By "best" I mean the least fender work in the back and the least spacer in the front.
No flush or extreme offset.

Edit: With 255/40/18's


BTW, thanks for all of your input on this thread, you help a lot of people!
Enjoy helping out. Really just giving you guys the basics!

The 18x9 +35 is likely a good option & is very modest. Now, the 255/40 is a very healthy tire (255/35 is more common) in the way of circumference. A fender roll will be needed. But in my book I like the aggressive look & the 40 series is beefy

Regarding the front, its all about hub & spoke design that dictates caliper clearance. Its not so much offset related

Need help guys I have searched and not come to a solid answer... I am looking to get a set of rpf1 in 17x9 +35 will it fit without a spacer? I do not want to go down to a 17x8.5 because I do not care for the look of the curved spoke

Your answer is in this thread. Scroll down a bit an a few good posts are made on the 17x9 +35 (needs spacers from what I read)

What is required to fit a set of TE37 16x7 +42 offset? Would I need at least a 20mm spacer to clear front brembos? Any help would be much appreciated.

If this is for drag racing I would suggest to post this up in the Motorsports section sub section Drag

Sorry, question above my pay grade. Unlikely anyone here will know

If these +22's dont fit w/out a spacer I would get another wheel. +22 is already very aggressive. Going further outboard would not be advised unless you a wide front fender kit

You didnt note the full wheel spec but I used the following

18x9.5 +22 w/245/40 tire

Maybe you knew this already but the rear fenders will need a full roll & fender pull. Bumper bolt likely will need to be moved

Fronts will work w/some liner rub likely

Suggestion based on running stock camber front & rear
