Ricebox, as already said, your car sits perfectly. What wheel and tyre specs?

Just got my new RPF1's.
17x10 +38 Square
255/40/17 Falken Azenis RT615k+
Rolled fenders f+r (rears probably not needed with this camber)
Front Camber -2.2*
Rear Camber -1.8* (I will probably bring this back to around -1 or so)
Caster is about 9.5*
No Rear rubbing. Rubs the front driver side liner on very sharp right turns (like parking), and the front pass side slightly rubs the top of the liner on larger dips. I think this is due to ride height, but I am maxed out height wise with these Quantum T5-RS's... Anyone know of a strut top spacer or something to get a little more height? My driver side liner is a bit beat up and torn in front of the wheel from the previous owner. Hoping a fresh liner fixes this.

Does anyone have any experience with how much caster affects wheel position on an FD? I am running about 9.5* which seems a little high to me, and getting a little rub in the front of the driver side liner when doing near full lock turns, like parking. The guy at the alignment shop just said to leave it because he didn't think it would change wheel position much and "more is always better with caster". On my STi, adding caster moved the wheels forward a decent bit, but that is a McPherson strut car.

Will 18x9.5 et 45 fit all around with either 255/35r18 265/35r18 tires? Would i need spacers on the rear to get them flush?
It's lowered on cusco coilovers with at least the front fenders rolled. I forgot to check the rears.

Make an assessment...

With that size and offset you'll probably need spacers on the front and rear to get them flush. I had 9.5 +22 years ago and they sat pretty flush on the front but you'll definitely need to roll the fender. Might want to back off from that just a tad actually, maybe +25 or +30 just to be safe. On the rear you'd need quite a bit more to be flush but I don't remember the offsets I had in the past to give you an idea and my fenders have been flared since 2009. I believe I posted all that info with pics in this thread though.

I ended up getting the other set in silver, exactly the same size. (But the finish is not as mint as your set...)
Looks like I'll need a 25mm spacer up front (I'm running 225/40/18 for the time being) and at least 15mm out back!!

Yeah, a little more than I wanted to pay for these wheels, but I've never seen a full set of bronze FS before, so I had to win no matter what. You have +38 offset too all around? This set is sunk in compared to the aggressive TEs I had on before. I might consider spacers in the future.
