Default really want some Enkei RPF1's but some questions first



those are just sex, and under 10lbs each for 15's


anyway have a question about offset on them. i will be running ITR brake calipers and 11" rotors. think i want to use these as my track wheels and mount some BFG drag radials on them, so ill run 15" wheels. they make two different offsets et35 and et41. are either of those gonna clear my brakes? and stick out from the fenders or anything.

also thinking about just getting them in 16" instead and have them for my daily wheels, since they look so nice and just mount my drag radials on something else? i only see those listed as an et43. will i have a problem with those over R calipers?


oh yeah the car is a 95 Civic hatch 4x100 pattern

shouldn't have any problems.. but you can go to discout tire or america's tire i think in oregan and they can call enkei and let you no which offset will work right for your application...offset will come into play because of the oversize caliper.. if it was stock brakes all those offsets would have worked

just go to the shop or did the company that sold you the wheels give you like a diagram on a piece of paper so that the tire shop could verify that those particular wheels would fit.. or like i said if you go to a tire shop that sell's those wheels they can call and verify fitment for you... most wheels company's have that info handy

They will not fit over 11" brakes. They just fit over my 10.2" setup.

thats still a lot of room. you ever seen the gap for like a 04-05 Sable? you can barely slide a piece of paper in there. looks like you have about .5" there, that should be good for 11's. still thinking about the wheels either way, i might just buy some Si's and run those, i know that 11's will fit behind those.

What if you ran a 43 offset, and ran spacers?

That's the 41mm offset in my pics, I didn't know they made a 43. I don't see itr fitting anyway possible unless you run a 1"+ spacer.
