Default Rpf1 question

I have 4 tires laying around in the following sizes:

(2) 245/35/18
(2) 225/40/18

Looking to get a set of rpf1s...what width rpf1 will work with these sizes (also want et45)?

I am not sure of all the rpf1 sizings and not sure what will work for me. Any help would be appreciated.

I would also like to avoid black wheels if possible (not sure if sizes have anything to do with color).

8 front 9 rear comes in a 45 offset. Its a nice aggressive step up in fitment from stock but not overboard/hellaflush. The fitment still runs aggressive enough that fender rolling is recommended.

Just to note, your front tire is larger in overall diameter then the rear. 255/35 would be a match. Its not a big deal generally, but thought I'd point out. It will visually be noticeable to a degree.

Thanks a lot man. Do you know if those sizes come in SBC?

With the tire sizes I listed, could I run a 9.5 wheel all around? I know that is pretty big for the front but I have rolled my fenders etc...

You could. That's a pretty big stretch with a 225/40 on a 9.5" wheel, but it can be done. I'd run 245/35 non-staggered with 9.5" +45 all around. The other option is to find a 8" or 8.5" wheel for the front, not sure what offsets are available.

Appears they don’t make a +45 in a 8" wide for 18" and also proper bolt pattern... So, looking at the chart and offsets in 18" and your rolled fenders, id say the best option would be going with the 8.5 +40 for front, which will be a convex face ( can fit a BBk if wanted in future) and do the 9.5 + 45 concave face for the rear. These rims will accommodate your current tires without being overly stretched and offer you enough to up your tire width to the next size in the future.

Not sure about the SBC, you will want to call enkei on that.

Your best bet is to go into the marketplace and ask one of the vendors that carries these wheels for different finishes. As for sizes looking at what junky posted the 18x8.5 +40 or 18x8+35 for the front and 18x9 +35 for the rear could work. You will need rolled fenders tab relo and camber but they can fit.
