Question on RPF1's

well I just got offered some enkei rpf1's locally for $500 this are practically new only 2 months old and absolutely no scratches nor curb damages, well the question is I have a 93 rx-7. The wheels were on a 05 honda s2000 this are the measures...

17x7.5 48 offset front
17x8 45 offset rear

so the questions is would this wheel look good on my rx7? or would they look to be like tucked in??

You would be downgrading from stock in my opinion... Offsets would fit though..

RPF1s are great wheels, but not in those widths and offsets.

Instead of creating another thread, I thought that maybe I'd post my RPF1 fitment question in here.

How would the fitment be like with 17x9.5 +35's all around?

I plan on purchasing 255/45/17 tires all around, would I need to roll my fenders or will this work properly with the stock setup? I have a 1993 R1 w/ R1 springs and Koni dampers currently.

If these are in great condition, then this is a great deal. I have the same size and offset and they fit perfect.

My FD is at 25 inch ride height.

Race tires are Kumho 285/30/18 on Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 with 38mm offset.

Fenders are rolled, but other than that, no problems.
