Default Just got Enkei RPF1's w/ HTR Z III's

First of all much thanks to Jim for his professional service. He even included an extra set of hubcentric rings and lug nuts for the s2000 to get everything installed correctly.

YES I KNOW THE PAINT IS HORRIBLE. I'm getting it repainted this summer. but this is just to get an idea of the wheels.

Specs on the wheels and tires are:

Front: 17x8.5 +30mm w/ 235/45ZR17

(front is wider because I put in a Comptech non-adjustable front sway bar)

Rear: 17x9.5 +38mm w/ 275/40ZR17

try adding some rear camber, you should be able to get close to -4 degrees and that should help alot

if all else fails you can always just try to sell these rears and go with a 265 tire

they don't make 265 in 17." they're fine now that I made some adjustments. The 5" of clearance from the brake disc to the wheel is insane! time for a big brake kit and a paint job!

The wheels look good, even better once the car is painted!

looks amazing! any close up of both front and rear? How much wider is the front and rear panels anyway? the rims look like they sit flush with them.

Love the set up in every way.My ideal look, and you even have the rear widths I want at 275. However I'll probably be going with the j's front fenders and spoon rear(possible asm). How much wider are yours? want to compare and see if they will work the same.
