Default enkei rpf1

There is a set of enkei rpf1s forsale on STL Honda parts site. Described as 17x8 and 17x9+45 staggered 5x114.3 lug patern. $800
currently have 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 in not so good shape. Same size as the tires on my ap2v2s
Really like the looks of the wheels : What does staggered mean?
What does +45 mean in comparisont to the stock wheels om my car?
I'm sure the fitment issue has been beat to death. Just hoping someone can tell me if these will work on my car without problems.
Be patient lol
Thanks for any opinions on this issue. Want to buy my car something for Christmas.

You will need to roll fenders, relocate rear bumper tab. Otherwise yes they will work just fine

Staggered means the wheel/tire sizes front to back are different. The stock wheels on the S are staggered, that's why the front tires are narrower than the rears.

The +45 is the offset of the wheels, what it means is the Enkei wheels will extend out further than your stock wheels.

Thanks for the quick reply. I sure dont want to get into rolling fenders etc. I already have 15mm rear spacers from previous owner so the wheels would make it worse.

Well you would take those spacers off for the RPF1's but they would still need a roll. Do you have 15mm spacers front and rear? because if you do you should have the fronts rolled anyways.

If you have a 2006 or later car give it a Hondata FlashPro and Gernby tune for Christmas.

Your AP2V2 wheels were made by Enkei. Nothing magic with the RPF1 wheels. Every high schooler has them. So many they don't look custom. I don't find them attractive at all. Yeah they're lighter

A former owner put 17x7 45mm Front and 17x8 45mm Rear on my '06. These fit in the wheel wells without modification but are narrower than the OEM wheels. These were gone just as fast as I could get reconditioned OEM AP2V2 wheels (like yours) and new tires on the car. Didn't help that they were black either.

Interesting info. I have not gotten used to the black wheels either even on the new high end cars.
I have had flashpro tuning and the car runs great. I like the rpf1 wheels but have rear spacers on and am figuring out if they will fit with the spacers.
thanks for the reply Chuck
btw my 06 looks like the pic above.

Well thats what I wanted to find out. I dont want to roll fenders at all. I dont have spacers on front so okay there. The rear spacers require a tool to remove and then i wonder if the 255/40s will rub on suspension so looks like i am going to stay as is.
Thanks for the response.
