Hey fella's, wanting to get some of you guys' pics of 18" RPF1''s here as well if you have the chance:
EIGHTEEN INCH WHEELS ON YOUR S2K

 

can anyone tell me what tire size i should run with 17x9.5+38 and 17x8.5+40

 

First, do you have any type of fender work? Do you only want a roll or are you going to pull or flare your fenders? Are your bumper tabs relocated? Do you plan on running streched tires or meaty tires? How much camber are you planning to run? What height are you at? These question will help determine what tire sizes are going to be best for your set up.

 

lets put it this way. i own a body shop. the car will be slammed and i dont mind doing frender work at all. i would like a little stretch on the tires. nothing meaty

 

For a mild stretch use oem sizes. 215/45/17 and 245/40/17.

I run 9"+45/9.5"+38 with bfg kdw 225/45 and 245/40 with -2.5 camber front and -4 rear. Front fenders are rolled, pulled and flared with fender liner shaved down. Rears are rolled and pulled with bumper tabs relocated and bumper shaved down completely on the inner lip of the bumper.

It all comes down to fender work and preference really. In the future I plan on up sizing my rims and offsets and down sizing the tires for clearance but that's me. You do you! Hope I was of some help.

 

Thanks a lot. You where a big help

 

Hey guys, I just received my new set of RPF1's (17x9 +45 all around) two days ago, and can't wait to get 'em mounted and join the club. I'm thinking of getting a set of Sumitomo HTR ZIII 245/40 all around, but not sure if I'll have some issues with rubbing without rolling the fenders by having a little more negative camber, as the car is gonna be lowered an inch with eibachs.
Thanks guys!

Here's some pics of the wheels getting out of the boxes














I'll try to get some better pics soon.

 

I feel like the only one that decided to spend the 'wheel set' money on full coilovers for a proper adjustable drop once I get my RPF1's

I still think this is better off. As I said before, I can always buy one or two wheels at a time later Yes, some people out there are on a budget!

 

got my 9 +45s.. wish i had put the 215s i had on the 9s but oh well..

17x9 +45 with 235/45/17 -2 degrees
17x9.5 +38 with 245/45/17 -5 degrees

i know the sidewalls on the rears are too tall.. but they rub like hell.. pics coming soon

 

Hello all, Leave it to me to get to the party when everyone has gone home!!!
I wish I knew about this thread before I picked up my Enkei RPF1's!!! I have spent most of my Sunday reading all 133 pages or at least scrolling through it. I have found a lot of helpful things so I would like to thank you all.
But the answer I am searching for I did not find so please don't shoot..... Here goes yes I know after reading all of this I should keep my wheel size to myself (lol) I have purchased a Set of 17x7 Front and 17x8 Rear with a 45 offset all the way around and the tires are 205/50/17 Front and 225/45/17 Rear they are Yokohama S. Drives And I have noticed that Tire Rack sells them Both but not as a wheel and tire package something about the tire being too aggressive for my application (02 Honda S2000) So now I am stuck with this wheel and tire package and I do not want to modify my fenders or relocate my bumper screw. I would like to drop my car and without modifying any thing I would like to know what is a safe drop?
PS I forgot to mention that I am a heavy boy that’s 6ft tall Thanks for any input!!!
