The Ultimate Aggressive Wheel Thread... Evo X Style
^ It's 18x10.5 +15
It's Do Luck front lip. If you want subtle, the JDM fog deletes complements this front lip perfectly.

I am new to the forums, and have been reading the threads, but can't find an answer. There is a member running 18x9.5 +20 Rota Grid (Gold) and 265.35.18 Hankook Ventus EVO Tires. Does anyone know if this requires rolling, or any rubbing issues? I still haven't picked mine up. Have about 6 months left here in Japan before I PCS. Any help would be great.
Front camber -2.3
Rear camber -2
Rear might need a little more camber, just by .5
But I haven't had any rubbing issues.
Since you're +8 offset higher, I'm sure you're in the safe zone. My friend has 18x9.5 +22 Rotas w/ 265/35s as well, no problems with him either. Running on Swift Springs, with similar camber settings. He has a little less camber than I do.
Hope this answers your question
Find the fatest socket you have available and a heat gun. Turn the wheel to the point where it rubs the fender liner.
Squeeze the socket in between tire and fender liner, the grooves/folds in the liner helps hold it in place.
Use heat gun to .... heat up the fender liner haha. Then afterwards, use some cold water on the liner (away from heat gun
)No more rubbing on fender liner.
Sounds exactly like what I ran into, I saw a DIY using a heat gun and a screw driver to help mold the fender liner, but after a slip and near miss of the oil cooler, I found an easier way.

I wonder if patience + a blow dryer would work... Lol!

Working at McDonnell Douglas doing composite mfr, yes, we used blow dryers in a pinch instead of heat guns. Get one that is 1500w or greater. Fan is actually not important, would rather have a slow one than fast, with high watts. And patience. You can actually get things hotter with the blow dryer than the heat gun, according to our quality inspection guys. Just have to lean it just so, and let the heat build up in a spot.
I'm not running Rotas, but these are 18x9.5 +12s, only small rubbing I have is the front fender liner at full lock, when I'm reversing out or something. Haven't rolled any of the fenders, and I'm lowered on Eibach Pro Kit.

I mean, it's common to see a soccer mom driving a Benz SUV or the CEO rolling in an Audi still sporting that combo. Most of the cars I see with that wheel design are now Neon SRT-4s and early 2000 3-series.
Time for a new fad (and gawd I'm hoping the dark headlight/taillight scene goes soon as well--ghetto).
