Default enkei rpf-1 in 17x8/17x9 +45

some said it would not fit without fender roll, well, it fits and looks good. i think i can even drop an inch before rolling the rear. next up, a small drop and a lip.

comparison of stock vs. enkei rpf-1:

front stock rim w/tire-41 lbs.
front enkei w/falken-36 lbs.

rear stock rim w/tire-48 lbs.
rear enkei w/falken-41 lbs.

What width tires? If you are running 225/45/17 and 245/40/17 or wider you will rub when you lower it. even with -2.0 degrees of camber in the rear. But it only rubs when you hit large, sharp bumps. I have swift springs, it's only 1.0 inches in the front and .7 in the rear and I rub ocassionally, and it will be more frequently if you go any lower.

looks good...but once you lower it, they'll rub on dips and turns if you dont run some camber or roll the fenders...

yeah there was never a problem with them fitting on stock ride height. Its when you start to lower your car is when you need to roll the fenders
