Wheel Fitment Help.(Te37's)

I picked up a set of Te37's the other day for my FD. The specs are: 18x8.5 offset is +30 for the front. Rear is 18x9.5 offset is+35. Car is on Tein Coil Overs. Really want these to fit. From what i have read it will be close. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

you should be alright, i got 18x9.5 +22 ce28n's on my car, haven't drove on it yet but looks to be very minimal rubbing if any at all, you have about 0.5" more clearance than my set up so i think it'll be alright

what size tires are you running? i'm on a 265/40/18

Funny, I'm on TE37s (17x8.5 +40, 17x9.5 +40), looking to get a set of RPF1s (17x8 17x9, +35 or +45) for DD!

What size/offset are your RPF1s?

You should be able to run 235/40-18 and 265/35-18 without a problem with your new wheels.

Ah, see you want to run 245 or 255 up front. 245/35-18 should fit easily with rolled fenders. 255, maybe...

275/40-18 rears = 26.5", kinda tall, no?!

Its not tall enough! LOL

This car will be making 700+whp, i would ike to put a taller tire. But for street use, that tire should work. If you are intrested in the RPF 1's. Let me know. I will make ya a deal on them.

For reference, I'm on 255/40-17 Star Specs up front on +40 offset and the right front has tweaked the unrolled fender lip a bit. Rolled, I would bet you could run 255/35-18s on +30. Couldn't say anything about the monstro-size rears!

What size/offset/condition are the RPF1s?
