you should get 9.5" wheels with, at most, a +25 offset. +30 would be better. +35 or +38 with a 5-10mm front spacer would be ideal.

if you are going for simply looks then go ahead and run a stretch tire which a lot of folks will frown upon here. I been on both sides of the fence.... well the most I ever went was a 245 on 9.5 inch Volks and I ended up hating the look. I hated when my Evo got compared to VWs with their massively stretched out silly wheels... and to me an aggressive stance is not jus running a wide wheel. It is also the amount of meat you have around the wheels.
Again if you are strictly form over function, its your car man, do what you want with it but expect some criticism here. The face on the RPF1 does not change from a 9.5 or 10.5 so 9.5 +15 would be easier to run with a 255 (like Liquid's red Evo).
In the end I ended up selling the CE28Ns at +15 and got +22 and went with a 255. On a 10 inch or wider wheel the thinnest tire I would ever run is a 265. I just comes down to performance and look for me. I know on a 8/9 it is harder to run 10 inch plus wheels with a lower offset than +28 and get good performance out of them. ON a X it is much easier but that is another topic.

It used to rubb if i hit bumps so i rolled the quarters and got adjustable control arms so i could camber it a bit more and now its fine but i rubbed the letters off the tire lol

Thanks for the reply. Are you still on your ultra stiff megan coils? I'm on blisten chocks w/ swift springs so I'd guess my suspension would have more travel than yours. Just trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle of going 10.5 w/ 255 instead of 9.5 w/ 245...
