RC F to pass any judgement. HRE makes great wheels, just pricey. They remind me of the older OEM 911 turbo wheels.

I'm young at heart but my body was born when JFK was in the Oval Office: Any millennials in here that can help me understand the appeal of wheels painted red, blue, green, etc? This isn't a dig - just trying to understand what I've been seeing more and more on the road, like the silver AMG GTR with candy red Forgiato wheels. Anyone? Bueller?

I personally think only some cars can really pull off Candy Apple Red or even the Green wheels. Not for everyone and especially not for every car.
