I am going to purchase enkei rpf1 soon and wanted to see if you guys had opinions on the fitment for the wheel and tire sizes i want to get.

17 x 8 all around. +45 offset

235/40 all around.

oem springs, lowered on koni yellow.

i know the rear will fit...what do you guys think about the front?

will fit? need to roll fender? need to roll and flare?

You probably won't really need to do anything tbh.

Hi guys, I just got my wheels thanks to Greg!

I have a question and you guys might be able to help me.

The wheels are 17x9 +45, i got my rears rolled and flaired about 5-6mm, now im thinking should I run a 265/17/40 tire on the rear... im about -2.58 camber

The height of the car at the rear is, the guard is just sitting above the rear tire on the stock ap1 wheel.

what you guys think?

fronts ill run 245/40 i think.

^Shouldn't be hard to do at all. 17x9 +45 is really not aggressive at all. You can basically fit them easy with 2 degrees negative camber and just a roll.

265's would work fine.

Just threw the wheels on tonight, backed it out of the garage and took a few pics. In the process of spending two days doing a full exterior detail. Will post pics from my full shoot this week sometime. Oh yea, these wheels look a million times better in person!!!! Look good stationary, but WOW they look sick while rolling. Made my friend drive my car up and down the street. The SBC really pops and makes the wheels look like they have a huge lip

^^ Welcome to the club bro. I love the feeling when you first get them on. It's un-explainable.

Note: If you don't want your decals, send them my way. =)

That's great, Adrs2k!!! I just put on the just the Enkei symbol decals opposite corners of the valve stems. Understated but there so the wheels don't look "naked"...Or send them to DTP525...

Question, what if I wanted to order more of those decals(especially the blue Enkei symbol)...who do I contact? GTMotoring or Enkei directly???

Funny story, Got a friend with a BB ap1 and has the flat black rpf1's 17x9 +45's all around(same size and offset as mine). Last night was the first time he had seen my new wheels... A few minutes later we're sitting around and shooting the shit and out of nowhere he suggests that we trade wheels for a week. I first laughed my ass off then told him that I'm saving him money by saying no, as soon as he gets them on he's gonna want to sell his black rpf1's and put an order in for the SBC's. He looked at me with confusion and replied...No no no, I just wanna see what they look like on a BB. I replied...Why, looking on changing it up?!! HAHAHA
