All 4 of my 18x9 +35 Enkei RPF1s arrived. Test fitted the wheel and it barely clears front caliper. Anyway.. They are getting installed tomorrow morning on stock 225/45 tires. I don't like the stretch but will use up the tread then I'm gonna get 245/40 tires. Shouldn't look too bad!

Got them on. Looks really good imo. Rpf1 and TE37 are probably my top 2 favorite wheels. The rpf1 a lot cheaper. Pics up this weekend when I have time to take them

Looks good! A 245 series tire will definitely fit better and take up some of the gap...

I'm not to concerned about the gap. I'm more concerned about grip. Not a big fan of the slight stretch either.

Yeah I second the stretch looked opinion. I def prefer a more squared off tire. I've got Hankook Ventus Evo V12's in a 245. Very happy with the performance!

Thanks! I was actually trying to go with gold or black but they don't have those colors for 18x9.... I figured silver would look fine. Good thing about white is it goes well with almost any color wheel

I had the Hankook Ventus Evo 12 on my 2008 STI before. Great tire for the price. Since my TC sees 50 miles daily in rain/shine/snow im sticking with all weather tires. Most likely General GMAX as03 245/40. Bang for the buck!

Just and FYI... If you want to increase your cars acceleration please invest in light weight wheels. I've had the rpf1 on for a few days now. 8lbs less per corner compared to stock. . . the car flies. It picks up speed. It likes to rev. Well worth the investment. I've read articles of people testing wheels weighing 3-4lbs less with good performance results on cars like an EVo with plenty of engine power. The difference 8lbs lighter wheel on an underpowered engine like the TCs is huge.

Matter of fact. .. I noticed the difference the 1st night driving 20 miles home after install of the RPF1s. This was driving WITH the stock wheels in the trunk... (100+) lbs in the trunk. I believe my Car with the RPF1s on and stock wheels in the trunk I would beat my stock setup with nothing in the trunk in a race. . . something about rotational weight most likely.

Loving the way my car drives right now. Intake + unichip + light@$$ wheels.
