18 by 10 all the way around with 38mm ofset fits?

so when it says online that rims are for mustangs up to 04, because of the low offset, will they work on our cars? how will they look with a low offset like+22 or something...

Take a look at the shots I've posted. That's pretty much what you'd be dealing with. The offsets for the RPF-1s on my car are for an 03/04 Cobra (they were on my 95 with 04 IRS).

thanks for the info! i like when they stick out more (lower offset) but the guy at cruzin concepts told me its going to look stupid but i like the wide stance

I bet your car would look bitchin' if you lowered it, Grip.

I'm suprised they stick out that far, do you have any shots of the whole car?

^ I agree that things need nothing but to be lowered next....4x4 fenders FTL

I'll try to snap some when I'm off work, but as you'll see from the pictures the car sits as low as I'd want it to already. See, the wheels and tires are directly off of my 95 (man, I'm gonna miss that thing) so the total wheel diameter is much smaller.

Why'd I put em on? Well, within an hour of buying the car I just had to make it "mine." Tires are fairly new with only one autocross on them, so I might as well melt them off at CMP this weekend. I WISH Enkei made an RPF-1 in 18x10 with the right offset. I'm tempted by the 18x9.5s but if I'm gonna spend that much I want my 10" up front damnit!

Incase anyone's curious, I called Enkei USA about it and according to them..it'd cost $70k to make that happen, as it'd require a new mould. My response? "If I spend that much, I'm keepin' the mould!"

Shots are crappy...it was late...long day. At any rate, here's what SN95 wheels/tires look like on an S197...

god damn that shit is high

It's actually not, it's just the wheel size. It sits pretty low. They're just on there for CMP this weekend. May as well get some fun out of the tires.

 

[Hockeyman82]

yeah what are the specs on the wheels again? like rim size and tire size

@Joe

What wheels are on your car in the sig? Do you run those on the track only or are those your DD wheels/tires? I remember you posted this somewhere but I could not find it..

 

[LuckyH]

I know i've seen this done before, so i went digging on google for a bit.

The wheels are 18x10, +40 offset with a 9mm spacer up front to keep the tires off of the struts. 315/30/18 Hoosiers all around.

I assume this is directed towards me, they are roush 18x10 +45(i think, so much conflicting data as to whether its +41 or +45) with a 285/35 NT05 on them.

I run them street and track.

Thats sick, anymore pictures?

Kaldar any rubbing issues?

With my roush rims and GT500 brembos there is not much caliper clearance. Just something to think about that 7mm would make a difference. Always loved those Enkeis. Good luck with the molds.

It's the ultra Rare Mustang GT "FX4"

None whatsoever, got room to go bigger actually.

When i put on my BMR tubular a-arms though, when i go full lock the inside of the wheel grinds against the a-arm. I just made some steering stops so it stops right before it hits it.

That was the only pic posted.

it looks like that may hit the fenders up front

Hey, gotta retract my previous posts. The offsets on the RPF-1s are actually +22 Front and +18 Rear. (Double checked after some critical thinking)

My apologies to anyone lead wrong...especially Kaldar lol

 

[Kaldar142]

^ I knew something wasn't right!!

Thanks for checking though man
