Enkei RPF's17x8.5 30 --245/40/17--

[mean_green]

I have the opportunity to pick up a set of Enkei RPF's for a steal in this size and wanted to hear from some of you first hand if these would work out. I plan to have a relatively low stance on my gvr4. Any insight is appreciated or if they will rub what I might be able to do to get them to work, I'd like to add these to my wheel whore stable.

Thanks,-Alan

Those will stick out a bit.

If you're pretty low then there will so definite fender to tire contact. You could probably put some smaller tires on to help it clear, but then it will be hellaflush and everyone here will hate you.

 

hey bro nice wheels you got there i had my 5 lug rpf1's from my evo before left over and now use them for race sessions on the VR4 wrapped on some Kumho V710's and another set on daily falken azenis Rt615K's yes the person before me who commented is right 245's will stick out no matter what you do. especially with a 17x8.5's

What do you have as suspension do you have coilovers? only way to get rid of the front to stick out is to give them a negative 7 camber.

I would sell those tires and get your losses back and buy some 225's or 235's I jave 235's on the V710's and 225's on the falken azenis.

235's stick a bit but not much 225's just sits just right.

Hope this helps i'm glad another member is running one of these

245's fit fine, just not on a 8.5" width and a +30 offset. My combo uses a 8" width and a +35 offset. With camber at -2 degrees in the front, they tuck perfectly.

 

yeah 8.5's are pretty wide.

I'm rolled far enough to fit an 18x9 30 offset. I test fit with 245-40s. I got them under the fenders, but barely. If I was going to run those wheels, I would get a 235 or IMHO a 225 like others suggested. I'm 2.5-3* neg camber and lowered pretty far on coilovers.


OR better yet! Pass that hook up along to me! lol

225 would be pretty stretched on an 8.5" rim. But 245 -30 is likely to stick out under the fender.

What's the point of such a wide rim if only running 225's? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

To be helllaaaaa frush.
