Default 18" Enkei RPF1's

Does anyone have a set of these in 5x114.3, or know anyone that has a set or even a shop that might have some in Perth? The offset is not drastically important, but the lower the better I guess. Width does not matter.

I'm trying to find out if they clear my brakes, and whilst it seems unlikely, I would like to give it a go if anyone is willing? I can just bring around a hub with the caliper bolted on, so it shouldn't take long.

Cheers
Brad

Wilkinson Suspension Centre sell them but I'm not sure they would be happy to test fit if you go and buy them from someone else...

It's alright Steve, I admit I'm a scumbag, but not that big of a scumbag!

Cheers for the heads up.

Im pretty sure going by what i saw in crawlers thread (now deleted) that you will need spacers for the fronts. That was for a GD sti.

Ahhh, it's not actually to fit over brembos, hence the wanting to check. It's not so much a spoke clearance issue, rather a caliper diameter issue.

I can not seem to find the inner diameter of an 18" RPF1 for love nor money, but i know it needs to be at least 425mm to fit my application. I know that Advan RS wheels fit over (and other similar types), but I have doubts about the RPF1, sadly.

You could do what most people do, just buy the wheels and when they don't fit construct a for sale thread advertising them for more than what you paid.

On serious note... if wilkinson's does sell them i'd just search for the rims elsewhere and get your best price. Ring up wilkinsons ask them to match it or as close to and say i'll come down to check fitment. If mickey mouse i'll take them off you then. Works out good for all seeing as they'll be able to do alignment n such whilst your there.
