proper offset for enkei RPf1's on an 04 coupe

Hey guys,

I am looking at buying the Enkei RPF1's.. thinking of 18x8.5 front, and 18x9.5 rear. What would be the proper offset range? Me car is on bilstien coilovers, barely dropped, so almost stock height..

I ask because I can only seem to find the 18x8.5s in +30, and the 9.5s in +15.. will that fit properly?

those offsets are weak. Go with offsets in the low single digits in those widths

Yeah I'm worried most about the +30 for the 8.5 up front.. I can't find anything lower. Guess I'll have to get wheel spacers or just go with a different wheel that has the offsets I need

I believe Gruppe-S offers them in 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 in +15 all around.

If that's true, then those are the offsets to get. Nice and aggressive without needing any serious modification to fit.

Bought them earlier this morning

I was initially shooting for 8,5 f and 9.5 rear, but I went for the 9.5 f and 10.5 r because they were the right offsets.

Thanks guys!
