Enkei RPF01s in 18X8.5 30mm offset for my sedan. Will they clear stock Brembos without spacers?

 

Most do 20mm front and 25 rear, but 25s and 30s will also work if the rear has a little camber ans the fronts are clean rolled.

Not exactly something I can answer, more of a question for Enkei, but from my experience with RPF1s, they should clear brembos fine.

 

well blain, long story short, I have my new wheels and tires all done and set up. worked on everything from 12pm to midnight last night, then back up at 6am today to finish it all before work to be drivable.

I should have went with 225/245/30 for my tire sizes as opposed to 35 series. I can't poke with my current drive height - I had to set it completely flush, and it still rubs on bumps when making a tight turn very lightly. o well. I may sell these tires and grab new sizes very shortly. 35 series would have been fine if I went with 10/11" widths - like John's DPE set up. I expected NSIIs to be a bit smaller than what they are.

I do want to thank you for all the help leading up to today and this set up.

I will show teasers friday afternoon - keeping them private for now until I get my rear camber dialed in tomorrow and roll in for HIN LA on friday.

Drew - when I picked up my wheels on Tuesday, I completely forgot to ask when RavSpec should be expecting their new container. I totally meant to.

 

^^Oh no your good man....already paid the rest of my balance for mine and also talked to Mark and should be getting mine, already mounted and balanced in a week

Also Drew what widths did you go with on your setup that the 35 series was too tall?? did you go 10.5/11.5

 

I just really hate 30 series sidewalls when they're that size. The load rating really isn't quite right.

BTW, you owe me pics before everyone else sees em, I expect a PM lol

 

First, my team got teasers today. I was actually gonna keel them all private until HIN, and let them see it in person first.

second, I would pm you, but lesbihonest, you don't read those ever.

I'll pm you pics tomorrow when we get to our hotel and have some down time.

 

Hey what about me Drew....i think you owe me since you forgot to ask RAVSPEC about my wheels the other day haha

 

I see how it is...

Pfff

 

I'm only on an iPad tonight while the rest of the team is clubbing in LA. It's a pain to switch back and forth, so I'm just gonna post the pics here.




Or maybe not cause Flickr on iPods and phone is phaggy time.

 

Ordering new wheels with these specs:

Front 20 X 9.5 +12
Rear 20 x 10.5 +22

I want pokage, how much camber will i need for this to work? What tire sizes would i need to get the poke?

I am currently on megan coils about 25'' all around from fenders to gound.

Any help is appreciated

 

Can't wait to see more!

 

20x10.5 +6 & 20x11.5 +6 - 235/35 255/35 nankang nsii or 235/35 265/30 general exclaim uhp? Similiar stretch? Looks like $100 more for generals

 

^where are you getting generals from?

 

Was looking on ebay

do the nankangs. much better choice. the general set up isn't the same. you'd want a 255/35 or 275/30.

so...I'm finally home. here are a few pics - I won't post many cause it's technically OT, but I help enough here it shouldn't be a problem.





at HIN.


turns out my driver fron't isn't low enough by 1/8". my garage floor has shifted from the recent earthquakes I guess. gotta fix that on tuesday.


by the end of summer:
black vinyl roof wrap
akebono bbk. white with gold logo
vis k2 trunk

in the next two weeks, I have to install my front bushing kit, SPL rear arms, and dial in the camber myself. I'll let the pros deal with toe.

Blain - since I'm so low, (passenger side is 1/8" lower than driver front), I rub on the fender liner on turns since it sags lower than the brand new driver side I have in. any tips on pushing or holding it up so I don't rub on it on turns? it's obv not hurting anything, but it's a negative attention getter if people are near by when I turn.
