Thumbs up Enkei RPF1

I have searched and only came up with people trying to run these non-staggered. I am testing waters for new wheels.

I have a good set of Azenis tires. 225/45/17 and 255/40/17

What Enkei sizes would be essentially AP2 wheel replacements. I want to mount my old tires and have no rubbing issues, just like my AP2 wheels now. I am lowered about 1.3 inches.

Any help is appreciated.

The Enkei only has a 17X8 rear wheel. You really need at least a 17X8.5 wheel for the 255/40R17.

I have 17x8 and 17x9.. if you're not lowered I believe you can get away with standard sizes (ap2)... being lowered, i used a slightly smaller tire in the rear.. 235 if i remember correctly.. fronts were the same..

The RPF1s have 17x8 +45 and 17x9 +45 offsets. You WILL rub if you run anything higher than 235 in the rear unless you're running some negative camber and/or running stock height. If you want to run something larger than 235, I suggest you get your fenders rolled.

You should be good with 225s in the front with the aforementioned setup.
