Enkie RPF1 and 50mm/30mm/ or pull stock quarter pan????

[cc4usmc]

He, what do you know, I made a poll. This poll is for s142jzkillav10, since he couldn't figure out how to post a poll.
Can a mod add a ' in don't in the last poll option? It gives me a headache. Thanks

I'm thinking about purchaseing Enkie RPF1's for my silver 97. I was wondering if any of you where running these and what is your offset and size.

I'm looking for 17's since I can fit a taller tire in the rear. but also wanted to go wide. 10" wide + for the rear. and 8.5 or 9 for the front.

I'm also contemplating about purchaseing 50mm wide quarter panels for the car. I like the wider look.
Your input if greatly appreciated Fellas/ Galls

i voted stockness. pull/roll the front and rears. outside of the car looks to clean to mess with fiberglass panels right now. and its not too costly to do a roll/pull. if you decide you want more, then go widebody later.

In the RPF1 - even with the 18x10.5 +15 and a 50mm over fender
you have about 1" of space between edge of wheel and fender.
So a spacer would be required if you want a flush fit.
with a 30mm over fender it will fit better, but may still need a little bit of
spacer to make it fit flush.

18x10.5 +15 should fit under S14 rears EASY.

[kafanylovesme]

Why the fuck would you want to fuck up those perfectly fine quarter panels for overs? Any size RPF1 will fit under stock body S14.

Agreed... These wheels are sitting on a S14 in my garage... with a 245 it fits on the stock body with a minor poke... if you don't want a minor poke or want more tire then a pull will set you up perfectly... no need for overs with this setup

Thanks for your input. ALL Comments are Welcomed.

Thanks again Fellas/ladys

30mm, with what degree camber?

18x10.5 +15 would fit with stock fenders with with aggressive pull, and camber. For drifting or daily driving, probably not the best setup.

Then again, it would look bitchin' and this IS Zilvia. Tuck or fail. Hahaha

This is why i decided to make molds for 40mm overfenders. I am waiting for my Enkei NT03's to arrive right now. 18 x 9.5 +27 and 18 x 10.5 + 30. Using Hankook 275 slicks front and back. I would have gone with a 305 for the rear, but i came up on 4 sets of hardly used 275 slicks from a team i work with.

Do you have any pictures of the molded quarter panels ??? I would like to see how the vehicel looks

[kognition]

I will shortly. I have to have my car finished for a time attack next month. It's actually a full body kit i have been developing since last year. I'm so behind on all my work these days. Frustrating.
