Exclamation Enkei RPF - 1 / tein flex project

Gents and ladies,

Will Enkei RPF 1 18 x 8 with a 35 offset all around work for a 2004 rx8 6 speed? I also have tein flex coilovers that i am going to add to the suspension. Going to take pictures when this project is over. Probably going to add the EDFC unit too while i am at. Cost and all expenses will be added and posted at the end. I currently using streetdreams.org for rim supplies....prettty cheap and no tax and shipping cost.....

thanks

Yes that will fit no problems. Should be able to run a 245/40/18 all the way around as well.

The fitments are listed on our site here. We have a low price guarantee for forum guys if you're interested.

There is also a 18x9.5 you can fit front and rear with 275's if you wanted. I might be getting a shipment of those shortly.

Happy with 18X9.5

For what it is worth I am pleased to own 18X9.5s with 275/35s. Also happy with my new Mac Pro. My first hour with a Mac.

For sure! I've been debating on whether or not I will do it before or after sevenstock. On the one hand I want to show everyone the difference, but on the other hand I'm worried about my gas mileage on that long *** trip.
