Enkei RPF1 19x8.5/9.5 +42?
Hey guys,
I was looking at some aftermarket rims (I have a few in mind), and I came across the Enkei RPF1. They are reasonable, durable, and lightweight. I believe they are one of the lightest aftermarket rims on the market. I know it's quite difficult to find the right rims for the F, but I don't really want to shave/roll my fenders. Shaving/Rolling probably sounds worse than it is, but I am going to try to avoid it as much as possible.
Anyway I know some members on here are running them on track days. Most I have seen are 18x8.5/9.5 +45. I'm looking for rims for daily driving. I know they BARELY clear our bbk without spacers. But I was wondering what about the 19x8.5/9.5 +42? I would believe there will be slightly more concavity in the 19". Will the 19" clear the bbk enough to not worry about them taking off the lexus logo on our calipers?
Any info or input on these rims is appreciated! Thanks!

The 8.5 fronts will be slightly conVEX, but the 9.5 will have some good concavity.
Check out the set that sold last weekend.....Those had 22mm offsets, so 42mm offset would take away even more concavity.

Looks like they're +45s. I don't think you'd get 285s on the front with a +35 offset. +45 is the same as stock. Actually, in that thread you talked a lot about the RPF01s and how they were going to scrape the Lexus off the calipers because the fit was so tight.

I bought the 18's with 35 offset all around.
SCCAForums, The ones you have are +45 according to your post in the IS-F section.
Difference is that the IS-F has hubs that are between 1/2inch to 1 inch longer/wider than the ISx50. I will know exactly how much wider in 3-4 days as I am swapping is-f brakes onto my is250 so the hub bearings are being replaced with new is-f hubs.
Here is your post about the rpf1
I test fit the RPF1's as well... the nice thing about the PF01 is another 1/2" of Caliper Clearance inside the wheel 'drum'... and more than 1" of caliper clearance from the face of the wheel. The RPF1's were VERY CLOSE to 'wiping off' the 'LEXUS' letters off the brake caliper.

Thanks... yeah... I knew it was close... didn't remember how close. Yeah... Drum clearance was just as scary as the 'face' clearance was on the RPF1, but that was in an 18... Drum Clearance shouldn't be an issue in 19's... but the caliper face clearance is going to be scary, albeit it didn't 'rub' when hanging 'free' on the lift, with wheel off the ground, but I never mounted a tire, and applied any load.
The 35's in the 'F' will stick out some in the front... I originally ordered that size I believe, in the RPF1's, and went for the 45's in the PF01's... it will put you within an 1/8" of the inner 'arm'... and a 19 will change the circumference contact point... so definitely test fit the 19's unmounted first.
Let us know how it goes!

Thanks everyone for the comments!
I like the design on the RPF1. I was also thinking about the PF01's but they don't have those in 19"s.
I will think about it, but I will probably go with another rim.
Thanks guys!
