Tires do look a little wide on those tires, but only because you mentioned it really. I didnt think that the first time I looked at it. I love me some RPF1's and only wish I had just bought a pair of those rather then spending money elsewhere.

Those ARE amazing looking wheels, tho.. seriously, the RPF1s are one of my fav and IMO best looking wheels out there for the Z. Not to mention the weight aspect.. I was thinking about getting some Ruffs, but they are out of stock everywhere on the 18s.. now... not so sure. Might just have to dish out the extra $$ for the enkeis... IFF I can get the cash! Hmmm... SBC or silver on a SB Z, tho? Both look sick IMO! Beautiful wheels!

yes the TPMS fit and work great! no problems at all. where you run into issues is with two piece wheels. im thinking about selling my enkei's because i just ran into a deal on the wheels i really wanted in the first place. if not for that i wouldnt think about changing. enkei wheels rock!

The 18x8.5 inch RPF1 weighs 19.0 lbs. Thats respectable if you are interested in performance.

..I almost bought some Work Emotion CR KAIs.. but sale fell through. They never shipped out of Japan for some reason.

..then I was gonna try to save a few bucks ..and buy some Ruff 278s.. they were out of the 18" staggered +20 setups.

Now, I'm beginning to think "Enkei" fate has gotten me or something ..lol. I was looking at these wheels initially before all of this nonsense.. and am now considering them once again.

Any RPF1's FTW. Nice looking rim, and they are pretty light weight. Go RPF1's Go!

Hi Guys, I'm seriously considering this set up:

18x8.5 +30 with 245/45/18
18x9.5 +38 with 275/40/18

I'm not an expert on offsets, so I need yalls help on this...

1. I'm not planning to lower the car would I need spacers at all?

See my corrections below:

18x8.5 +30 with 245/40/18 <<< You'll need a 10mm spacer
18x9.5 +38 with 275/40/18 <<< You'll need a 20mm spacer

If you don't want to use any spacers, then I suggest you go with an offset in the high tens to low twenties. Otherwise, your setup will be tucked in.

Definitely post some pictures! ... are you sure they aren't 9.5 and 10? I thought enkei only made a 19x9.5 and a 19x10, what are the offsets? +22? SBC or silver?
