Just took off my winter set (18X8 Enkei Ls-5's with DWS tires), and put on my summer set(18X9.5 et45 Enkei Rpf1's with Toyo Proxes T1R 255/40/18). Yes I know the cell phone pics are bad.

A number of years ago, I bought a set of RPo2's for autoxing. At that time they were listed as 18.3# for 18 x8". However, when actually weighed, they were over 20#.
Has anyone else had this occurrence with any other of the Enkei's? Just wondering if they typically lowball their specs.

Just some pics of the whole process.... pretty dope. If your in the DFW area and need a good shop check out Texas Track Works... Kyle Yepsen is a baller and did an excellent fender roll.

... Im on a 265/35-18 Michelin PSS' on all four corners... They definitely rubbed when lowered in the rears...
In the last picture in the upper left corner you can see the plastic on my tire from it slightly rubbing still...

Doesn't make sense, you might want to check your shocks. Plenty of people are lower and running lower offsets and don't rub. Hoss-05 is on Stance GR's, 265/35-18's on a 18 x 10 and a lower offset and doesn't rub. When I test fit 265/35-18's they were fine and I am at 18 x 9.5 +30. Even with a full load of people I only rub slightly when off camber. When these 245/40-18's are done I will run 265/35-18's and I will need to roll but at +45 you should not rub. You may wanna check those Koni's.

Yeah I have always been amazed at how similar setups can be so different in real life even though the specs are supposed to be the around the same. Grungepups car with H Techs and Koni's is way low.
