Question Guys need your help choosing the wheel!!!!!

Hi guys,

I'm in the market of looking for the wheel for my FD. I did my research in the forum. But the more I researched, the more I got lost. So I need your advise on choosing the wheels that meet these requirements:

-as lightweight as possible
-hoping to run 285/30/18 all around
-I have Shineautoproject's FEED +25mm front fender
-I will roll & pull my rear fender so rear lip clearance should not be a big problem

I've been looking at Enkei RPF1s with 18x9.5+45, 18x10+38 and 18x10.5+15, but I couldn't find anyone who run the same setup like me (FEED front fender + 285/30/18 all around). Experts please chime in and share pics!

Many thanks!

Mike

If you want the ultimate set up and should fit pretty flush with your set up.

18x10.5 NT03 Send to Weldcraft wheels to widen them 1" inward. Wheels end up 18x11.5". Run a 295/30/18 tire, Probably a AD08R.

This is the best handling/tire combo for street if you want to go all in. It also doesn't cost all that much.

Otherwise if you want to go with 285/30/18, I recommend a 18x11 wheel, Forgestar with custom offsets, probably a +30 would do with those fenders.

Enkei RS5RR 18x10.5 +35 would do well with a 285/30/18. Another wheel coming out soon is the Volk TE37 double black which is a 18x11 +35.
