18x10 +22 with NT05 265/35/18. Car is lowered on Eibach pro kit. The rear were rubbing so those fenders are rolled (nothing to crazy). I can't remember the wheel alignment specs off the top of my head, but minimal to no camber. Had to run 3mm spacers up front to clear the brakes.

That's the first I've read that spacers where needed up front to clear the brakes with this specific size. Which spacers?

I actually just ordered those wheels and 18x10.5 is the only size that clears the Brembos up front. 18x9.5 and 18x10 require spacers to clear the calipers in the front.

Love the Octane Blue cars. I bought my car in 2013 and wanted Octane Blue ended up with Wicked White though, next best color in my opinion. And now of course, hindsight being 20/20, if I had waited and picked up a 14 I could have had Octane Blue. In fact wasn't 13 the only year it didn't exist? Stupid Cosmic Blue.

Can you post/send me a pic of how rolled your rears are? I'm looking at that same wheel size, but maybe on 275s.

Cosmic Blue was 13-14, Octane Blue is back for 15. I had to make the choice of a 14 with Recaros or a 15 with Octane Blue, so naturally I took the 15 and installed the seats myself. Way easier than trying to repaint a car (properly).

Should get rid of those ugly chrome side markers too and put in some OEM side markers from a previous year.

Are you looking for the same wheels or just that size? I have 18 x 9.5 running 275's NT01's on Ohlin RT's. Had to roll the rear for sure, so I had all four corners done while at it. If I recall my camber is 2.8 up front, 2.0 in the rear.

They look amazing and handle even better.

I don't like the chrome "markers" but I think the 08-14 side markers look really cheap. Plus, I'm sure the wiring was rerouted to the mirrors, so I doubt I could connect the fender lights anyways.

I'm still looking for another option though.

I'm still trying to figure out what wheels to go with. I'm between going with a 18x9.5 +22 with 265s (which I think need no fender mods?) or 18x10.5 +22 on 275s with (slightly) wider front fenders and just rolling the rears. I'm just really worried about rolling the fenders since I have no experience with it and don't think there are any good shops nearby. I also drive my Evo in the winter, so if it cracks the paint (outside or inside the fender) I'll get rust spots in no time. I really would rather avoid that. So, I thought if I could see what kind of roll you had, I could see how risky it might be.
