Default Enkei Help

My car is under a APR widebody process. The rims I decided to get is Enkei rpf1. One of my friends went to see the APR car in person and he said that they are running a conservative setup. Their specs are 18x9 front and 18x10 in rear. Do you guys think it would be a problem if I went with 18x9.5 front and 18.10.5 in rear. My body guy cut the stock fenders in the rear that was recommended by APR.

Well, you have seen the APR car right? What do you think of the look? Also, you can keep those rim sizes and get a lower offset, or you can get the 9.5s and 10.5s and get a higher offset. I thought I remembered the guy saying the APR body lets you use 350z wheel specs.

But don't get those wheels!! They are so played out on the S2000 even though the sizes will be better. Is it just that you can't afford Volks or something? Cause I know the Enkeis are moderately priced.

Just as played out as Volks, Work, Advan's on the S2000. Let the man do what he wants to do.

The problem is that most of us don't know how much extra clearance the widebody will allow. If you could find that information out then we could make a recommendation. Most 350Z's run 9.5/10.5 +15. As for being played out, get what you want but the widebody does open up a lot more options in low offset wheels that don't work on a stock body.

not meaning to thread jack but I have an enkei rpf1 question too and too many enkei threads popping up would be bad

I'm planning on getting 17x7 +45 front with 215 tire

17x8 +45 with 255 tire
or
17x9 +45 with 255 tire

I'm on stock height and alignment so would it still rub?
How would the handling be if I have 17x7 and 17x8 combination VS the 17x7 and 17x9 combination?

the tires I'll be using are 215/45/17 fronts and 255/40/17 rears (already have them)

thanks
