Enkei RPF1RS w/12mm Offset or RPF1 w/ 38 Offset

[FK7_Philly]

Enkei recently release a deep lip version of the RFP-01 called the RFP-01RS. The model is only offered in a few sizes and offsets. I am trying to figure if the 18" x 9.5 with a +12mm offset would poke too much or if the back of the rim would hit the wheel well and brakes. If it can't work I would stick with the RFP-01s with a +38offset.

18x9.5 +12 is mad aggressive this is +22 with a 5 mm spacer in the front making it +17. You’re going to need a lot of camber or it will look goofy

This is rpf1 17x9.5 +18. Rpf1’s are tricky when it comes to width diameter and offset some specs look goofy like the spokes are concave but 18x9.5+38 is what I’d do. The blue set is 18x9.5 +38

Thanks Everyone, the blue fitment looks great on the car. What was your suspension set-up? If I do go with the RFPs I'll stick with a +38 offset. Other alternatives are Gram Lights 57DRs.

What size tire are you running on this with 18 x9.5+22? Coilovers? And did you have to roll the fenders

OP, glad you came to your senses and are going +38. That +12 would have been such a mess. You would have gotten a lot of people staring at your hatch but not in a good way.

235/40 stock tire size, didn’t roll the fenders this is on air suspension

Good to know....i think i stretched my tires too much on with 225 on 9.5 +22 and its wearing the tread out really fast....so 235 should still fit. I'm on coilovers with maybe an inch drop... I wonder if 245 would even fit

Yea 225 are stretched I was uncomfortable with the 235 I’ve had 245/40 on 18x9.5 +38 was fine

When my 225s need to be replaced I'll get 245 thanks

with the rpf1's just be cautious the spoke design is more restrictive if you plan to have a bbk in the future. It may require a spacer, just something to keep in mind with fitment.

also not all tires are equal width regardless of specs. the 255/18 kumho v730 I have in my garage for 18x9.5 +35 wheel will probably run wider than an equivelent all season 255/18 tire, same size.

there is definitely some measure of uncertainty in my case, where I am skeptical of throwing my wheels and tires on before doing suspension.
