Default Enkei RPF1 + Falken Azenis RT-615 (205-50-15)

This is what I am going to order and I have nothing but SUPER good things about these tires, But my questions is am I going to rub with this tire size? Im not going to be very low, probly rock a one finger wheel gap or so due to the outragously low I-M front crossmember I just put on... what do you guys think? also for the Enkei's... 35 or 41 mm offset?

They wont rub but if they do it can be remedied with a mild fender lip rolling. Get the +41s.

yes they are. what's better then that, the RE 01R. and supposedly the new dunlop sport z1 are even better. but for the price nothing can really beat the falkens.

+1 on the RE01Rs being an all-around better tire. They have the same contact patch, but come in 195/50, so the diameter isnt so large... less chance of rubbing, more aggressive gearing.

Is there any reason why you guys recommend the +41? Ive seen alot of guys use the 35mm. What would make the +41 better?

+41 are lighter than the +35.

I'd be careful with using them for daily driving. I decided to drive them home from an event and a pot hole took out one wheel. Very light and soft wheels despite their MAT techology. When they are bent, they are not made to be repaired either.

I've got a set of RPF1's w/ Neogens 205/50/15 and I had to roll the fender lip a little but, but nothing major.

oh yea, i have +41's too. you shouldn't have a problem. i'm sitting @ a drop sumwhere between 2-3 inches.

I have only had very slight rubbing issues on the rear of my CRX, How ever on my ED Hatch I am having more of a rubbing problem in the front. A very mild roll in the front world take care of this though. Here's a few pics for you too.

Looks fantastic import2nr88!

Heres some RPF-**** from me:



EFstyle, if and how much rubbing will depend on your alignment specs. Rolling the inner fender lips is super easy to do, just do a quick search for a how-to here on Honda-Tech.

And post some pics
