Ok so I have been doing some searching for a set of RPF1's for my evo and for my birthday last year I decided to buy myself a set. I looked around the forums to see what size would work without spacers and I think when I ordered I was confused. I wanna put slicks on these rims being I already own NTO3's. So for whatever reason I ordered 17x9 +35 and I thought that will clear my Brembos. With my arm being all ****ed up like it is I have a hard time straightening and bending my arm still almost after a year and being my car is at a shop an hr and some change away I didn't even think about checking them. Sure as **** they don't fit. I was reading after a while I need 20mm spacers, but my question is going to be if I put a 27" slick on it will I have to do anything else?

I do not know much about offsets or rims in general, so I kinda ****ed up. I was thinking of maybe selling them and go with what I need, but then I thought maybe I can order 2 more rims with a different offset to fit over my Brembos. If I do this I will have a +35 in the rearbut what offset do I need in a 17x9 to fit over the stock brembos without a spacer? Or maybe with a spacer being I have ARP wheel studs now. I just don't know what to do on this and its eating me alive being I have nothing better to do all day lol. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I've had 2 setups where I got lucky enough I didnt need spacers. Hypergrams 18x11 ET15 front, ET40 rear, 295 A052s. but this is not for everyone and needs several mods to fit. I've had several RPF1s and that was a long time back but IIRC my 17x10s with different offsets didnt need spacers.
anyway, what you need is a good baseline (what you have) and start using willtheyfit.com



I'm just showing how helpful this tools is

 

Thanks for the link, Problem I have though is the 17x9's +35 hit the brembos and this is what I am trying to avoid. My nto3's are 17x9.5 +38 and they fit no issues. I tired to go a little less being I want to use these for slicks. But again they hit the damn brembos without a spacer.

 

adding spacers is practically the same as getting the rims with perfect offset. no spacer just look nicer

 

I know 17x8.5 +30 RPF1 fits without spacers. With 255's that run a little wide you'll need to roll the rear a little though.

 

Yeah I'm trying to avoid that but I not have a choice. I looked at so much info and IDK how I ordered the wrong ones ya know.

 

Per the Enkei website only the 17x8 +35, 17x8.5 +30, and the 18x8.5 +30 size of the RPF1 will fit the 7/8/9.

If you need a 9" width wheel and want to stay at 17" diameter, the only Enkei wheel I see that will fit is the PF01SS (+35 offset). If you want to go to 18" you may have more options.

 

Thanks for the info. I have to think about what I am going to do with the ones I have but thanks for that.

I think you guys are forgetting these are for slicks not street tires. So 26: tires
