Enkei RPF1 18x9 +35
I know...another RPF1 thread. I haven't seen or heard of anyone running this size. Why? Are there fitment issues? I want to go wider than stock, but dont want +15...or wheel spacers. I had 19x9.5 +22 and I didnt like the steering feel. Did anyone ever run these wheels or am I the only person out there that ever considered them?

I am 99% sure those will not fit without a spacer.
Mine have a decently deep "dish" between the outer rim and the spoke placement, but the spokes themselves are not concave. Here is some pictures before I got aligned (I am a bit lower now):

Just my IX, but my +38s have almost no backspacing, ie the hub mate point is almost in line with the back of the spokes. AFAIK the X only has bigger calipers and a low raised portion of the rotor where the wheel will mate, likely exacerbating this issue. I could be wrong and should have noticed this was for the X, but I would still be inclined to believe there is no chance a +35 RPF1 would fit on an X though the spacer required will likely not be identical to mine.

The rear will fit with clearance fine, but it will look awful with a sunken wheel.
Long story short I'm running the 18x9 +35 rpf1 with a 20mm spacer both front and rear. Had the same question and dilemma before installing, so I got the spacers just to be on the safe side. I have no issues other than during full steering lock I get rubbing on the inner fender liner but otherwise it handles just fine.
