Enkei RPF1’s on F31

mpm01 · 07-04-2019, 08:11 AM

Anyone running Enkei RPF1’s on a F31, or any newer 3-series? Car in question is a ‘15 328dx wagon. Was considering the RPF1 in 18x8.5 +40mm. Stock suspension and brakes.

...stock wheels are bent due to the lack of meat a 225/45/18 provides.

They'll fit great. Id recommend going up to 235/45/18 for tires. They will sit the same up front as stock wheels with most of the width extending towards the strut and extend 7mm out back.

Actually thinking of going with 245/40/18 in some decent all-seasons as the car is our family party-wagon. Which is essentially the same diameter as my stock 225/45/18. The 245 will provide more meat, even if its a smaller ratio.

its slightly shorter sidewall will provide no gain in comfort. I'd take the sidewall height increase of the 235 over the .3" wider width you are gaining in the 245.

I want the tread width to be within 0.5" of the wheel width. For an 8.5" wheel, I want a tire with tread width of 8"-8.5"; my chosen tire has a tread width of 8.2". So............I could step up to a 245/45/18, but then I have a .7" taller wheel/tire combo.
