I have enough money saved up to finally purchase Enkei RPF1's, but I'm having a hardtime choosing an offset & tire size. It just really confuses the hell outta me and now that I'm jumping up to an 18" and staggering I'm really confused... I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but it's worth a shot.

I'm looking at a set of 18x10.5 for the rear and 18x9 in the front. This is going on a Kouki S14
I currently am running a set of P45R's 17x9 all the way around and I believe they have a +15 offset and I'm running a 1/4" spacer and they sit pretty well. I'm also running a 234/45 tire. I'd like them to sit a bit more "flush" though.

So can anyone help me out here? I'd appreciate it.

I saw it, I'm not gonna search through 500+ pages to hopefully see the exact setup I'm looking for.

I actually found a couple sites that helped...
Tyrestretch.com - Image Library (http://www.tyrestretch.com/)
Wheel Offset Calculator (http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp)
RIMTUCK.com - Wheel Fitment Database (http://www.rimtuck.com/)

Found some RPF1's locally in 18x9.5 +15 just curious if I'll be hitting my front strut with them being so wide.

I'm going to look at a set of RPF1's today that are 18x10.5 & 18x8.5 The guy doesn't seem to know too much being that he didn't know what I was refering to when I said "Do you still have the RPF1's?".... I know the rears are a 15 offset, according to my calculations those will set 1/2" wider than my current rear setup. From his words the fronts are a "standard size and will fit anything" :/ So you see what I'm dealing with here

8.5 in the front blows go for at least a 9 and like it's been said there's a thread. Your not looking for your exact wheel and size but look for people running similar sizes And get an idea from there goodluck
