The car already has a wider track in the rear, one of the things on my to-do list is to swap spacers around and see if it noticeably affects handling, I'm certainly happy I can rotate front to rear to help even out the wear. But hey if it's just for looks then you do you. |

Ok so your saying the 17x9 +45 sits too close inside I don't want to rub. Wanted to go with staggered offsets so I wouldn't need spacers in the rear to be flush since there seems to be about a 5-10mm difference in flushness front to rear. Semi doing for looks but more a trackable DD setup that is grippier than my current 17x8 +40 konig hypergrams that sits a bit more flush without spacers. Maybe now considering 17x9 +40 Konig Dekagrams. A little heavier at 17.3lbs but still not too bad. And slap some 5mm spacers on the rear Last edited by SuperTom; 10-10-2018 at 05:47 PM. |

I haven't tried it yet but changing wheel offsets does change handling, you may be trading performance for looks.

I bit the bullet and gambled on white RPF1's from Oakos. Wasn't sure how it'd turn out, but I think they look quite nice. 17x9 , 35 offset. Wrapped in Hankook V12 Evo2's ... 245/40
Now I just want to lower her a bit. |

That’s stock suspension then? I have a white BRZ and I really want some Enkei wheels. I was going for the Raijins as they’re more in my price range but I really want 17s. I like the more meaty tire and I’d like to keep the 17 inch wheel feel on the car. You’ve made me really consider my decision lol car looks great by the way

If you know anyone selling the discontinued size of 7x17 w48 offset in gun metal, give me a heads up. I've been wanting an RPF1 in the oem size badly. I don't want to be stuck with the 17x7.5 size if I can't find the oem size around.
