Best Rim for A Stock

Ok, I read the whole A Stock sticky. This is my conclusion if you want to run 275 kumho 710's. You need 33 offset in front and 38 offset(stock) in rear. It seems like the lightest rim that satisfy this criteria is getting a set of stock BBS with 38 offset at 17.8 lbs each. Then purchasing 5mm H&R Trak Spacers for the front. Am I correct? I really like the Enkei RPF-1, but offset is 35

Volk makes the CE28N in a 33 offset. I ran this wheel when I was in A Stock. I ran 245s in the rear and 275s up front. I don't know if the 275s with the 33 offset would rub in the rear though. The 33 offset with 275s in the front rubbed on the inner plastic fender liner a little, but it's really no big deal.

The wheel barely weighs 16lbs.

Just checked the CE28N does have 38 offset, could anyone confirm they would clear the Brembos? Around 600 each though.

Enkei makes a really good track wheel. They're on the inexpensive side too..

I don't doubt that, but need proper offset for A stock. Anyone else with offset experience with 710's?

I run the RPF-1 with the H&R spacer in the front. With 275 710s, it rubs very slightly in the front. With the Hankook 275s, no rubbing.

Are the RPF-1 with 35 offset? Spacers are 5mm, correct?

All you need to do is google "Enkei wheels for a Mitsubishi Evo", and you'll find they do. Heck, Tire Rack has 'em in correct offsets.
For that matter, I have a set of Advan's that have a +35mm offset as well. Once again, just searched and found 'em. I only searched these two manufacturers, there's probably more.
Edit: I take that back. I also found 5zigen in the correct offset. They're also light and inexpensive, with a good reputation of holding up on the track.

Sorry - my bad... my spacers aren't H&R, they are 1/8th inch (3mm not 5mm using stock lugs). I don't remember where I got them, but they look like these
