Enkei wheels
 
After doing some research, I have looked around and decided these wheels are probably the best mix of price and performance (and I like the way they look). However, fitment wise, I suck. Not entirely sure if they make a fitment that will look good on our cars (not to mention, I don't see many, if any 370z's with them on).

Here's a link to their size chart for rpf1's:

Which would actually fit and be SEMI flush for 18's?

Or I may just go with forgestar f14's

18x9 ET35 (or 18x9.5 ET38) for front
18x10.5 ET15 for rear

you can run a 10mm spacer in the front if you want a flush look but probably not necessary if your car is not lowered.

RPF1s are great wheels but I don't think they make ideal offsets for the 370z. You may have to run a small spacer in the front. I'm sure someone will chime in with more details.

kenchan 12-16-2010 10:32 AM

actually the offsets they show aren't bad at all for the Z.

for stock ride i would use anywhere between ET27-40 for front up to 9.5" width
for rear ET10-25 up to 10.5" width.

if lowered you can go flush down to like ET17 with 9.5" front, ET10 11" width with considerable camber.

for me i like to dial-in my setup using spacers so i usually get the higher offset wheels available in that size. you can't really do any setup changes if you buy low offset wheels other than by tires.

In addition to what kenchan gave you:

1. Driveline Eric recommended 18x9.5, +15 all around for a square set-up; (Driveline Performance)

2. Someone else, maybe Phil at Vivid Racing suggested +35 or +38 with 18x9 or 18x9.5--my memory is not exact on this.

A "square" set-up has some advantages for road racing, but there are always trade-offs. Good luck, and let us know what you do. :driving:

kenchan 12-16-2010 04:11 PM

hummm... 18x9.5 +15 in the front will guarantee a 4x4 look if not lowered.

Does anyone have pictures?

Waiz 12-16-2010 08:25 PM

These are very similar wheels and are actually made by Enkei.... AME Tracer TM-02's in 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 (+22) all around:

Those do look really nice on PG, I will look into those I think. They are really light too for the money which is a plus.

I have an RPF1 fitment question as well and didn't want to start a new thread...I'm thinking of going 19s because of price, weight and possible look combo but don't know how flush it would be if I go 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10 +22? Are there ANY Zs with actual RPF1s on with pictures? Waiz I love the pic you posted and if RPF1s look similar I won't think twice. Would love to get an idea on how they actually look though. I've done quiet a bit of research and have not been successful so I'm wondering now if there's reason for this.

I PM'd Driveline Eric (Your inbox is full btw) for pricing, he replied with great pricing but gave pricing for 19x9.5 & 19x10.5...does a 10.5 even exist? I don't see it on the spec sheet for these. I'm also thinking of going with Swift springs for the time being before I drop some serious cash on coil overs and I'd like to have a decent flush look while still being able to do a track or auto-x event once or twice a year.

Any advice?

Supposedly the RPF1s don't fit over the sport brakes in the front.

I have base model and the 18x10 et38 and 18x10.5 et15 fit well.
I'll try and get some pics for you tonight.

The RPF1's will look exactly the same, you will not be dissappointed :tup:

I was looking into RPF1s and from what I heard they fit like crud. I went Forgestar f14.

I have a base model too but I'm hoping to fit Stoptechs under there at some point in the future...I was hoping the 19s would remedy these BBK fitment issues? Would love to see pics!

Again, wondering if the 19s would remedy this fitment issue? I've read the other threads talking about fitment but no one is talking about the 19s...or did I miss something?
