18 x 9.5 options????

I'm trying to fit an 18x9.5 and need some help on wheels available that have been used. From what I see, it looks like a 35mm offset will be best. Would a 38mm offset fit?

Due to the new Brembo brake package on the car, I can not fit 17's. I currently have 245/40-18's on Volk TE-37's on the car, but would like to run the new Yokohama race tire on the car and they are only available in 265's (same with the Michellin Pilot Sport Cups).

Any help on wheels available would be greatly appreciated.

Yokohama's would work nicely.

Do you know which model Yokohama wheels fit? And, is the 35mm offset correct for the 9.5" width?

Thank you.

18x9.5 wheels with 38mm offset will fit and IMO is the optimum offset.

Thank you.
The Advan RCII will fit: that is a 18x9.5, with a 35mm offset.


There's some leeway with the offset; in Hyper Rev, there is an Evo with a 17x9.5 Gramlight 57F (I think), and +22 offset.
