Hey I have two RPF1s on my car. They are 15x7. I had four, but I smashed one on a rock (ouch) and another got stolen (double ouch.)

I need two RPF1s to replace the two I don't have anymore. I want wider than 7 inch for the fronts. It'd be nice If I could put my 15x7's on the back, and get some 15x8's or 15x9's on the front. Does Enkei make anything wider than 7inch in a 4x100 bolt pattern?

I can't find any on tirerack, but they are only showing the ones that are designed for my vehicle.

I want RPF1s in 15x8.5inch ideally. This would be sexy sheit.

ask them^

 

do me a flavor and ask them for me, I can't find an email address anywhere and I don't have a phone/cellphone. didn't pay my bill and cell shut off, damn lack of work nowadays...

here's the number - 1-800-875-3100 ----- it's toll-free so it won't cost anything :D

according to their catalog they only make 15" in 7" wide. They make a 16x8" but only in 38mm offset. I dunno if a 38mm offset would fit on my del sol vtec 94'. The rpf1s i have now are 41mm

that's from 2009 calendar, i'm wondering if they made different sizes for other years that aren't in the 09 catalog. anyone?

 

did some reading on offset. plz tell me if my reasoning is totally offbase or not....

1) if rims with 38mm offset were put onto a car meant for 41mm offset, that means the rim is 3mm inboard from where it should be. theoretically this shouldn't be a problem, if it were, the rim would rub on the frame from being 3mm in too far.

2) now if the rim was an inch wider than stock, it would stick in 1/2inch and out a 1/2inch more than stock. 1/2inch = 12.7mm ---- SO, add 3mm to this and the rim (1inch wider than stock) would be about 16mm in further than designed to be. 3mm probably wouldn't be an issue, but 16mm would definitely rub while turning.

3) SO, to put rims 1inch wider than stock with a 38mm offset instead of the stock 41mm offset on a car, the wheel must be spaced out from the hub an additional 16mm to prevent rubbing.

does this make sense or is my reasoning flawed?

now I have to figure out how to space my front wheels out 16mm so I can put rims an inch wider than stock on there. Wheel spacers, methinks - but now I've got to decide if those are worth it. Time to research wheel spacers...

Someone plz check my above math and tell me if it's correct or totally wrong. Thanks much.

 

hold on.... why do you want wider rims in the front then the back?
