Need an opinion...

Sup guys, I'm currently driving WDP TL and it's sitting on Enkei RPF1's 17x9 Fr. and 17x10 rear. I got an offer to trade for some '98 Mustang Saleen stocks that are 18x9 and 18x10 and i'm just wondering if you guys think it'll look dope. Let me know. Thanks

Pics of wheels:

they actually look pretty good on that rsx .... its a simple 5 spoke design and will probably work well with the TL... what is the offest of the rims?

The offsets are +19 fr and +15 rear.. I just love the concave too.. I think it'll look good and still stand out..

Test fit them before you buy them ..that offset might give you some issues with rubbing.

Yeah I'm planning on it. But I dont think there will be any issues cause that RSX is dropped and I don't think fenders are rolled. Should be a nice fitment though.

18x10 +15 offset? Yea if you are lowered you will have problems with that. And if you aren't they are gonna stick out. You sure those are the offsets of the wheels? Not sure how that RSX is fitting those, what's the stock offsets on RSXs?

This is a +35 offset and a 1" drop .. camber is -1.11 ... as you can see there isn't a lot of clearance .. the RSX might have different clearances than the TL.

yea a 18"x10" with a +15 offset can work but you would have to roll rear fenders and run a 225/40 tire in the rear...

that is pretty crazy if an rsx can fit those... wide rims and low offsets i didnt know they would have that much room in them to fit that type/size of rim

here is how my rear rim sits on my tl being a 19"x9.5" +15... i cut every last piece of my inner fender out and i still rub

My car doesn't sit as low as yours Murph.. Looks like a good fitment though.. Only thing left is to try the wheels and see how they sit on the car... If any issues i'll be able to work it out from there...

My car isn't slammed to a point I don't have room to play with.. I got some decent space to use...

Edit:::: Offsets are +25 and +20

Rears are 18x10 with a 245/40.. Front are 18x9 with 225

And rolling and tucking was the plan

yea it would probably fit a bit better with a 235 series in the rear... lets see what you can do with the 245 first thought

May I ask where you got your fenders rolled? I'm digging the setup.
