Anyone has the following set up on their car? 17x9.5 +15 offset?
I currently have the ENKEI RPF1s on my car and want to get the MB Battle 17x9.5 +15 for Auto X and Track. I just want to know if they'll fit the car.

Thanks in advance!!!

I think more ppl will help...
if you can put more details.

what is your current setup?

The 17x9.5 +15 is pretty aggressive.

rear fenders will definitely require a roll + slight pull (depending on camber and tire size)

Fronts - depending on tire size... can make them fit with some camber.

Those tires are taller than stock, so that'll compound your possible issues.

Oddly enough, there are a lot of 17x9 and 17x9.5" rims that just plane don't fit our cars. I know the RPF1 +22 requires about a 10mm spacer up front. Dunno about the +15 though; sorry.

I haven't tried to fit a 10" wide wheel myself but from what I've read on here from others that have done it you will need to roll your rear fenders and run a spacer in the front so that the inside of the wheel doesn't rub the strut, maybe 10-15 mm. If you do go with the 10" wheels I would go with a minimum of a 255/40/17 tire and most people would probably recommend a 275 although it would be a bit taller and would require more work to fit under the fenders it would fit the wheel better. If all you want to do is fit a 245 width tire then you should be fine with a 9" wheel which are much easier to find to fit the Evo with a lot less hassle.

it should fit in the rear but youll most likely need a spacer up front and it depends on tire choice also

your question on the +15, i doubt it will fit the rear without major surgery

thanks a lot everyone -
I'm currently getting rid of my Enkei RPF1s so I can buy this new wheels... my budget for new wheels would be around 1200; so the 5zigen looked like a good choice but the 17x10 after all the searching; looks like it will need to much work on the car... probably 17x9 with a low offset would be better... what do you all think?

I've almost sold my ENKEI RPF1s and I'm most likely getting the 5zigen FN01RC 17x9 +15.
Does anyone run that offset? I see that everybody goes with the +35 but the +15 has a much more aggressive concave look to it. I know i'll need some fender rolling but besides that it should fit just fine right?
Thanks in advance
