Looking for a new set of wheels but I'm unsure about what size to go for. It seems like not a lot of good wheels out there that follow OEM spec. I am running 215/245 tires and would like to stick with that. Main issue is that I do not want to roll the fenders for ease of resale if that day ever comes. Closest thing Tirerack is showing for the RPF1's are 7.5 and 9. If I plan on a minor drop, will these have fitment issues with 215/245 tires and stock fenders? I was also looking into SSR and Forgestars but they do not offer stock sizing either. Are there any other decent brands to look into that have more options? While looks are important to me, if they are not better than OEM then I do not see a point in spending money on them. And budget wise, I would like to keep it close to the few I mentioned. Thanks!

 

17x8 +50 PF01 front, 17x9 +60 PF01-SS rear would work with 215/245. Personally I'd run 225/45-17 255/40-17 on those sizes, but for sure OEM tire sizes are A-OK. Neither of those sizes would require any fender work. Available from Tire Rack. They call them both "PF01", but be aware the rears are the -SS version, which has a machined lip. You can find pics of S2000's on these wheels with a search.

There are Volks in the exact OEM spec. The Enkei PF01's Zdan posted are pretty close as well. There is not an RFP1 that is OEM spec. TSW has a few that are close.

 

Thanks. Volks seem out of my price range at the moment but I will look into the pf01. From what I been reading, any lowering will require rolling the front fenders right? Does this hold true with the PF01 mentioned above with 215/245? What about 225/255? I might try 215/255 cr setup if I can get away without rolling but I might just have to consider keeping it at stock height.

 

It depends how much you lower but generally I advise you roll them. You can leave them and just check the fender liners regularly. You are looking for signs of rubbing right where the liner meets the inner fender lip. It takes one bad turn for it to rub through and grab the fender.

 

Thanks again! Found some old threads on this and they seem to have all positive reviews. I'm not looking for anything slammed, maybe around an inch or less. Only issue I have is that it seems there are a ton of people running enkies but I guess I can't have everything on a low budget.

I might just drive the car till it's over 100k and roll the fenders. By then rolled fenders or not, I won't be getting top dollar if I sell anyways heh.

 

215/45-17 shouldn't require a roll on +50 offset lowered 1".
