Advice on this wheel please Opine



Click on thumbnail for large view

This is a Enkei ZR-1 in SBC finish, I can't decide on 18" or 19". Think this will look tight on a silver Type-S?

That's a nice wheel. I checked the Enkei site and the wheels with the 5x114.3 bolt circle that a Type-S would need don't have enough offset (+40mm on a 7.5" or 8" wide wheel).

They'll rub, sorry.

so enkei wheels will not fit? What offset do I need for 18" and 19" wheels (and yes I am sure if I did an exhaustive search I would find it but I need to order now, I got a friend whose friend will give me wholesale price on any wheels and tires I want)

But would 18" w/ 1.5 " drop rub or 19" without a drop?

From what I have learned on this forum, they recommend you to have at least a 45 or higher offset for 7.5in rims and 50+ for 8in rims. If not you'll have to cut your rear tabs and modify your fenders and it may still rub depending on your car.

This is another choice, my friends friend is a direct dealer for tsw wheels, I like the enkei more, but would get a bigger discount on this one.
