I was looking at buying the Enkei PF01's in 18X9.5 for a 2011 GT with Brembos. The +45mm offsets seemed perfect, but they don't sell those in black. Will the +35mm offsets fit under the front and rear fenders? I have a set of 275/35R18s to mount, and I don't plan on going any larger. Also, I eventually plan on lowering the car, possibly with the Ford Racing 1" lowering springs. For those of you with this size wheel and offset, have you had any problems with the suspension geometry creating any excessive wear on the components - balljoints, bearings, etc? Thanks.

If you are worried about it, I have another option in those that won't stick out as far as they offset is about 10mm further in.

Eh? Do you have custom offsets available for those wheels?

Sam Strano

I do my homework.

Meaning...? I just checked your site and it looks like you have the PF01s in silver in 18x9.5 +45. But the OP (and myself as well) is looking for the same size in black but up to this point haven't found them anywhere without custom ordering and waiting.

The 9.5's I use are 45 offset, not 35 offset, they are only available in Silver. I can get Black, but they aren't 9.5's. I have those in stock at the warehouse, did a set last week.

Yeah, that's my problem. I want the black wheels, but I'm not sure if the +35's will fit under the fenders. I read through the forum and have seen that some of you guys use 18x9.5 +35 with 275/35 tires, but that was on 2005-2009 models. Will they still work on the 2011, and if they will, has anybody had any problems with the scrub radius being different or abnormal wear on the suspension components? My stock wheels are the 19x9 +42, so the +35 will push them outboard a little bit and change the geometry slightly. Is this going to be a problem down the road? Thanks for any input.

I run the ENKEI PF01 18x9.5 in black with Toyo RA1 275/35-R18 all around with plenty of clearance. A 45 offset would be slightly better.

Send me a private message...I can get you some from a connection for less than anyone else...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't see a way to send a PM, but I dropped a message on your profile page.

I'm curious about this too not because I want black but because I like when wheels/tires are almost flush with the fender for a more aggressive look. Wondering if the +45 offsets are tucked too far in. Can anyone post side angle shots??
