Pic Request: Enkei Rp01 17" FD

I need a picture of Enkei Rp01 17 inch ones. All the pictures i found were 18 inch. I just want to see how different is it with 17 inches etc.

Thanks

Because of the thin, 5-spoke design, RPo1's generally look like they are a size up from what they are... 17's look like most 18's, 18's like 19's. Check out picks of Rynberg's car, and you'd swear he has 19's.... so its a nice wheel that way... if you have to have 17's, they should be on the top of your list if you can locate a set.

I already bought a set. Just waiting for them to arrive.

What size tires will i need. Right now i have 245/45/16 on stock rims. I know i'll go with 245/17 but should i go with 40 or 45 the middle number? I don't know if it will be too high, i want it to look kind of like the ones i have now. not too much tire

245/40/17.

What width are the wheels, BTW?

17x8 and x9 I think. Why not go with 45's ? How low will it look with 40's?

Because w/ 245/45/17 you'll increase overall diameter over stock by almost 1" and you'll rub.

With 40 series tires, you'll have a thinner sidewall on the wheel.
