Bought some reps new with new tires. 18x9.5 +20 with 265/35. Looks great and all but I am hitting the big brake calipers in the fronts.

I measured it and need to add 12mm spacers to clear it up. that would make me somewhere at +8 offset. Anyone have any pictures or any setup close to this? I'm afraid it's going to stick out too much. Drop on H&R springs.

12mm hub centric spacers and extended studs is on it's way....

 

eeek...man im pretty sure that's gonna stick out quite a bit..

 

Actually the 18x9.5 +20 added extended studs and 12mm spacers to clear the calipers making it +8 offset, it looks pretty good and not much sticking out. for anyone who wonders. no spacers in the back.

 

RPF1's aren't an expensive wheel? how much cheaper are the knock off's that you decided to go with them instead of real Enkei's?

 

I know the rpf1 can go for 1400-1500$$ but I got these for 600$. So I though I'd give it a try.

 

You should only need a 5mm. Many member inculding myself have run the 9.5 +15 rpf1s without any issue

 

these are knock off's, not real rpf1's. so they could be shaped differently

 

That's kind of what I am thinking because technically with the offset as is, they should be poking out a crazy amount lol

 

that portion of it, I think the company that made the wheels just measured wrong... all wheels tend to vary a little from model to model, but usually within a few mm of the list ed offset... These sound like they're quite a bit off...
