Cool same here, but I’ll probably do coilovers at the same time even though roads here suuuuuck lol Fitment Industries is such a great resource. Both their website and YouTube channel provide excellent information for anyone looking to buy wheels for the first time.

I'm pretty set on Enkei RPF1s, thinking of going 18x8 + 35 on all four wheels. How well will this line up with the front and rear fenders?



Most of the pictures I'm coming across are for 9.5s +35/38...

Hey guys.. i'm looking at picking up these wheels in

18x9.5 they come in a +35 offset.

Stock suspension. Will they fit? Flush look? Will i be able to throw on coilovers down the road and lower it at all?

It will fit fine. Just keep in mind the front will have a little poke, but the back should be pretty much flush with the fender. Check out the second page on this thread to see the fitment. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=20872&page=2

Those are pretty wide for stock suspension. It will fit on stock with a 235/40/18 tire in the front the rear is not going to be an issue. Yes, you will be able to run this size with coilovers, ideally get the coilovers first if you can. With coilovers you can get a tire size of 245/35/18 or 255/35/18.

This thread should help you out. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show....php?p=3097900. Even though its a +38 offset it close enough to a +35.

Hello everyone, I am planning to pick up RPF1's in SBC in 17x9 +35 as that is the narrowest width they have in a 17" size.

I would like to keep the tire width as narrow as possible as I understand my car is quite under powered. I am thinking 235/45/17 or 235/40/17 or 245/40/17. I am unsure how the choices will affect the performance of the car, and I do know that the 235/45/17 will result in a the car sitting higher / more ground clearance.

Based on my understanding, a tire with a taller sidewall does not perform as well as a tire with a shorter sidewall in a motorsport setting. I am unsure what the pros and cons are of having a taller vs shorter sidewall. Does anyone have any insight on this?

I have done so much research and I'm still confused on something... will this combo rub on stock suspension?

18x8.5 +45 wheels with 245/35/18 tires?

It will fit fine. Just know you will be close to the spring perch though

Thank you! Would a different size tire be better or a different offset?

I would get +35 offset if its available. Then you could add camber bolts in the front and the back will sit flush.

245/35 will be square looking on the 8.5" wheel. I'm running 245/35 on 9" wide wheels and they are slightly stretched.

So as turned out where I live 245/40R17 are the most rare size tiers ever.

Does anyone know if I can fit 235/45R17 on stock car with Eibach pro kit lowering springs and front camber bolts? My wheels are 17×9 +38.

You can try ordering them from tirerack.com. Yes, 235/45/17 will fit fine with Pro-Kit and those wheels. You'll actually get a little more clearance and gain more camber since the 235/45 tire wont be as wide as the 245/40.

The problem is that I don't live in the US and international shipping is very expensive.

As long as the 235/45R17 will be good and won't fuck up the gearing much I guess I'll go with it.

Thanks.
