Default track wheels

Folks, I'm looking to pick up a set of track wheels for the 370. I want to be able to rotate the stires as well, so a square setup is what I'm looking for.

Snooping around on tirerack and other sites I've found that the Enkei RP03 comes in a 19x9.5 +42 and a 19x9.5 +42. Theoretically I could pick up four 18x9.5 +22s and run a 20mm spacer on the front with ARP 3" studs so that I could still rotate my tires at the track.

Anyone have thoughts as to a reason this wouldn't work?

Granted it is not a low offset roller set like many are waiting on, but I need the high offset to clear the fenders under full suspension compression.

Thanx

Hey Man,

I had a set of Enkei's that were an offset of 45mm and I was less than an a credit card from the part that attaches to the a arm and the hub. I had 17 X 8 with 245/45/17 tires so I am not sure if the problem gets better or worse with taller wheels. I understand that you are looking at a 42mm vs my 45 but that does not seem like much of a difference.

Look at Part # 9 (front axle) where the cotter pin goes in. That is where mine was about to rub.

Regards,

Cory

What size tires do you want to end up running? 285/30/18? Do you have the Sport package?

If you are set on the RP03, I would opt for the 18x9.5 +38s and run them with hubcentric spacers to increase track. The RPF1 is a little lighter, but also comes in an 18x10 +38 which would work even better, and would allow for a larger tire at some point if you'd choose to.
