why would you want 38+ on a with such wide rims???
thats not a good idea you should bring down the offset lower the lower you go the further away the rims are from the car so that means no brake caliper rub no inner wheel rubb, ooh most important you dont have to spend extra mone $$$$$ to buy spacers to put on to make the rim a lower offset ! do i tright and buy a low offset rim i have 15 offset for 17x9/5 perfect fit stock body flush

That is not necessarily true on the offset. The advantage for the RPF1s in +38 and the spacer is that you can run a wide rim within the confines of the stock fenders. 18x9.5+15 will not fit with something like a 265 tire under the stock front fenders. It is not necessarily impossible to fit, but it will require significant modification. A 9.5 in either offset will require rolling the rears and the +15 may require a pull as well. I am trying to figure out if I can run a 18x10+38 and clear the struts/ coils

I'm at +12 in the front and no pull... with a 255 though. Flush and no rubbing.

Eugene, it depends on how wide of a tire you want to run. If you're set on 265, you'l be safer with the +38. I'd definitely go with the lower offset and run a 255 though. You saw how my setup looked.

18x9.5 with the +18 offset up front will work but you will definitely have to massage/roll the front fender... it will require quite a bit of work but it can work and will fit pretty flush with the fender. With the low offset you won't have to get a spacer... if you go with the +38 you will DEF. need to get atleast a 15mm spacer up front to clear the stock brembos.

You can also run a staggered offset... +18 up front and a +38 in the rear. You may need a 2-3mm spacer for the rear though but am not entirely sure. may also need to slightly roll the rear also.

This is assuming you will be running a 255 size tire.

it depends on what size tire you run,

to me a 10 with a 255 doesnt serve much of a purpose.

we have a client with the +38, i dont recall what size spacer he runs, im thinking 12mm

so effectively a 26mm offset.

I believe the minimum spacer to clear on a +38 RPF1 is 18mm, for anyone who needs that.

I've researched this wheel and offset more than I care to share.

18x9.5 +38 is what you need to get.

I plan on running 265/35/18's and a 20mm spacer up front. you'll need the spacer to clear the front calipers

If you ran +27's you'd have to pull the rear fenders and run a 10mm spacer up front.

If you ran the +15's you have to REALLY pull the rear fenders and run NO spacer up front.

The face of the RPF1 doesn't change from the +15 to the +38. The RPF1's change face when you go to a narrower wheel. (e.g. 18x8.5)

I've found two other cars that run the 18x9.5 RPF1's but they're on my work computer :P
