Enkei RSF2 17x8(f) & 17x9(r) for Turbo II
i'm looking into buy wheels n tires in a wk or so. i've got my mind set on Enkei RSF2s in 17x8 w/ Nitto NT555 225/40ZR in front and 17x9 w/ Nitto NT555 255/40ZR in the back.. now my question is can i just mount them on my car when i get it? or do i need to get different offset or spacers? i have stock suspension at the moment... any info would be appreciated...
E
ps- does anyone know how much these wheels weigh?

Depending on your functionality I would have to agree with Manny on this as well. What's new? hehe. Manny takes the words out of my mouth before I even open it.
I can get you the RP01's for a killer deal in 17,8 and 17,9 for your FC or even an 18,9.5 in the rear if you're interested.
I actually have one set in stock right now and they are for $685.00 shipped. That includes lugnuts and huncentric rings. The wheels are almost gone so I suggest jumping on them.
If you're still interested in the other ones I can save you money on those as well.
I know you are stuck with the NT's because of the 225/40/17 that they offer, but I would run a different tire if it's feesable. I am currenly using the NT555's on my three piecers right now, but only for street and no performance driving at all. They are noisy, due to contact patch/tread design, and a very hard compound/not sticky at all.
**** if you could fit a 235/40 up front then I would suggest the AVS Intermediates or the A520's. Those are in the same ballpark as the Nittos and twice the tire.
The desirable offset ranges for you are: Diameter is arbitrary, offset is dependent on the width of the wheel.
8" width front: +35 to +40, for ideal fitment w/ 225
9" width rear: +35 to +38, for ideal fitment with 255/40.
The RP01's are both +38's front and rear.

Richie- Enkei RP01?
k, i've received words that enkei rsf2 only come in 7" width.. so there goes the whole plan... richie, i think i spoke to you couple of months back about those RP01s... i didnt have the $$$ then, but i do now, i've contacted couple of wheel places, n it seems like i cant find the rsf2 in the width i want... do they even exist? if they do, what kind of prices am i looking at? in worst case scenario, i'll go with the RP01
i'm more of a go then show, so i think i can settle on the RP01, n they are light, right? k, you got my ears on the 18x9.5 in the rear... do you offer the tires you recommend (A520) along with the wheels? mounted and balanced? i wanna have my wheels on before my classes begin next week, so i'm trying to have the wheels shipped before this weekend. so the $685 refers to 17x8 n 18x9.5, right? also, i think you told me i can have the RP01s powdercoated couple of months back, do you still do that? anyways, any info will be appreciated, i'll go ahead PM u also... thanks alot

Looks like I'm selling my set, so I'll have to get one of the guys who bought a set post it. We ran a 255/40 in the back. It was perfect.

If you want inexpensive and good rain, get the Dunlop SP9000. Will last a long time as well. That's what I put on the lady's s/c miata for the winter. 225/40/16 all around. Perfect fit too.
