Black Evo 8 on 17x9.5 +18 Enkei Rpf1 (SBC) Pics

My theme for this car is polish btw


Hey guys well after finally getting my wheels installed and messing with the fenders i got my wheels to clear.

First off il say that i love these wheels to death and they give the car a whole different appearance.

Many doubted about getting the +18 offset all around but il be honest and say that wheel fitment was easy.

I rolled the rear quarters and pull them very very lightly and thats all i did, fronts r untouched. ( NO rubbing)
Also note im on tein s tech springs (lowest springs).

Setup

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01r 245/40/17 tires

Enkei Rpf1 17x9.5 +18 in SBC

I wanted to c what other people thought

First off il say the car looks 10 times better in person than the pics.
The pics dont really show the aggressiveness of the wheels.
THey have a nice lip and wide appearance.


If anyone wants a certain pics im willing to add

Enjoy

wow looks awesome compared to your old set up! I'm curious too if it rubs. I'm guessing that the 245's are spread out pretty good over those 9.5 inch rims so maybe t doesn't rub??

keep telling yourself it doesn't rub enough and you won't notice it rubbing when you have a packed car
