Enkei RFP1's in 17x9.5 on an FD

Post by Goman »

Hey there-would the 17x9.5 RFP1 (38mm offset) fit an FD with Falken
275/40/17's without more than a lip roll on a car that has been resprung to a ride height approx. 1.2 lower than stock? Please let me know what you think. I like the lighter weight of the 17's vs. the 18's, plus the tires are significantly less expensive (In the Falken 615, $238 each for the 275/35/18's as opposed to $159 ea. for the 275/40/17's.

So whaddya think? Please let me know.

Done 44 and 45 mm offset 9.5 wide wheel combos that wide on FD. The 38 will can certainly be done, just a question of rolling more lip to make that work.
