I'll be going with the Enkei RPF1 too, been looking at them for a while, just got the money today so I'll be ordering them tomorrow. I'm going with 17" x 9" +35, 17" x 10" +38 for the rears, with 245/45, 275/40 Yoko S.drive. Should fit pretty good. What do you guys think? :)

BorHor they look sick on your car! Eventhought I'm not a fan of stretched tires. lol
But now I know the RPF1 looks really well on mk3's.

wheres your broken taillight failman

I made Lange Fix it and replace it and seal it with a new pretty Toyota gasket a few days ago.

Also, that pic is before the taillight massacre. you can see that there is no big circular scratch in the paint on the bumper below the light. :biglaugh:

i got a new one for cheaps from Randy @ BIC (Thanks a million if you see this randy!:icon_bigg)

Yeah it should. Except that I'll have 17"x9" at all 4 corners now. :icon_evil The 17x10 are backorder 2-3months and more. My 275 tires should fit well on the 9" rims anyway, let's just say I'm gonna save some money over that. BTW the shop I'm buying them gives me the center caps for free, another 100+$ saved there!! :icon_bigg Should receive them tomorrow.

so what are you going to so with the tires?
put the 245's all around since the wheel is on backorder ?
Go baller status with the 275's all around? :wink:
Or keep the 245/275 combo?

Well I was thinking of keeping the 245/275 combo....but since you suggest other combos, it makes me think...:confused: I'm sure tho, I don't want 245 all around! lol

275 is a good idea...maybe 265 or 255 in front. I was thinking in the first place to upgrade later on the front to 255 or more and 285 at the rears.

What would be best? not much rubbing with 275 in front you think? lol

Well there's some good chances I paid less cause I got 17" not 18" :p....tires cost much less too. :icon_bigg We could discuss who paid more than the other tho. ;)
I can wait to see what you'll come up for your custom center caps! :)

BTW BoHor I need those Muteki or whatever Neo chrome lug nuts like you have for your Enkei's!! :naughty:

Tell me how much you paid and I will tell you if I paid more or less, only if you want to play the who got a better deal game :). And if you want lug nuts we just ran out of the short ones like mine but we have the longer ones. If you want the shorter ones I can see when we are getting it in though.

there's not much rubbing on my 275's up front, very minimal. no rubbing whatsoever in the rears. I'm on Tokico Blues/Eibach Pro Kit. With a 9" wheel, I think a 255 would be good.

I was more kidding than serious about the price lol

I'll send you a pm concerning the lug nuts.

Yeah I might go 255 right away.
I'm stock suspension for now. I'm ordering some sway bars shortly than go with Eibach Pro kit/Koni combo, or some coil-over (Megan maybe, really don't know yet).

Hey.. the wheels I'm looking at are 18x8+35 and 18x9+30
I was thinking 235/40 and 265/35 for tires.
I probably won't drop it much whenever I get to it.
Sound like a good fit?

The 8"+35 front will stick in more than you'd like. (Go with a lower offset.) 9"+30 rear will fit well. Your tire selection is fine.
