Enkei RPF1 + Eibach Pro Kit Question

I plan on getting a set of Enkei RPF1's in 18 x 9.5 +15 offset and the Eibach Pro Kit springs and was wondering if anyone was running this setup. Will I have any fitment or rubbing issues? I will be running with the stock Advans (245/40/18) on the RPF1's.

I've been wondering the same. I'm pretty sure with a +15 offset you would have to, but I'm hope there is some kind of loophole.

I don't know, but I read from several members here on the forums who have 18x9.5 +15 RPF1s on 245/40R18s on an Eibach drop that say they don't rub.

I think any RPF 1 with +15 offset will rub the rear a bit. Correct me if I'm wrong though...

I have that setup and the person I bought the car from had the fenders rolled due to rubbing

Wait* I have 265's on, idk about 245's but If were you, I would roll those fenders just to be on the safe side

It will probably still rub on the 245's, the +15 pushes the wheel out a lot farther than stock offset. If you had no big dips/bumps in the road where you drive it MIGHT not, but if you do or drive the car hard cornering etc it will probably hit still unless you add a bit of negative camber

You will definitely rub if you're running a 9.5" rim with a +15, there is no doubt on a 265 with that wheel offset.

It would probably clear with stock advans on a +22. Hopefully someone will chime in with that setup because I've never run that setup.

Run a little bit of a negative camber in the rear and you shouldn't get any rubbing. I know buddy's got 18x9.5 +22 with 275 on them with a negative camber in the rear.

+22 will clear with 245s

+15 roll the rears for 245/255/265/275
