I have not mounted tires on these -- dealer and MFR warnings everywhere that once I mount, I own. These also come in ET38.

When I have them on the car, the outer lip of the rim is directly below the fenders. They don't have any overlap with the fender. On the inside, they have a thumb-width, guessing about 15-16mm. I am nervous about going 13mm towards the inside because I do set my camber to the factory 1-2deg negative setting for spirited driving (HPDE, etc)

How can you tell you have good fitment on the outside without putting weight on the car?

Update: Best way, use the stockers with ride height (weight) and simply measure and trust. Back-spacing measurements were exactly what they should be. Having the stock offset for so long sort of trained me to get used to a sunken look. I love the totally flush offset, very very aggressive for the part of the country I live in. A few lowered cars, but not many that push the offset to the limit like you can with an Evo's stock suspension.

I was looking for RPF1's but all I can find is +15, would I rub on +15's?

What I've read is that with the RPF1 at +15 you need to roll your rears and apply some decent camber. Not sure though since the drop is minimal, but those springs are soft.

Sounds good. I'll wait for a second opinion too. As for a +22 offset, those should work well w/o rolling I presume?

^ yes but for some reason im not sure if the RPF1 design clears the brembos at +22. you might need to run a spacer. Wait for somebody else to chime in.

No. That is the perfect set up especially for the stock suspension and ride height. I have tracked them in your wheel and tire size without any issues using the Nitto NT01.

I'm thinking about buying Volk GT-C with Wheels specs: 19x8.5 +27et & 19x9.5 +24 (5x114.3)

Do you think it will fit on without spacer ?

ok, i went through the whole thread, and i didnt see this size/ question asked, so heres mine

Im interested in getting Drag DR 31 wheels. They are Work/Rota knock offs (big for the subie guys)

the size im interested in getting is 18x9" +15et. I'd like to make sure these clear the caliper.

As far as tires, i'd be looking at 255/35 lowered on Cobb's coils (with future plans of BC coilovers)

thanks for input/advice in advance

Too narrow on the size and too high on the offset.

Hey I tried searching online to answer my questions but was found with no luck. I have wheel size of 18×9 30 offset and am clueless of what tire size to get to fit in with the h&r sport springs I have. I don't want the tires to rub... I found the ideal size to be 255/35/18. Would this be bigger than 245/40/18(stock tire size?)? If I could get more tread for a bigger tire, that'll be nice but I don't want it to rub either.

Should I go with 255/35/18 or 245/35/18 or 245/40/18?

Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find an answer that matches my wheel size and the springs I have. Thanks
