what offset in the rpf1's would be needed to have this aggressive look. can it be done with say a 35 offset and some spacers?

^ that offset is +15

18x9.5 +15.. the rear fenders need to be pulled, rolled or shaved. The car was running 235/40/18s.. so if you wnat to run larger sized tires, you would need to run more negative camber.

Would those wheels require spacers?

Can i acheive something similar to this look with a 245/40/18 tire on a 18x9.5 +38 offset with spacers and some fender work?

Or do i want to go with a +15 offset and roll the fenders?

I'm not sure. Try Speed Element since I know they like running nice offsets and they have a good deal of experience with many wheels.

Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 5x114.3 +15offset.

Tire size: 245/40/18s

Rear fenders are rolled and pulled slightly.

More pix for your viewing pleasure








IIRC the camber is set at around -2 or -3 in the rear.

If you plan on running 265+ sized tires, I suggest you should go with slight higher offset with stock fender setup

Gram Lights 57 Maximum or Optimize offer very nice aggressive offset for EVOs. Still require fender rolling and pulling a bit.

I usually recommend my customers to go with 18x9.5 +22s

+15 if you are going with Voltex or any other wide fender mods.

Hope this helps!

Happy Holidays!
