Ahh, coil clearance issues? Or brakes?

Either way that sucks. My 17x9 +20 fns only cleared my coils by 2.5mm with it fully adjusted at the knuckle.

I run 17x9.5 +18 with a 5mm spacer up front, and 17x10 +18 in the rear. Unless you used the offset calcuator to determine if you had enough clearance up front to fit them, they probably won't fit without >15mm spacers. The offsets on the RPF1s tend to be a little bit higher than most wheels, i.e. FN01R-C's for comparable sizes.

Yeah, my left latch has had trouble closing for quite some time. It took some horizontal forward force to get it to close. After breaking it, I thought, should've used WD-40. Of course that happens after I broke it. It works fine now when closed/locked, but I have to massage it to get it to close since the ABS plastic broke above the horizontal piston towards the short non-locking side.

Thats weird because 17x10 + 12 FN's clear pretty easy. And I know a few guys who run the 17x10 +18 RPF1's up front on S14's.
