Anyone tried the Enkei Kojin 18x9.5 +45 on the FK8?

http://www.unitedspeedracing.com/index.php?id_product=102&controller=product

I'm not sure if the +45 offset is really true because on the ENKEI website I can only find the +35 offset with bolt pattern 5x120?!

For me it's only an option if this rim is available with +45 offset...

There are two versions, +35 and +45. The Enkei website only lists +35 and you can buy that from Tire Rack.

Tire Rack says +45 was discontinued but a few retailers are apparently still carrying them. I called a few retailers, and it appears the +45 are drop shipments and will take 2-3 weeks. It's not clear if the distributor still carries the +45 or not.

Got in contact with "Unitedspeedracing" and they told me that +45 is true but the wheel is at the moment out of stock (make to order, delivery time is 2-3 weeks).

Some wheel inspiration for low/medium budget:

Top left: Enkei Kojin, 18x9.5", +45
Top right: Rota Grid, 19x8.5", +48
Middle: Rota PWR, 19x8.5" +48
Bottom left: VMR V721, 19x9.5" or 19x8.5", +45
Bottom right: VMR V701, 18x9.5" / 18x8.5" / 19x8.5" / 19x9.5", +45

Maybe something for the FK8 too:

OZ Formula HLT 19x9.0" +40 / 18x9.0" +40

I'm not sure if the 18x9.0" clears the front Brembo caliper. Does someone knows that?

Picture is 19x8.5 front and 19x9.0 rear.

Joined the Rey2300 and StealthyK club with the Enkei Raijin 19 and Continental All seasons. They feel great!! Special thanks to Thawk as well for the center cap adapters. Just waiting for my shipment of the Center caps.

Do we require extra load tyres when going down to 19s or 18s wheel?

I notice the factory 20s wheel uses extra load tyres..

Can anyone confirm if Enkei GTC01RR and Enkei RS05RR in 18x9 +50 offset will clear the front caliper ok? Thank you

I got this info from Enkei USA: the GTC01RR 18x9 +50 has the clearance recommend of 5mm or more, the RS05RR is close so a 3mm spacer is recommended.

Who knows some more 18x9.5" +45 offset wheels in the price range <500 USD? It looks like there isn't much more than VMR V701 or Enkei Kojin...

Some more RN-05M 18x9.5 +36 5x120 in Gloss black - BTW they're instock!

Do you also have camber plates for the clearance?

There are people who has the Titan 7 18x9.5 +35 wheels.
There was a guy who tracked it with 265/35/18s on stock suspension and he was fine. @jonnys_honda tracked his eibach lowered car with 255/35/18 offset and he said he experienced no rubbing.
