I plan on getting Enkei RPF1's in
17x9 +35 front, 17x10 +18 rear
with 215/40/17 front, 245/40/17 rear
i plan on rolling the rear fenders but will i need to pull them also?
will they rub in front or back?

btw, im running tokico blues and ground control coilovers if that helps.

 

Fronts are going to need a 1/2 spacer, a roll, and maybe a little camber.

Rears are going to need a roll and pull.

 

Only 1/2 a spacer? I'd reccomend using the whole spacer.

 

woops, hehe... I ment a 1/2" spacer.

 

i wanted run a lower offset up front, but thats the lowest Enkei makes in that width.
thanks tho. much appreciated.

 

best reliable and better looking tire sizes for my new rims?? i just want feed back because im thinking to hard on this

(sport max 962's)

front 17 x 7 +38

rears 17 x 9 + 35

getting coilovers sometime next week but if anything the car has about a 2" drop front and back because of the intrax springs, and of course tokico illuminas in the front and hp "blues" in the back. note i have a set of front camber plates if needed in case i lose the coilovers

 

You should really try to get at least a 17x8 in the front, it'll better match the rear for more balanced handling. With wheels like that, assuming tires that actually fit the rims, it'll have loads of understeer.

225/45/17 and 245/40/17 on those rims I'd say, probably with a spacer up front, 1/4" should be sufficient.

 

17x9+20, 17x10+20. 235s all around. -4 deg camber front, -3 deg camber rear. Fitment is OK, but a bit sunk- it tucks about half of the tire front and rear.

Handles like an Enzo yo! Scrub radius! Bump steer! Roll center!



CJ, your car is rousing.

 

i know.

 

Question about what size tires I should get. Stock Suspension. I'd like to run the same size all around.

16x7 +25mm - Front
16x8 +35mm - Rear

I was thinking 235/50.

 

You can't just make up tire sizes and expect them to exist. Do some research, I don't think I've ever come across that size, and Tire Rack doesn't have anything in that size, so you'll have little to no selection.

225/50/16 is a reasonably common size that'll work.

 

All around or just for the front or rear?

 

Whats would be a good fitment offset for

18x9.5 rear
18x8 front

what tires would you recommend on these


the car had spring and shock setup but i opted for coilovers , wich i am waiting for next month,

so ihave stockers back on and cut, i also have stock body i will be rolling the fenders too

 

17 x 7 + 38 Front
17 x 9 + 35 Rear

It's on KYB AGX's w/ stock springs currently but I will be getting the Racing Beat springs in a few weeks.

How bad will the understeer be for daily driving? I'm not a drifter or race car driver here...I just want to cruise around with some nicer wheels than the stockers.

And will the spacer in the front definitely be needed?

Thanks so much for your help, I appreciate any input on this.

 

^^
I was looking on tire rack and it came up with these, am I even in the ball park here.

17 x 7 with 215/45-17
17 x 9 with 255/40-17

I was probably going to go with Kumho as I have had good results with them before.

Thanks a lot, also I would still like info on how bad the understeer will be running the 17 x 7's up front.

 

If you can get 8's, get 8's, otherwise go with a 225/245 combination to minimize understeer.

 

Probably 235/255 for that setup.

 

That's the exact setup that's just above. I'd go to a 225 in the front and a 245 in the rear to try and minimize the understeer, but you'd be better off with at least an 8" wheel in front. Especially with a 215 and 255 it'll understeer like a pig.

 

Wonder what it would take to fit a 245 up from on a 8.5" rim? offset, spacers?

+25 and overfenders?

 

My wheels are Rays Ce28. My tires are Michelin Semislicks Sport Cup

235-35-19 8x19" Et25
265-30-19 9,5x19" Et0 with 25mm Spacer each side....

 

I've seen pics of a 245/40/17 on a 17x8 30mm offset wheel fitting up front with AGX's and GC coilovers on rolled fenders.

 

Well, unfortunately I bought the rims before I knew about the understeer, I saw pics of the setup and I couldn't resist the offer. So I'm stuck with 17 x 7 upfront.

I will go with the 225/245 combination to minimize understeer.

Is the spacer needed to clear the suspension or is it just to get a flush fitment?

I really appreciate the help guys!!! Thanks so much.

 

With that rim you're probably ok without a spacer, but a small one might be required to clear the strut/spring.

 

ok, thanks a lot guys. I'll post a pic of the car with the wheels soon.

These are the rims if any one cares:

 

^^^^ I care they look good, lets see some picture
