Enkei RPM2
Trying to get some input on this combo, and whether or not it's even doable. I want to put a set of 17x9.5 Enkei RPM2s on all the way around, and run 275/40/17s on all 4 corners. I was looking at the Yokohama AVS ES100 tires, Z rated. My FD has Tanabe Sustec Super-H Springs which provide around a 1.5" drop.
Any forsee any problems with this setup? Or any fitment issues? Anyone have any input on the RPM2s or the Yokohamas? Thanks.
The full package will run $1484 shipped.

I won't let go
Can you run a 275 on those? I'm running 8.5/9.5 f/r with 235/45 and 255/40 nitto 555s. With Tein RA's and dropped about 2" I had some rubbing issues. Bad ones. It's ok now. So long as I don't take a bump on a turn. The rears are fine, though I don’t know about that size. Hell, of you can, do it. Maybe I’ll put some bigger meat on there after all….

You might have trouble w/ a 9.5" +40 and a 275 tire. Thats a tall, wide tire. Most folks running that size will do it on modular wheels, 10" wide w/ offsets around +50 to +52 (requiring coilovers)...
However, a 275 will fit on any rim from 9-11" generally... so it'll be OK on the back.
