18x9.5 +45, okay all around?

Looking at a set of Enkei RPF1's and wondering if this will work all around . . . . i heard a 18x9.5 +47 would work and was pondering if the -2mm would mess it up. I may be going with H&R's or Rs*R racing springs, i already have tokico's. Thanks- Clayton T.

It would probably work with stiffer springs and higher ride height (ala coilovers), but with the typical lowering springs, you're going to be catching the front lip right and left....

EDIT: It may work ok with rolled fenders. A better wheel choice would be the SSR Comps or GT-2s in 18x9.5 +50 all-around.

It's referring to the offset. Follow the links in the technical sticky above and you'll find everything you need.
