18x9.5 +35 front +27 rear? Or +17? On fd with coilovers

Want to run 265 rear maybe narrower front... Not looking to run stupid camber or stretch anything, performance is the key, car is a daily and mountain caver

 

Fronts are the issue..I used to run 18 x 9.5 Enkei RPO1,s I think it was a low 40,s offset up front and I ran a 255/35 without any problems...(sans the 10mm bolt at the top)

Rears 265 sounds about right.

 

Rolled or untouched fenders? Big difference.

 

Fronts are rolled and just slightly pulled, rears stock fenders but I'd roll to fit

 

for a 9.5 would +17 or +27 sit best with 265 or 275

 

I've posted this before in my build thread--what I've found is great streetable flush fitment with rolled fenders that works for me is:

18x9.5 +33 front with 255/35
18x10 +27 rear with 265/35

That rear fitment is equivalent to a ~+20 on a 9.5 in the rear.

You could go with the +27 if you wanted to rock 275/35, with the option of a thin 5mm slip-on spacer.

You could also go with the +17 if you were cool with the 265/35.

hope this helps!

 

^ What would be perfect fitment if you didn't want to roll your fenders and you were on H&R springs? Or Stance coilovers

 

You're the man

 

Add about 15-17mm front and back, so like a 9.5 plus 48-50 front and 10 plus 43ish rear. You may have issues inboard with the wider OEM shock/spring setup if not running coilovers. Definitely less room for error w/untouched fenders, especially in the front.

Thanks! Just experimented with lots of sizing combos over the years and found what worked for me

 

IIRC my last set of RPF1 were +45 all around. This time around I have a BBK in the front. So what you're saying is I can't run anything from 40 and down without rolling my fenders? I want a nice aggressive fitment but don't want to roll my fenders too much when I get new rims. I guess I will have to

 

'Nice aggressive fitment' and 'unrolled OEM fenders' are pretty much mutually exclusive

 

Rolling fenders isn't bad. Just don't get in a rush. I bought one of the Chinese rollers on eBay for 70 bucks or something and went to town.

 

If you have coilovers, IMO you should run more + offset than +27 if you want to avoid running "stupid" camber. That said, camber of 1.5, 2, 2.5 and even 3 degrees isn't necessarily stupid, depending on wants/needs/usage. I run -3 front, -2 rear street/track. With -2 degrees, I think 255/35-18 on +35 should fit up front with rolled fenders. With less camber, more likely to rub.

In back I'd definitely go +27 over +17. Why not the same +35 as fronts? Stock had same +50 offset all around.
For my FD, 17x8.5 +40 F, 18x9.5 +45 R for street wheels, no rubbing worries whatsoever and scrub radius much closer to stock. Flushness has never been a priority for me, but of course tastes vary...

 

im going to be running this on my car!

thank you

18x9.5 +34 front with 255/35/18
18x9.5 +20 rear with 265/35/18

 

Would you consider running +34 all-around and just using a 15mm spacer out back so that you can rotate?

 

With this, is it reasonable to say 18x9.5 +40 might work in front running a 245 tire without a roll?
