Wide Stance: RPF1/R888

[FR500GT]

Well its been about a month with the new setup and I finally had a chance to take a few pics. Here are a few pics of the wheels on the car before i sell them. I love em; the grip is amazing and they look absolutely badass on the car but I've decided on a new setup

Enkei RPF1's (19x10) +22 all around
Toyo R888's (295/30/19) al around

and a few more...

I've always loved the look of the R888s. Not hot on the offset of the wheels though. I get that you want a wide stance, but that's a bit too much. If tires are gonna stick out , I'd expect at least a 315 tire out back.

I don't think there was a choice about offset for those wheels in that size & mustang bolt pattern. Too bad.

So will they clear Brembo's?

Looks good... Time for a body kit!

There is a choice, and +22 isn't it for stock fenders/camber.

You are saying the choice is to not run these wheels period, or there is a more Mustang friendly offset? (Link please)

The Enkei PF01 is available in an 18x10.5, 5x114.3 with 38... thinking that would stick out a bit as my 18x10, 45, with 295/40 was flush.

There are much more friendly offsets.

well at least i know what enkeis look like on the mustang, i had a set on my last car and would really like a set for the s197, only problem i had was then bend real easy if you hit a pothole and im sure having them on a heavier car would be even worst. i priced a set of 18's at just around 1350 shipped so its looking like im going that route if all else doesnt pan out, car looks great!!!

 

[FR500GT]

I'd keep em if they were all black and slightly less aggressive. The new setup will be one off though, of coarse

I saw you drivin tword the freeway on alicia today!! they look sick.

 

[FR500GT]

Haha ya I work around there. Ive driven behind the car once and it looks insane!

Pictures dont really do justice.

Yup, GRC is on that street too.

Right on. Umberto seems like a good guy. My gf took her car there for some wiring repairs a while back.

 

[Cookiemonster]

haha GRC.. Iv heard some interesting stories about that place... I wont be taking my car there anytime soon. The guy is nice though.

 

[Riptide]

That doesn't look like the regular RPF1 centercap to me. What's the story there? Isn't sticking out very far.

EDIT: Ahh I see. You have 19s.

I don't know about tuning or mechanical as I've heard stories too, but I can definitely say they're not the WORST Mustang shop in SoCal. I've had much worse experiences elsewhere.

how much do you want for the wheels, are you willing to part with the tires if you are just let me know ball park range of the wheels with tires and without.
