I've been considering getting a set of Enkei RPF1s for my Galant and was curious if anyone else was running a set of them and if so if they have any pictures & size they are running? I'm mainly looking into them for the low-weight and am open to suggestions if anyone knows of something better.

17x8.5. Not sure of the offset, I'll see if I can figure it out for you next time I'm home.

Quoting Chim55117:

Are you absolutely sure those are 8.5" wide? I'm pretty sure Karter had a hell of a time making his 8.5's tuck with 255's on them...lots of modification.

I think yours are 17x8 +35 by the way the car sits with them.

Pretty sure those are 17x8's.

I think the only option for 17x8.5 is a +40 or +30 that would be remotely close to fitting our cars and the +30 would not work unless you were going for that stretch look and ran massive negative camber. I was going to get RPF1's about 4 or so years ago and decided against them cause the only real option was the +40 in 8.5". I wanted to go with something closer to a +45 so I could use spacers to get the right depth if necessary and it wasn't offered with the 8.5". Easier to space the wheel out than figure out how to bring it in.

Anyway, if those were 8.5" wide they'd stick out way further and your tires would a more rolled sidewall, less vertical.

The rear wheels look like they're a little tucked like a +40 offset. Just saying /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Do they even make a 17" in a 4 bolt pattern that will fit? The only one they list anymore on their page is a 4x100

I think you guys are correct. May just be a 17x8. The fronts stick out more than the rears at the moment. I'll confirm if and when I get home (on university campus at the present.)
