17x9 +45 Enkie RPF1 offset on a 1g?

[Viva]

Alrighty so I found a set of enkie rpf1 17x9 +45 offset (gold). Has anyone fit these on there 1g awd? I've searched for threads but no luck. If they fit in the fenders well what tires should I get? I'm not going tto have a lot of track time so street tires will be applied (Cooper zeons zt) to be specific. I am not sure what size tires. I don't want to go to a 8 inch wide wheel. Thanks guys!

Did you use the offset calculator linked MANY times in the forums? +45 with a 9"? Doubt it, but I'd check the calculator.


Did I mention to check the calculator?

Without checking the calculator and knowing tire sizes, drop, etc...I'd assume a +30ish ofset would be the sweet spot.

Well unfortunately I can't get 17x9 with anything but 45mm offset. The lowest is a 43mm. I was directed to get Cooper zeons. 215/40/17. Then I saw a fella have 255/40/17 falkens ??? This is from dsmtalk, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put the link up or not. (Conflict of interest)? If not someone delete it pronto.

Just photos. He said has spacers 5mm and 8mm +?

 

[LandoAWD]

I know this may be silly, but why do you want 9" width?

 

[snowborder714]

Especially when you're looking into 215 and 225 tires. If you go with a 9" wheel, I would expect to see a 245 or 255 tire.

 

[rlacasse1]

With a 9" wide wheel you will need a +27mm offset (optimal).

I seen the rpf1 setup on a 1g eclipse it was 17x9 and had the most aggressive stance ever. He said they were 9" , I don't know him I met him at a gas station in new Jersey. I'm not sure if he really had 9 or 8" inch wide so was gonna double check with everyone here.

Like that car. It has the size you're looking for according to the owner. His name is TSIDRIFT1. You can look up his profile.

I decided 17x8 with 215/40/17 falkens should be good for time trials.

 

[snowborder714]

Time trials? As in road racing time trials? On a 215 tire???

Definitely not the choice I would have made. Why such a skinny tire on such a wide wheel?

It was exactly on the border of NY. we were headed to rohde island . Wrong turn all I knew i was in NJ

I used the calculator given and that's what lines up.... what's the reason for it if you disagree, yet I have no flipping idea which tire I should select that's not 110 dollars or more.

 

[LandoAWD]

215s are 7" territory.

 

[Viva]

Thank you Landoo, and I have 215/40/17 on 17x9 on eagle alloys right now. It has a "euro"stretch but I'm selling that set for 850

 

[kidtsi]

Just one thing to keep in mind, 17x8 rpf1s spokes are ####ing ugly.

 

[Viva]

Disagree my friend there rugged looking. I'm not into "cute or pretty" wheels.

Are you kidding? 215s on a 9" wheel?

 

[Boostinsideways]

Why would you want 215s on a such a wide wheel? I am running 17x7 and 245/45/r17 The grip is amazing compaired to the 205/55/r17 that were on the wheels before.

 

[estoyaqui30]

I'm running 245/40 R17 on a 17x8 +38 (EVO9) and they look really nice on a 2GB

Yoy said u wanr stance so? I got 17x9 +35 rpf1s and they look way different.

You wont have stance if u pick the wrong offset or wheel width. And why run 215s on a 9? If you want little strech go with 235s on a 9 or 225 on a 8.

I I don't really care for the stretch tbh
