Wanted to re look at Tire sizing for the enkei rpf1 18x9.5 +15

I'v searched and read til my eyes bleed some say they rub some say they don't on 265/35. I don't really feel like rolling my fenders is a 255/35 the sure size not to roll on factory unrolled fenders. car is stock height and will be lowered a inch or so sooner then later. or is there certain 265/35 tires that won't rub? if 255 is the sure fire way not to rub which tires would be best out of these http://tires.tirerack.com/m/tires/255%2035-18

car is a summer weekend car for the street and isn't drivin in wet often or snow ever. thank you in advance

255/35 is a terrible tire size, it's to small in diameter. Buy higher offset wheels, or roll your fenders to run 265's. Do it right (wheel/tire fitment) so your car doesn't look silly.

What's a good wheel with a higher offset that clears brembos and wouldn't rub un rolled fenders with a 265/35 Tire say the star spec tires in 265/35

255/40 is better. Gearing is way too short already. 255/35 just makes it worse.
I ultimately didn't want to roll in the rear either, got rid of my RPF1s and went with 265/35 on an 18x9.5 +22. Best decision I ever made. 275/35/18 is closest to stock size.

Don't rub at all, my RPF1s did at +15.

I have TE37SL 18x9.5 +22
I also had this same size in Rays 57xtreme, also didn't rub. Many Rays and Volk are available in that size and will not rub. Good luck.

NoiZe, what's your suspension set up?

I'm on stock GSR struts with swift spec r's. Wondering if I run your size wheels and tires 18x9.5 +22 on 265/35/18 will I run or need fender rolling.

Thanks!

I am on 18x10.5 +15 RPF1's and 275/35/R18 Ventus v12s with rolled fenders and -2F/-1.5R camber settings and the fitment is near perfect with no rubbing except on large bumps.
