I'm getting them from autotechnik. I just looked up the sizes on the enkei site and ask them to bring them in. The design is slightly different depending on the width of the rim, the 9"+ rims are the ones with the really flat face.

@Stance86 meaning to ask you? do you get any rubbing on your front tires when you go through bumps, etc? seems there's little clearance between your front tires and the fenders.

Width of tire has nothing to do with 'speed or acceleration'

Weight yes, width no...

Width does matter. It is basic physics . grip = friction plus additional weight.

I say this because it effects bikes, why not cars? I want wider rims but I sorry about 9-9.5 being too wide. Plus you have to worry about scrubbing and clearances.

The car doesn't feel any slower in a straight line... it's always been slow and still is. The car does have too much grip now and isnt as playful as it used to be. The VSC seems to be more intrusive though which is interesting.. cuts in now just going around corners fast...

I repeat there is no rubbing or scrubbing at all. So whats to worry about?

Thats right, it's a custom order. They are not on the size chart.

It doesn't scrape or rub.

Talking Enkei RPF1 SBC finishing

Hey fellas just wanted to share my frs with you guys

just wanted to say thanks to @FT-86 SpeedFactory for getting me these !

Current set up:

Enkei RPF1 SBC finishing
18x9.5 +38 all around with Falken Ziex 512 tires 225/40/18

*on a side note i didnt have to roll fenders at all *

Enjoy

Side shot 1:


Side shot 2:


Rear Shot:


Overview of the front:


Update:

The pictures above was when i had tein coilovers with shorter springs installed in the front.. had a drop of 3inch -front and 2.5- rear

Recently Installed BC Coilovers w. the Extreme Drop kit.

Front fenders were slightly pulled, fender linings were cut. Still can go lower in the front. I have all 3 lock rings in the front and took 1 lock ring out in the rear.
