Another wheel/offset/suspension question. 18x9.5
Sooo.. I know im probably going to be harassed about not searching the forums and such but here goes. So there only seems to be one post on 18x9.5 on all four corners so I am trying to get clarification on this. Here is what I want to do. I want to run 18x9.5 with 255/35/18 on all four corners. I have Apexi S1 dampners. Im not sure if this is 2.5" or not. Can someone answer this for me first. Secondly the only offset that has been posted to my findings is +45. Will this work with my setup for both the front and the rear. Is anyone else running this exact setup? If so did you have rubbing issues. I dont mind rolling the fenders if need be.

I'm running Volk SE37A 18x9.5 +45 with 265/35/18 all the way around using coilovers with 2.5 in. springs and stock trailing arms. No rubbing in back, could go 285/30. Slight rubbing in front with 25-1/2 in. ride height, needs to be rolled.
If you search 18x9.5 +45mm there are many hits.

Thanks I will try searching with the +45. I just wasnt sure if that offset would work. And I couldnt find anything. I tried looking at the excel spreadsheet post and it didnt have anything exactly like this size. I couldnt figure out the measurements on my own for the back spacing and such that shows how to measure everything. So I decided to just post.

I would like to keep the car high enough that I can actually put a real jack under it. Matco tools makes a jack called the low pro it stands 2 1/2 inches but im not going that low. I want to keep it high enought that I can drive it on the streets without dragging on a speed bump.

You didn't state what the car is, but from the +45 reference I guess it is an FD.
My FD has 18x9.5 with +38 offset Enkei PRF1's on all four corners.
Tires are 285/30/18 Kumho V710, which required rolling fenders.
With the 255 tires I wouldn't expect to roll the fenders.

With +45 and 255/35 you just need to fold back the fender liner tabs.
This is a very common fitment that we offer in the Enkei RPF1.
You can do 265's as mentioned but that will require a minor amount of fender mods up front, rear is no problem.
