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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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...
