Hello everyone, lets see what wheels everyone is rocking and how they fit on your car !
Here is my 2006 SE on 18x10.5 Enkie Rpf1's with a chrome SBC finish "Tires" 255/35/18 Federals

good working thread

 

For sure it looks cool but 2 quick notes

The 255's are too small for the 10.5. You are one size away from the min (265)

Obvious rear tire damage from rubbing

 

I cant go any bigger with a tire. It would rub horribly, im gonna get 245's

 

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.

 

Dude, 245s will not (or at least should not) fit on a 10.5in wheel. Go with bigger tires or smaller wheels.

 

Heres mine... SBC 18x9.5 +15... my rears rub a little.

 

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.

 

No rubbing or either ?

 

Bump- love your car. Were you able to figure out the rubbing situation with the 255's? Where exactly is it rubbing? Have you pulled/cut your rear fenders?

 

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...

 

I'm on 18x10.5 +15 with 285/30/18 BFG R1. IMHO 255 is too skinny for a 10.5.. i ran 265/35/18 on my 18x9.5 +27 NT03+m and they had a SLIGHT stretch..
Heres my 10.5 setup



And my 9.5 setup stock body.. IMHO 10.5 is way too wide stock body.
