For the RPF1's a +45mm won't clear the brakes (unless you have the BBK kit), +38mm will be flush, and anything lower than that will be poking out.

 

thanks alex i really want those rpf1's.

 

As do I. lol. What offset is your friend selling you? If you want to get an idea of what they look like, find ptuning on fb. They put 18x9.5 +38 on 265/35/18 tires. I would probably do 255/40/18 but it looks sick.

 

The link Mamba posted should teach you more about offsets. But to sum it up, a higher offset sits closer. Some rim styles won't clear even if they're the same size as others. I am very well informed on RPF1's and CR Kai's because they're the rims I want. If you want to get a good idea of what a low offset rim looks like, look at jtk2's thread. I believe he's running +18mm on a 10" rim. He's really poking.

 

my friend has the rpf1's on his Evo and hes only had these rims for 2 months and hes getting custom rims so he sold them to me but im just hoping they fit and as far as the offset i dont remember but i will find out in a few minutes when he calls me. those rpf1's here sick! im getting them in Silver i just hope they fit the stock tires

 

i just went to wheelsnext.com and clicked on 18+9.5 and said it wouldnt fit the 2011 scion tc.

 

1stone has them, PTuning has them. They fit.

 

They fit. 1stOne has them. And if they're the +45 offset, just get some 7mm spacers.

 

ok thanks guys i was all kinda bummed cuz i really want them. would i need the spacers i was just thinking of rolling the fenders. would i need the spacers? can someone post 1stones thread so i can look at his rims?

 

didnt 1stone use bigger tires? i want the rims to fit the stock scion Toyo tires for now. will they still fit? or will there be a clearence issue with the stock brake calipers?

 

Yea, he used the tires that were proper for that rim size. You can stretch a 225 on a 9.5" rim (My friend did it on his Works). Did you figure out the offset? The tire doesn't matter as much as the offset.

 

I have 215/35 on 18x9 ;)

 

my friends offset is 15

 

18+9.5 15 offset

 

i dont think it will fit now with the 15 offset

 

I have a 14 offset and they poke. Just don't SLAM your car, if you do, roll your fendys

 

im on Tein lowering springs. did u have to do any mods to fit the 14 offset? would i have to do anything since im on the tein springs?? i dont care if they poke as long as they fit and look good

 

allow me to thread jack just for a quick sec while i have some expertise on here...

if enkei RP03's 18 x 9.5 + 38 would be "flush"
would the 18 x 9 + 40 be flush as well?

reason i ask is because the 9.5 is 21.0 lbs and the 9 is 18.3 lbs - every pound counts!
