My car + curb=New wheels
Please don't hate, but I had a little accident and now I'm looking for new wheels. The stock BBS wheels are 700$ and I'm not very happy with them any way because they have lots of chips in the paint from every day driving. So I was looking at the ENKEI RPF1 18x8 with 45mm off set. Gruppe-S states that they will clear the brembos. But I thought that only 48mm and above would work. If any one can help me or give me a little direction i would be very thankfull.

It is recommended to stay around +48 to +53 offset, however +45 shouldn't be a problem. I run +42 offset 18's on my car, lowered too and I don't have any problems whatsoever. Not even any rubbing issues.

I believe the 17" 5x100 RPF1s have a .48 offset.
I have a set of 16" RPF1s on my Civic (I just got my WRX to replace it, but haven't sold it yet), and they are great rims. Very light, easy to clean, and you don't see them every day either.
