Default Need help wheel and tire size for Enkei RPF1's

Hey everyone. I don't know too much about wheel and tire size and how they will fit on my s2k and would appeciate the help before I purchase anything. I want to buy 18' enkei RPF1's. Will 18x9 45 offset work with my car? If this would work what size tire would you recommend? I am assuming reading through other forums I will have to do some fender work. Does anybody have an estimate for how much the fender work would cost? Thanks for your help.

18x9 will work with a fender roll and bumper tab replacement. A local shop here does the work for $75 per fender. It might be a bit different in your area.

The recommended sizes are:

18x8 - 225/40/18
18x9 - 255/35/18

If you’re going with an 18" in rpf1 you can get a slightly better offset with +48 in a 10" wide and go for a 265-275 or maybe 285/30 in back. With some decent camber 2.5-3 and fender roll/bumper tab relocate, this can fit. More rubber the better

Thanks for the help. Love the way the rpf1's look on your car. What size tire are you running in the front?

No prob. Thanks. If your looking at my avatar that’s a different tire config then what I’m running now. In the pic thats a 215/40 up front. I'm running a 225/45 now with a 295/35 out back.
