Any ideas for wheel specs for aftermarket options? Offset and width for flush/aggressive set ups?

How do you want to go about this?
Are you looking to just throw on a set of wheels that fit flush with the body or are you willing to take it beyond that with rolling the fenders and getting a camber kit?
OR go even further and get a rocket bunny kit for some really aggressive setup?

No rocket rabbit.

I guess it all depends on how this car is set up. I would like to get it lowered pretty aggressive and a nice stance with no wheel gap. I guess I will have to play with wheel sizes and tires sizes before I order custom wheel/offsets.

Some of the pictures of the rocket bunny look over done to me, but I actually like the curves that I am seeing at this angle.

the car runs such a high offset. I wonder if ISF type fitment will work on these cars or if even that will be too aggressive.

Vossen has this one on their site.. Says 20x9 and 20x10.5 but no mention about the offset.

some photoshop guru needs to lower it, lowered... it will look amazing, especially with the difference in offset going on there.

I'll be dropping my rc-f sport in the next couple of weeks, I plan on leaving the stock 19" wheels that it came with for now until i get bored. I will be throwing on some hub centric spacers to compensate for the rear and front gaps to give it a more flush/aggressive look.

What will you be using to drop it? I have yet to find any springs or coilovers made for it yet.

I believe Tanabe has some springs available. I've also seen people using the Tanabe GS springs on the RC on CL.

There's a wrapped teal colored one lowered on Vossen wheels. Not sure exactly what it's lowered on.

I saw they released these .... Sadly its only 0.6" drop in the rear... i would have purchased if it was 1.6" like the front is... still waiting for someone to make something with an aggressive drop

While that drop isn't as low as some of us would wish it to be, that is actually the perfect step away from OEM while still maintaining most of it's daily capability, not that 1.6 wouldn't, but you know what i mean

Conservative drop to fill the gap with bigger wheels - BAM! Call it a day. lol.
