still a great track setup.
Thanks very much for giving me the info to CCW. I called and had them make me a custom spacers that is exactly to my needs. I had them make a spacers that's 10mm, on the bore that's facing the wheel hub, I had them machined to 56mm, while the bore that's facing the wheel I had them machined to 72.6mm which is the bore size of my Enkei's. This a truly a hub centric set up and not cheap as they charge me $75 per spacers.

I'm going to be ordering another set of Enkei RPF1's in 18x9.5 in 38 offset. I might need to call CCW to make me another set of custom spacers again.

I will post pictures of the car once tires are mounted to the wheel and on the car. I need to also call RCE to order some of those Swift springs for my T2 coilovers in 700lb/in front springs and 600lb/in for the rear. I hope that should be stiff enough. If not, I will go with Moton 3 way coilovers.

from my research the RPF1s in that size require at least an 8mm spacer.

and it makes sense you can go less than 15mm with your setup since your wheel hub is greater than the subaru hub. getting a 56.1 on the hub and wheel side require a thicker spacer.

CCW has awesome customer service, did you talk to chip?

I like the RPF1 better since they are lighter. Since RPF1 uses 73mm bore, I may be able to get away with the current spacers I will have soon.

I did talk to Chip, but he transfer me to some lady that took my order.

i'm not sure they make .4mm hubcentric rings. You'll be fine.

one main reason I love CCW is there was an order mix up that was my fault in not saying exactly what i wanted, no questions asked I sent the spacers back and he got me the new ones by the end of the week. (luckily shipping is only one day for me since we're both in FL).
