Hey all.

I am currently running Enkei PF01's in a 17x9+60. I like the look of these wheels but I don't like how far in they sit. When I bought them they only came in a +60 offset.

I don't want overboard crazy stance as it really isn't practical, but I don't like having wheel gap either. I want to achieve a stance where I can sit just on flush without wheel gap and without scrubbing too much and without having to run overly ridiculously amounts of camber. I want a set up that is going to look good and perform nicely while on the track. As for camber I'm hoping to run about -2.5 in the rear and -2 in the front.

I have about 15 mil of gap between my fender and rear wheel, therefore 17x9+45ish seems like it would be a good size for the back, but it seems like a little much for the front. My +60 offset sits pretty nicely on the front and I don't see how I can go out to a +45 with 9 inches of width unless I run over -3 degrees of camber, I'm not even sure the standard camber adjust allows for that much.

Is there any disadvantage in running a staggered fitment? Say if I went 17x9+45 in the rear and 17x8+45 in the front?

Finding a nice balance between form and function is difficult.

 

Why not buy 2 more pf01s in 17x9 +48 for the rear. You could probably sell the 2 +60s to recoupe some of the money. I have seen a few people run that setup and it looks good.

 

you could easily just run a spacer if that's all you're worried about.

 

+1 for spacers if u wanna save some money

 

I'd say get a 10mm spacer for the back and call it a day.

 

Spacer is the cheapest way to go. A 9 +45 is flush in the rear. So that's what you should base it off of. You'll need your fenders rolled though.
Also, depending on how low you go, the fronts will max out a little over -4, and the rears get CLOSE to -6. I'm running 17x9 +45 with a 245/40 all around. I'm on a stock alignment, but with -2 camber up front, they'll fit with a roll and a slight pull no problem.

 

17x8/9 +45 is a very common stagger setup with good fitment. I run a 17x8/9 +47 with 225/255 tires. -3* camber roughly.

 

17 x 9 et 54 is sweet fitment

 

This isn't a bad idea. I was actually thinking of swapping over to RPF1's. I do like the PF01's but I have had them for nearly 18 months now and I'm just getting tired of looking at them. I know RPF1's are common, but around Geelong/Melbourne I am yet to see an s2000 that has a set.

How does running different offset front and rear effect handling? If I do this, my track in the rear will be wider.

 

Thanks for this info! My guards are already rolled. So I don't need an aftermarket camber kit to get the front cambered in properly?
