Hey guys, I'm about to switch to a new wheel/tire setup on my S4 GXL, and I want to get about as much rubber as reasonably possible under the thing. I'm planning on rolling the fenders, and I'm open to running spacers if needed. All I really care about is getting the best handling possible out of this beast (without blowing through tires every six months.)

The setups I want to use is this:

Tires: Falken Azenis
Front: 235/40 r17
Rear: 255/40 r17

Wheels: Enkei RPF1s
Front: 17x8 +45 offset
Rear: 17x8.5 +30 or +40 offset

Apparently those offset are the only ones these wheels are available in. Can I make those offsets work, either with or without spacers? Also, I know those rims are wide enough for the tires to fit on all right; is there any reason I should consider any other size wheel?


Thanks in advance!

Also, I should mention I'll be on stock replacement suspension - Tokico blue shocks/struts, with Tein S-tech springs

tires=good
wheel fitment=poor http://www.enkei.com/size_chart/RPF1.pdf

rpf1 size chart says a 17x8 +35 is available which would be better with a +40 on the 8.5 in the back but tires may rub depending on your suspension. may need spacers to clear those wide tires in the back. search the suspension and tire forum. plenty of rpf1's fitted on fc's by now.

Thanks for the link to the chart! I didn't know that was available online. Good idea, I'll post there. Seems like traffic there is lighter, but I'm likely to get more worthwhile responses than I generally would in 2nd gen.
