Stock offset is +38mm. I'm not sure what offset they offer the Works Meister S1R.

Look here and you'll be able to find out the size that works best.

if you're stock height you won't have to unless you're taking some hard turns.

If lowered then you will have to unless it's like 30+ or more but I think it won't look as clean.

Buth then the other question to ask which offset clears the front brakes. You may need to a spacer to do that.

Another concern is different offsets may change the lip width or face shape.

Best to do is search for that rim on a X but I don't recall seeing anything in 9.5

Here's works site showing 10.5 which looks nice. http://www.workwheelsusa.com/news-post.php?article=87

It's not too hard to roll the fenders or you could just have it done. No biggie.

I was lowered on Spec R's on my X with 9.5 +22 (265 tire)with no issues. I believe if you go to +15 you would need to roll the rears if lowered.

You mean +15.

It will depend on the tire, but yes, should fit. A few more square-shouldered tires may rub, but 99% of the 255's will fit with either +20 or +22 offset.

Thanks! What about my rear fenders? Will they need rolling on a +20?

I ran 18x9.5 +22 with a 5mm spacer so essentially offset was +17 and was lowered approximately 1.2 inches and didn't have any problems. As others have said, it will depend on what tire size you run. I had 245/40 (stock tire size) Hankook Evo V12's. The tires were very mildly stretched. Probably could have run 265/35 without any problems.

I now have a set of 19X10 +20 with the same 5mm spacer (+15) Work S1R's, I have my rear fenders rolled but my car is much lower now.

If you have any questions about a good disc setup to order with the S1R's shoot me a PM, happy to let you know what my exact set-up was. Since these are two piece wheels, you can order the exact same size wheels but get a "staggered look" where the rear lips are larger than the fronts.
