Thumbs up Enkei RPM2's on s2k?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if it would work to get some 18x7.5 and 18x8's of the enkei rpm2's. The offsets for those are 42 and 45. I've heard that I'll need a higher positive offset, is this high enough?

you would need a higher offset. cause running 18s also you would have to modify the fenders and the rear bumper also with these offsets.

whoops... nvm, guess I'll keep looking. Anyone have any ideas for some 18's that will fit for under 1600? Or is that just a stupid question?

Okay, thanks for the advice. That would probably free up allot more options for me, I'll probably go for that. TY!

Wheel diameter has no effect on fitment. Just get the correct diameter tires. Fitting has to do with tire width and wheel offset. Read the Wheel and Tire FAQ. Those wheels will fit, it may be close on the front if you use tires wider than 215, but the FAQ is pretty conservative so you probably can fit 225's on the front, may need to roll the front fenders but the rears should be able to take 245 tires.
