Wow, never thought factory wheels would look this good. Painted or powder coated? Spacers?

Work VS-XX Burning Silver Wheels 18x12.5R +26 O disk, 18x9.5F +45 A disk. Ended up putting a 25mm spacer and longer studs on the rear for a more flush look, at the time they did not have a +1, now they do. Might send them in for modifications.

Those offsets aren't ideal. You will prob want spacers if using any of those.

Zoom,

In your opinion which offsets are ideal with that wheel size?

Did you need any fender work and camber to run this? I'm looking to run 18x10 w/ 265's, but I'm trying to avoid any rolling or any ridiculous amounts of camber.

Your wheel width and tire width aren't the determining factor on fitment.

You didn't state the offset you are trying to use.

Offset is what centers the tire between the fender and suspension.

If you run +50 offset you will have no problems with those sizes.

If you run +38 offset you will have to roll the front fender lip under and run -2.4 degrees camber up front. Rears can be stock fender lips with -1.4 camber.

My old set-up was 18x10.5 +38 and 265/35-18.

It fits the same as my new set-up which is 18x11 +45 and 295/30-18.

Because offset centers the tire between the suspension and the fender.

Play with this site to figure out what I mean if it isn't apparent by reading what I wrote.

Sorry, I should have made is really clear - I was inquiring about the specific setup he said he was running, except that I want to run 265's:

I thought that me quoting him implied I was asking (him) about that specific setup. I'm well aware about how offsets work, but thanks for the tips and giving a few examples of the fitment you've run.

From what I've seen so far, 18x10+50 is the spec to run for 285/295's. I dont really plan to run tires that wide, so I'm curious to how much lower of an offset I can go with a 265 since there may be a mild stretch depending on the tire brand/section width. With my experience, tire width, more specifically, the section width, may have a factor on fitment. I ran a 255 on a 17x9 on my S2000 and had no issues with rubbing. I ran the same size, but a different brand, and ended up having to shave some material off the rear bumper tab due to the tire measuring wider than what I was previously running.

I'm running -2 camber in front and -1.5 camber in rear. The fronts were rolled flat. I had the rears rolled as well, though in hindsight, that was not needed with the current setup.
