I have figured out how to change the FOV used in the mirrors of rfactor (Finally!)
You must again edit the YourUsername.PLR file found in the "rfactor>userdata>YourUsername" folder.
I recommend using Notepad++ to make finding the lines easier. DOWNLOAD:

What we are looking at starts at line 177 I have changed all the comments to better explain what they are and if you should change them. Bold for important
Virtual Rearview In Cockpit="1" //<< Make sure this is set for a corrected FOV
Rearview Width="64.00000"// <<IGNORE (Affects Nothing)
Rearview Height="4.00000" //<< This is the line used to adjust the mirrors FOV. Higher Numbers are wider (Default 14!)
Rearview Cull="0" //<< Change this to 0 to force it to render all objects
Seat Adjustment Aft="-0.08200" //IGNORE
Seat Adjustment Up="0.03600" //IGNORE
Mirror Adjustment Horizontal="0.00000" //IGNORE
Mirror Adjustment Vertical="0.00000" //IGNORE
Cockpit Vibration Mult1="0.65000" // << Lower these from 1 to reduce headshake at high speed.
Cockpit Vibration Freq1="35.00000" // IGNORE
Cockpit Vibration Mult2="0.75000" // << Lower these from 1 to reduce headshake at high speed.
Cockpit Vibration Freq2="50.00000" // IGNORE
Moving Rearview="0" // << Set this to 0 to lock the rearview's position. Otherwise it gets funky.
Rearview_Front_Clip="0.00000" // IGNORE
Rearview_Back_Clip="500.00000" // Set this to the distance you want the rear view distance to be
Rearview Particles="1"
Self In TV Rearview="0" // IGNORE
Self In Cockpit Rearview="0" // << Make sure this is 0 or you will appear in your rearview
Backfire Anim Speed="70.00000"// << Change this because 20 is stupid slow.
Now, you may need to play with that (Rearview Height="XXX") number until you are comfortable. I think 4 works best for me. Good Luck
** I have also adjusted the Look Ahead angle to be greater because I do not have head tracking. That is on lines 237-240
Leanahead Angle="0.10000" // I turned this up a bit
Look Roll Angle="0.55000" // rotates (barrel roll) your view as you turn
Glance Angle="1.40000" // For the Look Left Look Right Keys (This number is WAY to high! Do not use 1.4!)
Lookahead Angle="0.40000" // this maxes out at 20 with lookahead in-game set to 100%. I doubled it. If you set it to 1.80 you can see out the side windows while driving. Which is weird.
