OK, I'm getting ideas for my track set up for next year

Volk CE28n - 17x10 +45 all around with 275/40-17

I was originally looking at the RPF1's in 17x9 +45 will the Volks fit about the same or better, what do you guys think?

^That will fit fine without a roll.

^Really?

There are so many people running that set up, Most on 275's instead of 255's...

Yes, It will fit, no rubbing, and you can go as low as you'd like.

^No worries

Are you looking to get the Black RPF1, or the Silver?

Silver. I just can't decide on which wheel to buy.

It's either the Enkei SC05s or the RPF1s. I think the SC05s look better and are 70 USD cheaper but I can't ignore that the RPF1s are stronger, lighter by 6 lbs and 1.5 inches wider.

^Classic Function or form dilema (sp)

One is more appealing to the eye and slightly cheaper however the other presents better specs while being slightly more expensive.

$70 for a lighter, stronger and wider wheel is worth it IMO.

will this fit without rolling any fenders..
19x8.5 +35 245/35/19 F
19x9.5 +40 275/30/19 R

plus, I am going to use lowering springs that would probably drop around 1.2" - 1.4" F and around .9" - 1.2" Rear.

one more question while I'm at it, i wonder why does most of the 8 here has the front tire of 245/35/19... why can't it be 245/30/19.... so that it would be consistent with the rear. thanks

^Yes it fill fit, depending on camber.

What wheels are you interested in?

The "30" is the percent of the wheel that is the sidewall, So 30% of the 245mm tire is the sidewall. Which means that a 245/35 will be similar to a 275/30. As far as sidewall height.

oh ok.. so, a 245/30 would actually look thinner than 275/30 although they are the same?

I am not sure what u meant by depending on camber.. is this something you would have to do to fit the wheels?

I am interested in axis shine.. or any recommendations? I love wheels with lip on them..

^If you for some reason running 0 degrees camber, meaning the wheel is perfectly straight up and down, then you will rub. If you have say -1 degree camber, which is usually about stock, then you will be fine and not rub at all.

I was thinking about getting the Enkei RP03 225/45-18 all around with a 40 offset.

Any feedback/suggestions on tire size, cambering, etc. would be really appreciated.

Ok so you want an 18x? +40 with 225/45/18 Hmm I'm going to guess it will work easily, but you haven't told the wheel width.

^It'll rub if you are lowered. Go with a 255/40/17 on a 9" wheel.

Are you looking for different wheel sizes? Tire sizes?

Lol this isn't the "Make a Decision for Me" thread. Those will all fit given the right offsets/tire.
