Enkei RPF1 - 17x10 fitment help

Searched and searched to no avail. I'm looking to move up from 17x9.5 +38 to 17x10 +18 all around. Planning to run 255 tires since that's what I have available. What kind of camber settings are you guys using? I know front and rear will need spacers. My fenders are rolled already.

Thanks,
Chu

I ran 17 X 10 +18 RPF1 but with 275s and it required fender work(lip rolled and pulled) and 2.8 degrees of camber. I would think that even on 255s the offset pushes the rim so far out that fender work and 2.5+ camber are needed to make it work.

You will need to roll + pull your fender.

Depending on what type of tires and how low your car is.... anywhere from -3 ~ -3.5 degrees of camber will allow you to clear the fenders.

I have searched this for myself and found some people running 17x10 +18 in front and +38 for the rear no spacers and a roll in the rear. I will be doing this soon to see if it can be done. My car isn't very low just 1 inch all around. I would be ok with 17x9.5 but i can only find 17x10 sbc rpf1 in those offsets I want.

Evokid03,
Your car looks real good with the +18 offset. I don't want to use spacers other wise I would go with the setup you have. What kind of fender mods do you have done?

Wow, that wheel setup sounds really aggressive man. Post up some pic when done. I only have 18x8.5 and it's rubbing like crazy. Hated it. GL

Really well it looks like +18 all around it is. To the OP please post pics when your set up is on.

How much camber are you running and what size tires? I'm not looking to stretch 235s on an 10inch wheel. I'm running 17x9.5 +38 on 255s now, and it looks pretty aggressive. Could you post pics of the +18s all around?

Thanks Ryan. I'm really more interested in how it fits rather than how it will look. Very interested in the amount of camber and size of your tires.
