i put on a set of enkei rp01's not too long ago and the 275/35/18 tires rub very slightly against the inner part of the fender. is there any way to fix this? i heard that you can take a razor and scrape off the plastic part...any other ideas or know if this works? thanks

 

get to a body shop and have them roll the fenders.

 

a razor?? Nope. YOu can take the plastic piece off and trim it and then screw it back on, I actually cut some of the lip off the fender with a metal cutter(high speed), it was a bitch too. I only rubbed on one side with my 285/35 18's on, mine are on RP01's also, do you have pics of the car????

You can gain a little clearance from just removing the black fender trim.

Next is either rolling or trimming the fender. Light clearance problems can be rolled, otherwise trimming with an airsaw is the best and cleanest way.

 

thanks guys. i just added pics of my car under the gallery too.

 

what size wheels are you guys using with the Rpo1's? I "m thinking of buying a set but I want the largest wheel that will fit in the front and rear. I was hoping a 9 inch would fit in the front and a 9 1/2 in the rear? any ideas? I know the 8 1/2 will fit in the front. What size tires are you using on the front?
Thanks, and I like the look of those wheels on your sc

95 sc 400 pearl white.

 

i am running 245/35/18 in the front at 275/35/18 in the rear. the rim width for my fronts is 8.5 and the rear is 9.5.

 

You can actually fit up to a 9"F/10.5"R on that car.

The picture here shows 20x9 and 20x10.5

 

Hey Todd
Is thatMaroon one your new riide? Whats with that drag car of yours?

 

Naw, just a customer's car.

It will be in The Fast and the Furious in a few scenes whatever that's worth. I'm sure that movie will be pretty gay.

It was for sale, but he got impatient and just took everything off and traded it in on a WRX.

My car hmmmmmm...Holley Performance is prototyping a few parts for it so I gotta wait until they are done. A couple other companies are making some parts too, so I told them I'll just wait on them. Oh well I guess it'll be done when it's done. I was hoping to have it done for Nopi or SEMA, there's quite a few companies that are wanting it in their booths, but if it's not done that isn't gonna happen =(

Maybe CES in Vegas!

 

DoubleWhoosh, what kind of parts is Holley making for the SC300?

 

double whoosh,

Do you have any more pics of the garnet red lexus with the 20's? From the shot you posted it looks really sweet. I am trading up my rims and am looking for some good photos. What type of rim is that?
