I need a pair of rims 17x9 with an offset that will clean an s13 front coilovers and 30mm 300zx brakes. I bought some Enkei RPF1's (silver) brand new and the tires mounted on them rub the coilover on sharp turns. I will be willing to trade if it seems fair. The Enkei's have brand new barely driven on Dunlop Track Stars.

I am in the Los Angeles Country Area.

why not just run a 5-10mm slip on spacer? i was running rpf1s in 17x10 +18 on my s13 (front and rear) with 245-40-17 tires and no spacers and had no problems clearing everything.

how does it only rub the coilover on sharp turns? the tire shouldn't move relative to the coilover at all.

On sharp turns the sidewall of the tire will hit the spring on the coilover, no idea why, it just does. It's very obvious, right when it hits you hear the sound and the steering wheel will jerk for a sec.

Were you by any chance running s14 control arms?

yes i have s14 lca.
i would check to see if you're hitting the inner fender. if you're hitting the spring during turning it sounds like something is loose on your spindle or suspension.

I'm pretty sure that's why yours do not hit, the s14 lca should push it out about another 10mm from the coilover. I am pretty sure it is not the inner fender because I tested it. When turned pretty much all the way to the right, the front left tire contacts the coilover, or is very close, with heat expansion and all, it should eventually hit. Nothing is lose, I have tq'd and retq'd everything a million times to spec.
