need help with rim fitment....
i'm looking at some rims that are 18x9.5 with a 35mm offset? just wanted to know if these will fit with no problem? i really don't want to do any fender rolling. what would i need to make them fit? i'm lowered on tein s-tech's. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
it all depends on tire size...s-techs are pretty low I have a feeling you will rub a little in the rear with a 255/35
if you get a 245/40 you might be okay but that defeats the purpose of having a 9.5" width wheel

I ordered a 18x9.5 +29mm offset and it will fit. I think as long as your front caliper clears you will have no problem. But that will depend on your rim design. There is tire/wheel fitment tread and I would check there just to make sure.
^+1. Completely depends on rim design. 18x9.5 fn01rc's fit all day w/ 35mm offset; same size RPF1's w/38mm offset takes about 20mm of spacer to fit. Depends if the spokes clear the calipers.
How is that an accurate comparision? You compared not only two different wheels,but also two different offsets. Off course +38 mm is not going to fit with the Brembos. Also if you put a 20 mm spacer on a +38 mm offset that would then make +18 and that definitely won't fit.

if you read the description it does say the design clears most big brakes.

A guy I know just put them on his 240 (unfortunately 4 lug), but looking at them I would think they will definitely clear the brembos. They have spokes like the GN+ almost. Definitely alot of room in there for brakes.

My point was that you can't just look at offset to determine if a rim of a particular width will work. It depends on other things too. And as far as 'of course 38mm is not going to fit', um... not correct either.
