FS: Enkei RPF1s 18X10+38 w/285-30 Hoosier A6s
This is my first post here, but please don't mistake me for a scammer. I have the same screen name on the rx7 forum and many posts under my belt with multiple items sold. Anyway the details: Wheels and tires were bought new back in January and have only 2 autocross events on them with a total of 12 runs plus driving to and from the events(44miles roundtrip). Tires have plenty of runs left on them. Wheels come in at 17.5lbs each. No center caps. I ran these on my FD RX-7 which required a good fender roll in the front to fit. I think the RX-8 will accomodate this size and offset better than the FD, btu I'm not totally sure. I enclosed a pic of them in action for a fitment reference. At this point, I'm looking to sell them together, but I'm will consider selling the wheels and tires separately. I'm located in Lakewood, NJ. Asking $1200.00. Local pickups preferred, but will ship at additional cost.
Thanks,
Don

hey guys...thanks for the replys. Again, I'm really not too sure about fitments on the 8s. I'd assume you may have to do some rolling of the fender. Probably not as much as on as FD though. If anyone is local to me and wants to come down and test fit, your more than welcome to do so. I'm willing to part out the wheels separately, but not as this time. I'd really like to see if I can get someone to buy them together, so it will be sometime before I split them up.
Thanks,
Don

Only for the clueless .... flattening the lip is easy, just need one of those roller devices that attach to the wheel hub, and it's only the rear lip that needs to be addressed. Rolling fenders is a much bigger job; the fender surface has to be flaired outward. It's not even remotely close to the being the "same thing".

No, I'm just old school. I come from the days when people used to take a bat and place it between the fender and tire, then drive the car forward to roll flair the fender outward. That was fender rolling long before you were probably even born.
Just like people here call loading the suspension pre-loading, some young punk made a lip flattening tool and called it a "fender roller" and all the other young punks now think they know WTF they're talking about. Try to use that lip flattening tool to actually flair out the rear fender on an RX-8 and it won't last long. They're designed to flatten lips, not roll flair fenders.
See the "Flair/Wide Body" section:

Bump for a good guy.
If i didnt order my time attacks, i would pick this up.
Although don you might wanna confirm on the offsets as +38 is not ordinary.
Also looking at your pic, a 285 with a +38 offset should make the rear stick out a bit further out.
I have a 265 in the rear with a +38 wheel and it looks flush like that.

I ran 10.5" @ 45mm, but with a slightly narrower tire and it barely cleared the unmodified rear fender lip, the front had plenty of clearance.
Another member (Polak) ran the same tire with a 9.5 @ 38mm and it rubbed the lip in the rear.
So I'm fairly confident that it will fit, but only if the rear lip is flattened (or rolled for all the clueless punks out there).
