Do you happen to know this for 18"? Preferably with no rolling/pulling.

See this thread here / Post no. 94 / 18x9.5 +38. Depending on tire size a rear roll may be needed

Will 18x9.5 +15 rpf1's fit on my car with stock Bilsteins and Tein s-tech springs? Fenders are rolled, and tires are 235/40. I may possibly get these through a trade, just unsure of fitment. I know, I know. S tech springs and Bilsteins are not meant for each other, but thats what the car came with. Want to know if it will work for the time being until I find some decent coilovers. Decided on either 17x9+35 or 18x9.5+15. I came across the 18's first.

Hey Josh

There are a few guys that have run the +15's & some of them will say they fit. The truth of the matter, IMO, is they will cause fitment issues in the rear. Some guys have made them fit by running out of spec rear camber, stretched tires & raising the ride height (its a show spec vs a performance spec)
BTW, 235's are not recommended on a 9.5" wheel

If youre looking to fit wheels that fully tuck & will clear so you can exercise the suspension properly stick w/a range of +25 to +38 (the lower the offset, the more rear fender work is required)

I was worried that would be the response I got. I figured they probably wouldn't fit too well. Especially since I plan on trying to run a 255 or slightly larger. My car is not tracked, 99.9% street driven as it is currently my daily. Looking for something flush, but not extreme. Still want to run a meaty tire, I love the wide/aggressive look. So many sizes and offest choices with the rpf1, makes it hard to decide when you cant test fit them on the car.

I think passing on that +15 is the right thing. Let me know if you have any other prospects / ideas

I run a 275/40 on a +30, 9.5" wheel so I can appreciate the aggressive spec youre looking for

Yeah, the more I research it the less I want them. I've seen some 17x9+35 setups with a 255 tire and very nice fitment. Might just go that route. Will a 10mm spacer on the rear with the +35 make extended studs necessary? Have extended in the front and stock in the rear. Thanks for the help by the way, im not used to such good service on these threads lol.

The use of any spacer pretty much requires longer studs. 17x9 +35 w/the 255 will look very meaty

A rear roll is all that is necessary

Right on, I appreciate the help man.

those SSR GTV02's look pretty good - 17x9, what offset to fit 255/40-17 without rubbing, front or rear?

^^^Do they come in +35? At that offset coupled w/the meaty 255/40 a rear roll would be needed running no more than -1.8 degrees of rear camber

I'm seeing them at 22, 38, 45 - would 45 be the best as far as fitment then?

No way on the +45. They would need spacers on all 4 corners (you dont want to do that?). Wonder what the +38's look like? Most +38's have convex spokes & are not too pleasing to look at. & the +22 as you know if tough to fit

Ill have to search them out a bit to see if other EVO's are running them

here are some details

so we're trying to clear 3 things when looking at wheels, correct? brakes, suspension struts, and fenders? and fender lining is in play depending on tire size.

I'm actually running 245/45-17 on 17x8 oem wheels right now, no rubbing.
