Default Enkei RPF1 offset for Js Racing Wide Fender

Hi guys,

I have Js wide fender with stock rear fender.
Just wondering if I should get 17x9 +22 F and 17x9 +45 R or 17x9 +35 6 and 17x9 +45?

I don't to want to have too much dish at the front , just want to balance the front and rear.
If +22 wouldn't give me dish then Ill probably get it.

Ill be running 255 all around

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Erik

J's fender is 40mm wider than stock..
i know J's car in japan use 17x9 +35 all around with stock rear fenders..
thats wat i wanna get.. (CE28N)
i've seen J's fender(fr&rr) with 17x9 +22(CE28N) all around and it looked sick!
i've also seen 17x9.5 +38 all around RPF1 and it looked flush and sick as well!

the "dish" on the RPF1 does not get any deeper at all after 17x9+45. You can get into the teens and the outside of the wheel looks the same.

If it were me, I think I'd run 9+22 on all 4 corners, but you'd most likely need overfenders to run 255s. Not real sure how you'd pull and flare that much on stock fenders. I know it can be done, and if you want to make the effort I think it'd look sick, but it's all up to you

Unfortunately I am not planning to cut my rear quarter panel for now

I don't think I can run 17x9 +35 with 255 without any major work done on the rear quarter panel i.e pulling/pumping the rear guard so I will have to stick with 17x9 +45.

If the concavity remains the same then I'll just order 17x9 +22.

Anyone with J's Wide Fender, Would I have rubbing issue running 255 with 17x9 +22 or should I get 17x9 +35 instead to be safe with -2 front camber

Why would you run a more aggressive set up in front? Even with the wide fenders that's going to look kind of silly. Run the same size all around, go with the lowest offset you feel comfortable running in the rear.

The reason why I want aggressive front offset is to make it flush.

I am not planning and most likely won't run rear overfender so I can't run more than +45 offset.

I understand where you are coming from and perhaps will settle for +35.
