Question Wheel setup question before I pull the trigger

Hey y'all,

I've got a bone stock '00 that I'm looking to slap some tires and wheels on. Planning on a forced induction build down the line so I'm trying to beef up the car to be ready for it. I'm looking at the Enkei PF01s 17x8 50mm in the front and 17x9 60mm in the rear. Planning on putting 225/45s on the front and 255/40s on the back... doing some research with mixed answers so thought I'd ask myself. Anyone run this spec? How's she fit with stock suspension and fender clearances? Planning on putting Ohlins on later and lowering it an inch so it's important that the wheels don't rub obviously.

~~Thanks

I have this exact setup at stock height. No issues at all.

IMO this is about the most legit aftermarket wheel set on the market for the S2k. Good on ya for figuring out what will work, this forum usually gets stuff like "I bought 18x10 +35 gonna run 275s all around, that'll fit, right?"

If you're going FI on an '00, then you'll want to also "beef up" the oil squirter banjo bolts to the 4 hole units found in mid '02+.

had this exact setup on my stock suspension 03 for a few months now, no clearance issues whatsoever.

Can the same size and offsets be achieved with the Enkei RPF1? - And will they still look concave enough to look good?

If you want some lips look in to PF01 SS.
