Anyone using Enkei OR-52 wheels?

I'm looking at a set of Enkei OR-52 wheels on ebay. Does anyone else have these on their FC? or pictures of them on an FC? (preferrably a grey car)

I know they'll fit, because the specs are all the same as the tII wheels I have now except a .2 difference in the offset, and the Enkeis are 1 inch larger in diameter. I just want to see what they could look like on my car.

I dunno how much they are going for on Ebay, but edgeracing.com is selling them for $79 a piece for 16x7 (I'm guessing the size you're looking at). Clearance deal. They do it with Enkeis from time to time.

I was thinking of getting those but got a sweet deal on a set of 05 STi rims instead.

All right- another question for you. This has to deal more with wheel fitment. Will this set-up work?

Front: 17x7 38 offset
Rear: 18x7.5 38 offset

My only concern is whether the inside of the rear will rub. I believe it will be fine, but want a few more opinions before I buy wheels.

Oh, and HotRodMex- Thanks for the info. I was actually looking at buying them from Edge Racing on eBay for like $4 less per wheel, but realized that I could get some wider wheels for the rear by buying them off their website, thanks to you.

I've got a set of Enkei RPM2 wheels on my car.
I've also got a set of Stance coilovers on there, so I don't know if this will clear the stock struts and springs.. but these fit on my FC, they're close to the rear control arms but I can still get a finger between the tire and control arm.

17x8 in the front, 35 offset, tires 225/45R17
17x9 in the back, 40 offset, tires 255/40R17

Those tires add about an inch to the final width, so it's closer to
17x9 in the front
17x10 in the back

FC3Spro.com has charts for basic guidelines:

That's great, daten. That tells me exactly what I need to know.

Thank you very much!
