Hi

I am looking at getting a set of Enkei RFP1 and have concerns regarding the offsets. Here are the specs of the set I found:
front = 17x8+45 with 215-45-17 tires
rear = 17x9+45 with 245-40-17 tires

My car is bone stock, not lowered.

I had a look at the stickie regarding fitment. Rear wheels offset seem to be ok, but recommended offset for the front is +48.

Would I have to roll fenders / play with camber to run +45 for the front wheels?

Thanks in advance for your help.

yes you will need to roll your fenders and run negative camber.

btw, am i the only one that feels like a new thread about RPF1s shows up everyday?

AP2 is on the money. The 17X9 with the 45mm offset is very aggressive.

how much negative camber are we talking about here?

slipper

agressive, but not VERY agressive.

About -2.5* - -3.0* depending on your suspension. If your suspension is stock then you wont need more than -2.0*.

Comments on his question about fronts, anyone?

I would recommend that you roll the small lip of the fender up front as you will most likely damage your fender otherwise.

When the lip is not rolled what happens is that as your front wheels are turned and your suspension compresses (Such as when entering a driveway) your tire catches the lip of the fender. Upon rebound, your tire pulls this lip downward thus causing a dent on the lower exterior portion of your fender. By rolling the lip, these problems will be all but eliminated.

BTW, the damaged fender is more likely to occur on the passenger side of the vehicle due to the fact that most driveways are entered by turning right as opposed to left.

What wheels, sizes and offsets are you running?
