Wheel Directory: Enkei RSF5 18x8.0 +45

Question is what offset is this wheel even available in? On the red they look way too tucked in...?

I'm just speculating here but seeings how no major vendors here selling them the offsets can't be all that great for our cars fitment wise.

Ahh ok I see now just limited widths available probably why not so popular.

Yeah, you can't do a staggered setup with these.
It would be nice if you could, but it's still a great looking wheel at $180 a piece.

I'm in love with the clean design of these wheels and I also think it's a plus that these wheels are not so popular.

Well squared in 18x8 in 40 or 45 offset and 17x7.5" exists in 40 offset but that's about your only squaring options.

What's wrong with 18x8 45 offset? Wouldn't that look good? I'm not to knowledgable about how offsets work so that's why I'm asking.

I see 8" is 1 inch wider than the stock wheel. And I think 45 offset is what TireRack chooses when you choose these wheels for a BRZ.

Will the wheels not be flush with the frame??

Stock height likely fine but lowered an inch plus it's gonna be likely pretty tucked in.

Wheel spacers would fix this, no?

I have spacers on my stock wheels. 20mm front, 25mm rear. These probably wouldn't work since the RSF5 is 8" wide, correct?

Sorry, I'm not understanding this. I used a Wheel Offset Calculator and this is what I got:
For Stock wheel I put: 7" wide, +48 Offset
For New wheel I put: 8" wide, +45 Offset
The Results were:
Inner Clearance: 10mm LESS
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 16mm.

What does that mean??

[m.box.design]

1" = 25.4mm

Divide 25.4mm by 2 = 12.7mm This is because, if we line up both wheels, the 8" wheel will be wider by 12.7mm on either side over the 7" wheel.

48 offset minus 45 offset = 3mm of offset
12.7mm + 3mm = 15.7mm, which is approximately 16mm, meaning the surface of the new wheel will stick out 16mm more than stock.

16mm = 0.63"

Thanks!
So, as far as Wheel Spacers go, since I'm using a 20mm for the front, instead I'd probably use a 5mm spacer for front?

And for the rear I could take my 25mm spacer and subtract the 16mm, so I'd need a 10mm roughly for the rear?

I'll be going from 20mm front, 25 rear TO 5mm front, 10mm rear? Does that sound about right?

yep, looks like it.

Sweet! Next question. Where do you recommend I get 5mm and 10mm spacers for BRZ/FRS? I checked B2 Auto and Eibach and neither site had them.

I remember B2 Auto telling me that the spacers I purchased for the stock rims would only work with aftermarket wheels if thay had the same hole or something like that. Not sure what they were talking about, but I won't be using their spacers anyways since they are too large.

Did some more digging around and found a good side shot of the wheels.
