hey eveyone looking at buying some 15 inch rp01s.

cheers

How wide are they.

I doubt you'll have a problem, I have 15'x6.5' wheels +40 offset with 205/50/15 tyres. And I've got tons of room, much more than another 5mm.

best thing would be to give them a try.

+45 is Honda offset, they will fit but wont quite look right as theyll sit quite far inside the guard line

thanks asec,

does anyone know if rp01s cam in a 38/40 offset?

Mate, honestly - you're not going to notice if the wheel is sitting 5mm further in/out.

RP-01's are popular wheels, don't turn your nose up at them over 5mm offset difference.

ok im not really in the know on offset, thought id better ask first

cheers

Without going into it, the higher the offset, the further IN they sit.

So the same width rim, one has +45 one has +40, the +45 rim will sit 5mm further in than the other.

thanks man, i may have found some honda mugen lightweight rims, which are nearly identical to rp01s!

Its likely that they're an even higher offest, but it still shouldn't matter.

Yeah I guess 6.5" wide wheels would be alright. When I took my ae101 to the drags I used some 15x6 Mugen wheels on it and they were 45 offset and they looked $&#$% terrible, sat way inside the line of the guards. But yeah try them out and see how they look

by **Pies** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 9:56 am

your gonna want 15x7 with a 0 offset. phat.

by **bluemaumau** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:01 am

okay so 45 will sit inside the guard, how will 7" wide wheels with 35p be? rubbing?

by **vvega** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:11 am
