Will enkei RPF1's fit over my bbk?
 
I'm looking to get some Enkei RPF1 17x8.5 +30 offset to use as my drag or road coarse rims. I was wondering if anybody would know if they fit over my 300zx/Cobra rotor BBK?

That's one of the few I don't know for sure. 17x8.5 +40 work, 17x9 +35 work, 17x9.5 +38 don't work.

How coarse is that road course you'll be driving on :lolrun: :kiss:

But 8.5" + 30 should be fine, IMO. If not, it's spacer time.

The thing is that will it work for Z calipers and 13" cobra rotors tho.

17x8.5 30mm should clear just fine...i know it will clear AP/Stillen brakes...which are similar in size to your cobra BBK...theres a local who has them

The Law May 9, 2007 06:34 PM

Alright cool.

dibs on the track wheels?

The Law May 9, 2007 08:30 PM

Nope, not selling the track wheels. I'm getting the Enkei RPF1's as my drag/road course wheels. The track wheels are my DD wheels and then later on I might get another set of wheels for show.

I'm pretty sure it will fit...

Both andy and larry are running these wheels with a lot of clearance for the AP Racing BBK that they both have.

michaelnyden May 21, 2007 11:42 PM

the spoke design on all RPF1's allow for rediculous clearance (they bow significantly!)...I think you should be fine...

The Law May 22, 2007 01:11 AM

Thanks for the info.

Hmm, still spewing the BS I see.
Only some will clear, and some wil very much not clear.

17x8.5 40mm clears, 17x8.5 30mm may not clear since the spokes are a little straighter.

Negative. Larrio's wheels have less than 1mm of clearance. The RPF1's spoke design varies a lot with different sizes/offsets. Hopefully no more people here will buy them.

michaelnyden May 31, 2007 12:37 PM

I guess he got one of the nasty offsets then...they do come in many options...eg. 17x8.5 come in +30 & +40...

I test fit mine over ap racing calipers one time on another 5th gen they fit fine...
