Default Enkei RPF 1's on my AP2

i can either get the 17x7 or 17x7.5 +48mm offset upp front and 17x8 +48mm offset in the rear,
-For the 17x7 will i need to roll my fenders to fit it or will it look good, i have a stock ride height? (same with rear)?
also i want to drop the car about an inch, Will i still clear the rims and tires with no rubbing?
Any info will be great
also if u have any pics of these wheels in any color on your car can u post it?

those are some weak sauce widths. If your going to dish out the money for rpf1's you might as well get a more agressive width than stock.

And to answere your question you wont rub with this set up on stock hight and im allmost possitive you wont rub with a 1inch drop.

go on s2ki... they sell 17x8 17x9 +45 offset rpf1's for about $1k

get those, then roll your fenders

otherwise, those skinny wheels wont need any rolling to fit

thats what i have. find j's racing. he usually has the best pricing on the rpf1's. i got mine for $850 shipped a while back for the 17x8+45/17x9+45. im dropped on espelirs ( i think its about 1.5" drop) running -1/-2 camber and had to roll my fenders. i still rub on really bad dips in the road (but not bumps)

Would i be fine with a 1" drop and not have to roll my fenders with those sizes?

You will have to roll your fenders with the 8x9+45 sizes unless you are within about 1/2" of stock height, depending on your tires of course.

I agree with the others: those are weaker widths.... I picked up a set of RPF1's from gruppe-s off of s2ki and I ran 17x8 +45 up front and 17X9 +45 in the rear.... stock height, no, you wont rub, and I dont THINK you will with just a 1" drop..... I rubbed quite a bit with almost a 2" drop.

I think he is refering to J's Racing as the poster over on S2Ki. They are actually GTmotoring. But the site may not reflect the discount or price that you might be able to get through S2Ki.

Not sure really how low I am. I am using Bilstein PSS9 coilovers. I have maybe a finger or two width between the tire and fender. Yes, I am running a non staggered setup. That is the tire size all around.
