Hey everyone... I am a newbie so be gentle.

i am about to purchase 2 enkei RP01's and they are 18x9 with 265/35/ZR18's

will these fit on the rear of a 1995 S14 Silvia ......rolling guards is not a problem but I am worried they are gonna hit the strut before they get to the guards.

Anyone got a similar setup on their car. If you do what offset are your wheels??

Any help here will be fantastic.

Peace
RiaZ

What is the offset of your Enkei's?

misnomer · 01-26-2003, 01:43 PM

9" width wheels are huge for a 240, will need to be fairly low offset to fit. Like Lauren said, what offset?

SilviaDriver · 01-26-2003, 01:54 PM

like everybody said. offset please. and yes you will need a low offset

abour +24 or something

i have the tt z rims on my car they are 8.5 in the rear with 245's in the back as far as i know and from what a book at a shop in nj i went said the off set on the tt rims is +20 and the rears fit fine on my s14, not sure about ur rims but the z rims dont have much room before they would rub, with 20 more millimeters of tire on ur car u may need some spacers for everything to fit really well, dont put spacers one without extended bolts if the spacers are larger than 5 millimeters

At this site it says that the offset is 38 for a 17x9 for the 4 lug...maybe it will help...

Dousan_PG · 01-26-2003, 11:08 PM

dont believe that. you need lower then +30 offset
how do i know? SKyline R33 GTR wheels work on S13 ok. just need to run thinner tires. gtr wheels are 17x9 +30

less then 30 you'll clear coilovers and z brakes.
