Enkei RPF1 Wheel 17x7.0 +48 fit with 10mm spacers?
I was thinking of purchasing Enkei RPF1 in 17x7 5x114.3 and putting on drag slicks. The offset the wheels is +48. I already have a set of 10mm spacers. That would make it +38. Would it still clear my Brembo brakes?

May I ask why you plan on running narrower wheels than stock? Doesn't make sense unless these are meant for winter/snow use.

Most likely for motorcycle slicks or something similar..

It should fit as it would be the OEM offset. But spoke design plays a little into it when clearing the brake caliper. I don't think anyone here will have personal experience with this wheel because of the size though.
