Hey Guys, I'm contemplating getting a set of the RPF1 for my 2005 Evo 8, in the oem size of 17 x 8 with 35 mm offset, and runnin 235/45/r17 Yokohama Avid Envigors. The question I have is this; I know that they will clear the brakes, so that's not the issue in terms of needing spacers, however I am lowered on Tein Flex Z coilovers, and I'm wondering if there will be any issues with rubbing. I'm on the stock 8 enkei's right now and have no issues, so I just wanted to confirm before I make the jump to these.

Thanks for any input!

UPDATE: disregard, putting in Wheels Fitment thread!

 

Yes, I believe you are correct. This RPF1 is one of just a few that actually clear the front brakes

The 17x8 +35 is almost identical to the stock wheel (just 3mm further outboard). Running a 235 should be totally fine w/out a rear roll

 

I have set of RPF1 in black on my 05 RS and they clear very aggressively when i get home i can give you the sizes i used and pictures if you want to give you an idea.

 

sounds good! Thanks!

 

 

Wheels look good on the RS. Please post up your shots here in the RS Only Thread

thank you for all the feedback! I’m thinking I’ll probably move to a 17 x 9.5 + .38 mm offset in the Rpf1’s with 255/40/17 tires. I saw someone running this set up and they did 20mm spacers up front. Hopefully that should work with no rolling involved.

 

I would be interested what minus says but i think because you are lowered you are going to need work

 

I run this setup and it works good. I did add 10mm spacers in the rear but rub from time to time. That setup I have doesn’t have rolled fenders but I’m thinking I might need to. It’s the best look in my opinion.

 

they're a nice wheel. but dam they're everywhere in my country lol
