18x9.5 or 18x10 for the front?
 
Guys, which one would you recommend for the front for an aggressive set-up?

18x9.5 +38 with 235/40 or 255/35

or

18x10 +38 with 255/35

What I mean by aggressive is minor fender rolling ok, fender pull not ok.

Would 255/35 rub with 9.5" since it stretches the 255/35 less then the 10"?

I'm only asking fronts because I think 18x10 +38 with 265/35 for the rear is pretty much it.

There is always 18x9.5 +45 for the front as plan B but it sits a touch more inside the fender for my liking.

9.5 + 38 with the 255 is probably the better choice.

it would only be 6 mm difference between the 9.5 and 10 on each side.. its really not that much different

but i agree with turbodrx7, 9.5 +38 is a better option

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with this combo:

18x9.5 +38 (F) 235/40
18x10 +38 (R) 265/35

Also with this combination F & R tyre diameters will be the same.

^ I like the semi stretched look. My front wheel tire combo with be the same.

im doing the same...18x9 +25 front.. and 18x10.5 +20 rear. fitment is key.

Hi guys, I know its an old topic but a little help wouldnt be refused.

This week I put Rays Volk F Zero Winning 18x10 +20 on my FD. It looks perfect, but of course I need adjustment.

Will I have to absolutely roll my fenders or negative camber will be the only requirement ?

Thank you!

^Yes, to both questions.

Well, I thought I didnt have to roll my fenders, I am a bit disappointed, but if I dont have the choice, I guess I must add that to my plans.
Thank you Goodfella

You don't have to roll your fenders, provided that you always drive slowly in a straight line, never turn the wheel or go over transitions/bumps.
