MR Bilsteins/Swift Spec-R: Most aggressive 18" wheel width and offset?

my car is currently running mr bilsteins and swift spec r springs. i want to run an aggressive offset and width 18inch wheel for my set up, especially considering i have hrs wide fenders upfront and rolled/pulled rear fenders. right now im running 18x9.5 volk time attacks +28 with a 15mm spacer upfront (to fit nicely with the fenders). some wheels im looking at are 18x10 +18 and 18x10+35, but i want to know what all my options are including in the 9.5 width. btw, tires are reo1-r's in 255/35/18. appreciate the help!

18x10 +18 and 18x10+35 - is very aggresive in the front but you should clear your brakes fine - i would hang onto those tires because u will probably have to stretch them on to fit these wheels on- (does promote wheel spin tho) or you could run alot of camber but do to your stock style setup you cant adjust camber much- so you might have to buy camber plates.

i would contact togue factory (spelling?) they seem to be good with running aggresive setups

well im not worried about the front at all since i have the hrs fenders , well maybe a little due to the clearance for the shock compared to a coilover set up. the rear is my main concern for clearance.

I think tires that big would overwork those struts. I am pushing the limits of the stock struts with 255 r compounds.

whats the point of going wider for 255's? They're already stretched on the 9.5's.

I'd save the $$ and stick with what you have.
