This picture is haunting me.



(I'm aware the picture is of an 18x9.5 in a super aggressive +15mm offset.)
18x9 +35 would need a spacer is what there saying, i would be okay with that depending on how thick of a spacer

I am ok with a spacer as long as the increased moment (offset load) generated at the hub isn't too large.

That size would seem to work with a 5mm spacer if the spokes clear.

We are still here. I am the only person working on this and I have just been super busy with Black Friday and Cyber Monday stuff. I am still looking to get this going.

We all just need to come to a conclusion on what size we want. Color will be later right now we need a size.

we all need to agree on a size. I just talked to oakos automotive, and enkie gave them the ok to make the wheel but we all have to agree on a size, me personally I beive 18x9 would be perfect. even if we need to use a small spacer. I wont buy these wheels unless there 18x9 and a lot of guys here agreed on that size. I feel that if we agree on that size then we can choose our own color

+35 I believe he said. also mentioned that we would need a small spacer to clear the brembos on the lnf's but im sure everyone is okay with that since they are all still saying 18x9

i have been down this road and currently run an 18x9 +35 rpf1 in SBC.

18x9 +35 will not clear brembo's at all, you would need a 15mm spacer at that point and it's just not feasible without a bunch of camber and tire stretch

if 15mm is a small spacer, go right ahead lol it won't work. guaranteed

Josh I went through this in this thread already and they said the spokes are curved so I concluded my data is too old and out of date. so. they should listen to you.

I feel like 18x8.5 would be great. It'd fit better and wouldn't have to stretch tires. Want 245/40/18, but don't know how'd that go with Powell v.3s? Any guesses on that lol

So I'm guessing the only option that we know for certain will fit over the Brembos is the 18x8 +35?

I would think that if Enkei is worried about selling enough in 5X110 to justify producing them, they wouldn't be cutting their sales in half by ignoring the LNF owners.

It's very disappointing that we can't get anything wider than 8" that fits over the Brembos. I'm guessing the Evo and STi guys are stuck with the same issue running RPF1's?
