Hey Guys. I am looking to upgrade my wheel package coming in the spring. I am wanting to get a set of Enkei RPF1's 17X8. The problem is I have a new set of tires. Stock 215/45R17's Do you guys know if I will run into any issues getting these tires to fit? (I know i should probably go to a 235 but my other tires are new) Also if I would be running into if i put a set of Eibach Pro Kit Progressive springs on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Make sure you know which wheel you are getting. The RPF1 is a real sneak when it comes to the way the wheel looks in different widths. The 9" wide looks very different from the 8" wheel. I don't want you to spend like $1200 and be wicked pissed when they show up and aren't what you expected.

That said, you shouldn't have any issues with that setup depending on the offset. What are the exact wheel specs? Also, post a pic of the wheel you are getting.

I am thinking these. Gold RPF1's...according to Enkei's sizing charts the gold only come in a few sizes (17"x8" with 45 Inset and 73 Bore Diameter) being the ones i am looking at. I currently have EKM3's but want something a bit more aggressive looking.

The 17x8 will not look like that picture. See the nice concavity and the lip? That will be gone on the x8" width. That particular wheel is at least a 9" wide. The difference is a bowed out vs. bowed in appearance. Most images posted are of the 17x9 cause it looks great.


This thread has some comparison pics.
