Enkei Rpf1 offset +35 or +41?

Getting some wheels, Enkei Rpf1 15x7, anyone know which offset is better? I see most people got the +41, I'm just curious if the +35 would work as well(clear stock calipers?)? probably look better? Thanks in advance!!

I think the +35 would look better. You'll have to cut off the rear bumper mounting screws, but it's worth it.

You will have to do more than cut the rear bumper screws... I have the +41s with 195/55s and I rubbed pretty bad in the front. I was lowered with Tein springs, but now I'm on the J's/Showa suspension and I no longer rub.

I'd go with the +41. It wont look as good as the 35 but i like to play it safe on new cars. LOL. and too bad they dont make the gold RPF1s in the smaller sizes. the gold ones look clean!

I'm pretty sure Jerome (BoriJDMGD3) has +35... his car sits really nice. Want function? Go with +41... Want looks? Go with +35

I'd go with the +35. I like having a wider stance.

i would do +41 on the front and +35 on the rear for a nice flush look.

Anyone have +35 with stock suspension running 195/55s? I am thinking that shouldn't be a problem. Any differences in performance between +35 and +41? I saw one website listing the +41 as half a pound lighter than +35. Anyone have any insight into these issues? Thanks.

Just picked up the RPF1 15" (41 offset) on Dunlop Star Spec (195/55/15). On Skunk2 ProCs. No rubbing.







There's a lot more sidewall (compared to the RPF1 16s). No center caps. Need to look for some.

In comparison...here's what the RPF1 16" look like:

It may look nice but with 195 or bigger it will rub even with stock suspension +40 is the limit for 195 55/15s.

I got the RPF1 15s specifically so I could run the Dunlop Star Spec 195/55/15 ($85 @ tire) for autocross. I have the RPF1 16s but the tires I wanted were $170 each! I was worried I'd be rubbing w/ the 41 offset...but luckily...no rubbing.

I ordered the '02-'08 Honda CR-V center caps (#44732-S9A-A00, CenterCaps.net - Cap Listing - Honda Details - CR-V). Hopefully, they'll work ok. If not...meh...

Raton,

Looks good.

How do the Dunlops feel on the street?

If you like them too much you might not put your S.Drives back on after autocross.

During test and tune are you going to bring the dunlops?
If so that would be best. You get to put in some practice runs on them.
Try out some different pressures.
