Will Enkei RPF1 17x9 +35mm offset fit on evo? Does anyone have them on their car? Did you have to do anything special to get them to fit (spacers?)

Any pics of them?

Thanks,

Steve

 

yes do a search bc theres a big thread about a guy that jsut put some on his

 

can you send me the link ? thx.

 

heres one but its for the 17x8 https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...highlight=rpf1

 

Yeah I'm interested in 17x9... but thanks anyways.

 

The 17x9 rpf1 will not clear the front calipers.

 

why wont the 17x9 clear and the 17x8 will clear is it the offset that they offer , I want the 17x9 rpf1

 

it's something in the design of the spokes that prevents the clearance on the calipers. I guess with the extra rim width, you need bigger spokes to compensate

 

17x8.5 fits as well, and is the recommended size. The 9 won't fit without a spacer

 

The 9" was designed for a RWD application and they wanted a deeper dish look and moved the spoke in...

 

But it only has trouble with front wheels?... I would assume all 4 wont fit?
How big of a spacer would it need to clear the brakes?

 

seems like it should fit in the back because the brakes in the back are smaller... but I haven't tested it... Neal@tirerack would be a good person to check with

 

Oh ya.. silly me..

 

back from the dead

anyone know how large of a front spacer is required to run these? I found a great deal on a set and dont mind running spacers if they arent too large and requre stud-extensions

 

well that depends on if its the fwd or rwd version
I have 17x9.5s et 38mm in the rwd version with a nice 1-2 inch lip
never measured it
the rear fits perfect
the fronts need a 20mm spacer
if its the flat faced version
it should fit fine
my rims are a bit dished i guess
the face sits inwards quite a bit and not flush with the lip
