Enkei Rpf1 ?!?

02-Lancer-Es · Sep 25, 2009, 12:16 AM

Well heres the deal , want to change the wheels up again but want to step up the quality a little

Been searching on Google but can't figure it out !
I want a Concave look on some Sbc polished Enkei Rpf1 . I don't want the spokes inside to stick out like this .

But i want the look to be more like this !

The question i had is what offset or width would i have to buy ?
My car is 4x100 and there is these options .
16x7 +43 offset
16x7 +35 offset
Or will none of them create this effect? I could go 17 if i have to .
Dont worry my car has stretched (about 1 inch) fenders and rolled .

This is the color i want them to be .

Here is my car with Polished wheels , i liked the look !

I also want to get a Carbon Apr slitter made for my car to give it a meaner stance !

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks ,
Antonio .

pure sex
ive always wanted the enkei Rpf1s

in order to get them to look like the ones on the rx8 and evo im pretty sure you'll need to get the +35

please do it and that finish looks amazingg

The lower the offset, the more concave they will look.

that would be sexxxxyyyy and so aggressive... would you have to raise the car up at all with such a low offset?

Yup im just trying to find out if 35mm is enough!

Also nope i would not have to raise it up . the fenders are stretched out

I have about a 1 inch gap between the tire and fender and I'm running 16x7 40 right now with a huge drop !

You can see the gap on the rear on this picture

wow yeah i do see it... did you stretch them out yourself with a fender roller? or am i thinking of something totally different

35 is not enough!

you need at least 9 inches of width and +35 or less offset for concave.

i have a set of 16x7 +35 on my integra, and they look like the ones on that MP3

YUP...and they dont make anything in the 16" size to get the slight concave/lip look for the RPF1.

at the minimum...you need the 17x9" +45....or any other lower offset.

they faces/look of the wheel are all the same from 17x9...the only thing that changes is offset/backspacing.

shutout809 · Sep 25, 2009, 05:04 PM

that sucks... oh well it was a nice thought

I also thought the same , it would be how wide the rim is , thanks for the great info!

heres a link i found a while back for konig renegades, not what you were looking for but a good deal i thought ide post up http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/specials/16-SPECIALS.html

9 inch width would rub like crazy in the fronts, I had 15x7 and my azenis have about a 1/4 " gap at full lock

Demon_ni2 · Sep 27, 2009, 07:06 PM

^^ thats gunna depend on the offset of those rims though 03lanceres.. if u space them out with a lower offset(like 0-20 offset), then u will have outside rub. with rolled fenders or widened fenders they will accomidate a 9inch wheel on our cars with 255 even 265s but thats only on a low offset wheel. the wider u go, the lower the offset u need to go also, inside rubbing and clearance issues cant be corrected easy, but flared fenders, even custom wide fenders can be accomplished rather easilly(its called DIY)

(i will have 255 or 265/45/17s or 18s on my car by the end of the year, will have to customize the body to make room) (bondo,filler, and fiberglass, lots of sanding and a fresh coat of paint. to make room for wider tires.. all worth it) (mine actually for fitting wide slicks up front, and im matching some street tires so it doesnt look retarded on the street with huge pocketed fenders..)
