I want the following set up:

1) BC Coilovers



2) Enkei RPF1 Wheels 18 x width?? x offset??



3) A good summer tire maybe a bfgoodrich



or





Now my question is what will i need to make this work??

1) Spacers?
2) Offset?
3) i would like a little bit of stretch.
4) i would like to eliminate wheel gap.
5) i would like the wheel to look like it has depth (Offset??)
6) i would like it to preform well.
7) extended studs? does a shop have to do that?
8) wheels to be flush with fenders.


Thank You in advance,

I hope some one can provide me with this information.

 

18x9.5+38 offset RPF1 fit without rubbing if you use 255/35/18 tires, but they require a 20mm spacer to clear front brembos, no spacer in back- that is my exact wheel setup, i run RE-01 tires in 255/35, my spacers are 20mm project kicks with the built in studs. Different withs such as a 18x9 or 18x8.5 may or not fit without spacers. I would stay with an offset of +35 or +38... You also will have to buy different lug nuts than stockers... honestly spend some time searching on this forum, there are many threads that mention which sizes fit and which require spacers- hope that helps

 

thanks A LOT!! that perfect do you have any pictures of your set up??? any rubbing fender rolling???

 

I was going to ask a dumb question about whether this was for a street car or if you'd be racing it.

Since its just a street car, go with something on the narrow side. You'll see plenty of threads around here about fitting 285 Hoosiers on 18x9.5 rims. You don't need anything that big. I would stick with 18x9.

And get the Dunlop Direzza Z1s. BF Goodrich's suck.

 

Agreed. The cool looking tread pattern gets em' every time

 

ok i so gotta question then. i know that 9.5/9 inch wide wheels need spacers deff. been there done that. im lookin a lil more streets of nc friendly 8.5 in wide and a +30 offset, should i get spacers just in case or should i be fine? 18xs8.5 enkei rpf1's with +30 offset on 245/35/18 star specs, or should i look for 255's? srry to thread jack.

 

We set them up with 18x8.5 et 30 that bolt up w/out spacers. Many are using the Dunlop Z1's with great results.

 

thanks neal. im stoked on gettin mine when i get back from afghanistan. the rpf1's have always been my all time fav. wheels. so i shouldnt have any problems then? sweet. tire rack has been a big help, thanks alot man that speaks volumes on your guys' customer service and to have a rep on our forums to boot now just to get home and get the wheels/tires and set-up my cusco coilovers and roll. he he cant wait. thanks again man
