Is anyone running Enkei RPF1 17x9,9.5,10
I need to up grade my rear wheels and tires. I am currently running 17x8, 225 front and 235 rear. My FD also has RB springs so it sits low. I need more rubber on the ground in the rear and hoping I can use the 17x10 but do not know if it is going to work.
Is anyone running these sizes on the rear?
17x10 18 offset
17x9.5 38 offset
17x9 35 offset
Pics would also be great.
Thanks,
Joe

17x10 +18 will not fit.
The other sizes and offsets will work for the rear.

If you search there are many other pictures (and threads) out there floating around.... RPF1s are pretty common on FDs.
Depending on how wide you want to go, you'll need coilovers and aftermarket rear trailing arms.

My set up in front is fine, I just worried about the back. I want to go as wide as i can, but am worried that with the lowers suspension it may rub the fenders. thanks for your help.

I have the 17x9 + 45.
And the color is Gold because that is what was available.
I bought these locally at Discount Tire and I was looking at the Enkei wheel list there - fairly sure we saw that 17x9.5 +45 would be available in Black, but on 6 week back order.
IAC I just needed some wheels to put tires on.

Yes. My other set of race wheels is Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +38 with 285/30/18 Kumho V710 tires.
I have GC Coilover setup with 2.5" diameter springs and rolled fenders.
You may want to check the FD wheel/tire sizing spreadsheet to see if coilovers are required for this size, I can't recall.

nope not possible. That offset was never made in 9.5. only +38 and +15.
Also Black will never happen unless one of the distributors like myself orders 40 pieces of each part # at minimum.
That's how I got special colors made but due to slow movement did not opt to do them again. You will likely see special colors in these fitments:
350Z
Subaru
EVO
That's what distributors can bank on. Definitely not the FD market like me. lolz.....

I ordered 17X9 - 35 offset with 275/40ZR17 Toyo R1R's. They look great but are to big. With weight in the car they will rub.
If you are running Racing Beat springs DO NOT use this set up! 255/40ZR17 are the max.
Hope this helps the next guy.

Racing Beat springs are known to be too low for a lot of setups and too soft for keeping the suspension from compressing on tight fits. You can fix your problem by getting coilovers. Also, good idea to roll the front fenders. I had to roll mine because of the need for a spacer for BBK clearance.

Good news is someone will get a very good deal on some R1R's soon.
