I'm getting a set of Eneki Rpf1's soon and I dont know if I got the right offset for the look I'm going for. I have a 97 Ek with a 99-00 front end. The wheel is 16x7 +43. I dont know if the offset will allow me to tuck the wheels under my fenders like I want. Trust me I've been searching, I've even asked around. The guy that is selling me the wheels even searched and we are kinda stuck. Please help H-T. LOL. Thanks

up

 

a +45mm would be awesome for tucking 16's

tho a +43mm might be close but im not sure.
i have a +40 on the 15's with 195 tires and they tuck good enough for me.

 

up for more suggestions

 

how bout rolling the fenders?

 

with a +43 in a 7" wide wheel it's not gonna tuck. If you want to tuck a 7, I wouldn't do anything lower than a +45....a +48 would be perfect. Make sure you do a 205-40-16 though, you do a 205-45 and you'll rub everywhere.

 

here's my old 16 x 7 43mm rp-f1s in 205 x 45 x 16 tires. i never chose to ride slammed so i'm not sure how cleanly they would have tucked.

here are some pics in various angles for you to determin for yourself.

 

Well I was going to run parada too 205/40/16 and that should work. And yeah it looks like your camber is almost set to zero???? let me know?

 

camber is stock, never adjusted.

 

Damn so do you think that I would have to roll my fenders, or even have to get a camber kit to get the look I want?

 

i really don't think you need to roll the fenders, try lowering it as much as you can first and see how that works.

if all else fails, pull the fender liners out and as a last resort, roll the fenders.

 

They'll tuck. Just dump it.

 

The splash guard is already out, I guess I just have to wait and see....

 

Have you already ordered the wheels? If not, then why do you want the 43 so bad?

 

No I haven't ordered them, but i'm get them from a H-T memeber....

 

Don't buy em then, the 43's won't give you what you want. Wait and save another month or so and buy the correct size, you'll be glad you did in the end

 

41, and 43 are the offset that are offered I would think that the 43 is best?

Well this is the email I recieved from evasive?

Hello I was interested in ordering a set of enkei rpf1's 16x7 from
you guys but my question is what is the best offset for my car, I have a
97 Ek and the look I was going for is pretty aggressive. I want to tuck the
wheel under the fender, I'm thinking about lowering the car 3-3.25
inches. Thanks....

Hi Montre,

They only come with offset 43 in that size. That should be a perfect
fit if you're lowering your car that much.

Wow, I guess I just assumed that they would've built a wheel higher than 43...thats odd. Well, then get the 43's haha
