Enkei RPF1 Setup ...Will this work?
Hi Guys/Girls
I was wanting to go with this setup potentially, I just want to make sure I dont scrub/rub and cut up tires. What Tire Sizes do you reccommend? Some people say 285/35/18 would rub in the rear, what do you suggest for front and rear tire setups. I'm not lowered but plan on going with BC racing coilovers slightly lowered with a raked setup.
Front
Offset: 30mm Backspacing: 5.86" Bolt Pattern: 5-114
18x8.5
Rear
Offset: 15mm Backspacing: 6.29" Bolt Pattern: 5-114
18x10.5
Weight: 19.7lbs.

What are your plans? Do you want to maximize tire fitment (as in, fit the most tire without concern for having a low offset)?
Most would recommend:
1. Upgrade to 18x9.5 +15 front (I run this front, perfect for a street wheel in my opinion)
2. Tire size options:
For a more stretched look:
255/35/18 Front
275/35/18 Rear
For a beefier look:
265/35/18
285/35/18 (this shouldn't rub, but if you get a tire that runs wide there is a chance)

Normal fitment with light stretch would be a 255 or 245/40 front and 275/40 for the rear. With extra camber for the beefy look 275/35f and 295/35r can be used. If you want the stretched look with tires that are way to short for the car and look lame , get the 255/35 275/35 combo.
Edit, that's with the proper 9.5 front wheel , if you want to run the 8.5 front , you should get the 9.5 for the rear.
