Correct offset for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5?
 
Can someone tell me what would be an acceptable offset for 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear in Enkei RP01 on an FD. thanks.

preferably, you would want offsets for both in the +40 to +50 range. Some people have gotten +38 in front and back to work without rubbing but you are really pushing it.

these wheels would be coming off a supra... i dunno what the offset is on them :(

The car they are coming off of doesn't have anything to do with the wheels offset.

I have +45mm offsets all the way around for the same wheels sizes. Fits perfect. I think you'd be able to run a little less of an offseit up front, to push the wheels outward a bit more.

i run the rpo-1's in that exact size with +35mm in the front and +38mm in the back.

i have eibach springs around stock struts.

i used ecsta mx's with 235/40 in the front and 275/35 in the rear.

no fender rolling.

the rear JUST touches the lip. a slight rolling of the rear fender lip will solve that.

or you can just run the 265/35 and it "should" clear with no problems.

actually yes it does... cause the correct offsets for that car, could be the wrong offsets for this one ;)

I see what you are saying, but it still has nothing to do with the wheels offset if it is incorrect.

lost cause... lmao

Offset
 
+42 for the front and +45 for the rear The fit is perfect I run 235 in the front and 265 tires in the rear and yes you could good with a wider tire that's really up to you.

while on the topic of offsets... anyone know the correct offset for putting 17x8 rims on an 90 gxl?
