Just an update with my current wheel setup.
Previous are rota gkr 18x9 offset +36 (i guess) on 245/40 tires. Used 25mm wheel spacer adaptor upfront for flush look.
Im now running on square 18x9.5 offset +30 rota IKR (not sure if same with grid, mine are concaves)
tires are 265/35
I used 12mm spacers upfront to clear the factory brembos. Had no choice but to use spacers since this set are concaves that's why I cannot clear the brembos. I was forced to have the factory wheel studs replaced with longer sets upfront since the theead of factories are no longer sufficinet due to the 12mm plate spacers. Also used voltex street wide fenders to have a flush look. Still having a little rub upfront when steering in full.
No problems with the rear.
Will post pictures later.

The rear ride height could be a bit lower with too much gap IMO. What rear fender work was done because it appears you may need a rear roll w/those 265's & the +30

yup. might still play with height and camber adjustments.
fortunately still no rear fender work was done so I still have allowances. might get a voltex rear kit and sides for this. will just run on spacers for the rear.

it's too bad I dislike the rpf1's. I can get 17x9s for about $900. looks like the come in +22 and +35, +22 is probably safest for clearing the brakes, and will just require a roll.
okay based on what I'm seeing - 17x9 +22 won't clear the brembos? I'd have to do 17x9.5 +18s to clear the brembos, which would be a nightmare fitment in the rear is that right? I'd have to get +38s, and run a 20mm spacer in the front?
::
I'm leaning towards the CE28SL's - I wanted the RE30 club sports but it looks like they don't come in the right offset. So, CE28SL in 17x9 +22, or 17x9.5 +28 - if both fit I think the 17x9 is more appealing to me, less lip/concavity that I detest

What about the new Advan RGD? 17x9 +29?

Did a search here & did not find any hits on the GTX wheel. If you can give me a size youre interested in I will do the math for you & let you know what type of work will be needed to fit
If you want an idea, look for something in these ranges. 18 x 9 / 18 x 9.5 / 17 x 9 / 17 x 9.5 in the +25 to +35 range
