Hey all. Heres the deal. I have been sifting through the tire and wheel info for a good bit. I am picking up my 03 next week. I want to get some 17" wheels and tires on the way. I keep reading about enkei rpf1's and not much else (except volks, which I refuse to spend 2-3k on a set of wheels that will get tracked).

Guess what I'm asking is what options are out there for a set of good, relatively inexpensive, relatively light, decent looking wheels. That i can run a 245 or 255 series out back without all the headache and worry of having to roll fenders, relocate tabs, and possibly have to run a camber setting that may not be ideal?

I have been digging and not coming up with much. Also what are the odds of rolling fenders without paint damage? I have seen alot of fenders with popped paint from rolling.

Again, have been searching so please dont flame me. Have a head ache from digging. Toss a guy a little help....please.

 

The best fit that I have is the TR Motorsport F3. You can go wide on the rear with no problems. They are a forged wheel that is light and strong and are 16.6 lbs for the rear 17X8.5 wheel. They are pricey but less than the Volks at 429.00 front and 459.00 rear.
I do carry the RPF1 as well with a much better price. You may still have to roll the fender lip depending on what tires you go with. Negative camber is not a bad thing if you are going to be tracking the car and it will give you more room and better performance.
If I can help let me know.

 

Jim if I go with a 245 series and not a 255 with the 9" rpf1's can I avoid rubbing issues? I do really like the look of the rpf1's. How has your experience with fender rolling been? What are the odds of paint damage?
