Enkei RPF1

So I'm contemplating my next rim set up and was just wondering what y'all thought of putting Enkei RPF1's in 19x9.5 +22 245/35/19 and 19x10 +22 275/35/19. My car is liquid platinum... Just going for a more functional set up next. 20's with 30 series tires are killing me. My car is pretty low so I think it will be a good fit. Pic of the rim for some imagination

Do you think those sizes will be okay too? I feel like I'm gonna have to put some spacers in the back to make it flush..

Those sizes will work rather nicely, actually. I have run a 10.5" (+22) in the rear and I thought it was just a little bit too aggressive for my tastes. I do not like stretch and crazy negative camber. The .5" smaller rear wheel you are running will give you an additional 6mm (about .23") clearance over mine, which, in my opinion, will be a nice rear set-up on a coupe.

You are on H&R springs, correct?

Yea see I'm a 20x10.5 +22 all around right now and I do have stretched tires... I'm on H&R for now but coils are coming in the next month or two

Coilovers will give you the flexibility to make multiple different set-ups work. Since you stated you are going for a more functional set-up, I think these wheels in the sizes you posted above would work nicely for you. I am a bit nervous how the 275/35 set-up in the rear would work on H&R springs. I don't know that you would not have rubbing issues. I can't speak to that because my ride height is less aggressive than a H&R drop.

I am no where near rubbing right now with the 20's and I have a 265/30/20... So I think that having a smaller rim may help... Not sure though

Probably the most popular Enkei wheel we carry! Great looking in real life.

I have a LP X sedan and am also looking these in sbc 19 x 9 all around. Post pic when done, please. Maybe when I get an idea how they look on a LP G, it'll help me decide.


These Rays Gramlight 57xtreme is my primary choice and Enkei my seondary.
