Anyone have info on clearance with bbk? Looking into a 18" NT03 or RPF1 Searching on other message boards seems to come up with mixed answers.

From what I have read on here 17" RPF1 is to small for a BBK but 18" seams to work. I know TeamRX8 has a BBK with 18' RPF1's

I was set on a set of RPF1s, I looked through this ENTIRE post and now I think I'm going NT03. Its been such a classic design for a long time, remember when I saw them for the first time on a Subaru Rally car. Only issue I see is the offset, in the 18x9.5 its a 40 offset. Id run a 255/40/18 tire, and a maybe an 1" lowering (2010 R3). Would I have rub issues?

I've been liking the idea of running 17's more and more each time I go through this thread. Yep, looks like I'll be going with RPF1's in 17x10 +38 w/ 275/40/17's.

Funny, I was just looking at a set of those exact wheels - Enkei RPF1 38mm offset 5x114 for RX8, 17x10

Running them with 275/40s would sit pretty flush with the fender I assume?

Count me in the Enkei club. I'm transitioning from Work XD9s to NT03 SBCs. Already placed an order and will take about a month to arrive from the factory. I'll take pictures as soon as I receive and mount them.
