thinking of getting a set of 16x8 rpf1's +38 offset and running 225/50/16 tires.

anyone have any problems with this kind of set up?
rubbing wise?

 

dc5...should be no problem

ep3....you may need to roll the rear fenders with that offset.....some meg camber will help.

 

ya cause its alot bigger then the stock size... 16'' stock would be 205-50-16... but should work if you roll the fenders and get some camber going...

 

205's are great for eg's....ep/dc5's need more tire.

 

You would need to roll your fenders ...but how low are you dropped?

 

Why wouldn't they work? I think k20ep is runnin' 17x9's with 245's and he doesn't rub. I'm sure he's rolled but I think 225's are a reasonable fitment, especially with that offset. I mean don't quote me, but you catch my drift?

 

I still have no idea what car this is for.....its still hard to give a correct reply because not all 225's are created equil.....I had 452's that were 8.6 inchs wide, I now have some 225 XS's that are around 9.3 inchs wide....

If I was a betting man though, I would guess it is a ep3 though, those wheels sound like the ones that were made for miatas with 4x100 bolt patterns....

 

Yes sorry, for an ep3.

I think the 38 offset rpf1's are for the miata's aswell.

Car is lowereD 1.5 with teins wich are terriable. Way to soft.

Ive already ordered a set of eibach pro kits wich are only an inch.

Suspension travel is terrible up front so it needs to be stiffer and a little higher i think?

Car is going to be used for track days and im trying to stuff the biggest tire under me as possible.

And i dont mind rolling fenders, and i have the front camber kit for it.

Soooo i was hoping somebody had simular set up and could give me the green light.

Tires wont be cheap and dont want to return.
