Need help: 18" Enkei Raijin wheels
Hi All,
See below
CT200h Stock OEM wheel:
17x7.0 5x100 +45
bore diameter: 54.1
tires: 215/45/17
V.S.
Enkei Raijin:
18x8.0 5x100 +45
bore diameter 73
tires: 215/40/18
Per offset calculator: -13mm on inner side and extend 13mm on outer side (based on +45)
Link: http://www.enkei.com/raijin.shtml
My questions:
1) Will this setup be possible for my CT?
2) The Enkeis comes in +32 offset as well, should I go with +45 or +32?
3) Should I go with 225/40/18 or 215/40/18?
4) The bore diameter is quite different, will this wheel even fit for CT?
Thanks in advance!

The wheel looks to be fine as a fitment. The ideal offset in 18X8 would be around 38+, so I would do the 45+ offset option which gives you the option of adding a 5mm spacer to move the wheel out more. Either tires size will fit on the 8" wheel and be fine for the vehicle. Keep in mind the 215/40R18 size will require an Extra Load or Reinforced tire using minimum 34psi.

Thx Zig!
"Keep in mind the 215/40R18 size will require an Extra Load or Reinforced tire using minimum 34psi. "
What tire would you recommend ? (All season) I wanted to keep 215 to stay as OEM as possible.
And do you think I can re-use my OEM TPMS?
I am ready to order from you guys...

Yes, you can reuse your OEM TPMS sensors. The 2 very best all-season tires in that particular size and extra load/XL rated would be:
Continental Extreme Contact DWS
General G-Max AS-03

General G-Max AS-03

Sorry I am a noob at this...
But if I were swap the OEM TPMS to the new wheels (locally), I should request NOT to have them mount and balance from you guys at purchase? The TPMS is installed on the rim inside the tire correct?
