Depends on which wheel you're referring to. They come in 7.5 - 10" width.

they are 5 lug universal
and of course pictures.
I was able to dig up the following from an older online posting for a similar wheel sale (same model) :
Offset: +45
Bolt pattern: 5x112 & 5x114.3

I assume that means that the offset is the same on both the front and rear wheels and +45 seems high to me...

Can someone that knows more about wheels chime in on what you think?
My main concern is that they'll be even more recessed in the rear wheel well than the oem touring v1 wheels are, with such a high offset, which I do not want. Then again, I don't know near enough about wheels...

7.5 is also a bit thin, I think, but did I mention that its a great price?
Ideally I'd pick up a decent used set of lightweight works for under 2k but I don't have that to play with right now and these seem like they could keep me happy until spring.

Thanks in advance!

They could work - likely with a spacer - as winter wheels. Or, if they are a steal and you're willing to invest in some good spacers - they can work with some chubby tires. The sizes are not ideal, but some Zs do come stock with 17x7.5 front and 17x8 rear wheels.



If you want a cheap set of nice wheels, I do have a set of OEM chrome wheel (premium option) with tires.

OP....youre an idiot noob. You have been on here for less than a month and are already overposting. I have seen your post/name pop up in the last week. Welcome to my ignore list.
The OP was simply asking a question. And as for the OP overposting!? Who the hell cares...You don't have to read his posts, and if he's on your "ignore list" why are you even posting on his thread in the first place??

It's *** holes like you and S671 that makes people refrain from using forums in the first place especially when they're just asking a simple question. Go be a dick on some other forum...

Did you put the wider tires in front? Rears look narrow and stretched.

Reminds me of the late 90s supertouring look that everyone wanted. Too many skinny spokes.

Default best size rfp1s???

hey guys im pretty new to this forum and ive done alot of reading but well here goes my question..winter is coming up so im saving up to get a set of 18' rfp1 wheels....i have tokico d specs and the tokico red springs not installed in the car yet but i will most likely install them after the winter is done, all the offset options are confusing me so what are some aggresive specs i can go with after lowering the car (about 1 inch drop in the front and 1.5 inch in the rear) please recommend wheels size and offset and also tire size
i will most likely not track the car more than twice a year
thanks guy

What offset is available in that width with out bolt pattern ?

BTW a rolled rear is about a 15 to 20mm difference in offset, you need a roll.
