SSR GTX01 18x10.5
Hi guys buying wheels can be harder than i thought so I've narrowed down between rpf1 or gtx01 but anyways my question is 18x10.5 is the size i want they offer 22 offset and 15 offset I want aggressive but I dont like the poke out look from the rear.. I have no problem rolling or pulling rear fenders a bit.. I would use 275/35/18 tires what do you guys recommend ?

I'm in the same boat right now. I think I have it narrowed down to the GTX01s though (is there a vendor on here that sells SSRs?). I personally am going with the +22 offset. +15 is pretty aggressive. I would imagine you might have a slight poke especially with 275s running the +15 offset. Would definitely require some rolling and fender pulling.

Yea I think +22 would be the way to go to avoid headaches and it should be pretty flush I have the xxr527 right now and it's +22 but 9.75 not 10.5 I wish someone had these in +15 so I can have a mental image lol but thank you both for your input !

+15 is not a good fitment IMO. It pokes a lot in the front, and requires A LOT of work on the rear fender to clear a 275/35r18. A 10.5" wide wheel works perfect in the +22 to +25 offset range with just good flat roll of the rear fender with a 275/35r18.

I just ordered 18x10.5 +18 rims. From the hours of research I did I couldn't come to a definitive answer for fender roll/pull. A lot of it seems to depend on the amount of camber you are willing to run. Everyone I read with +15 seems to pull the rear fender no matter what. It seems like people are getting away with +18 or higher at 10.5rims /275 tires with -3 camber front and -2 rear.
I know the wheels will rub the fender lining on full lock. To remedy this I will heat and bend the fender liners in to avoid rub on full lock.
I took the risk of going 10.5 +18 because I didn't want to pay a lot of money and end up with a wheel not aggressive enough for my taste. I'm really trying to avoid pulling my fenders since I've gone that route before on another car. The fenders just never look right afterwards and it looks retarded once you put a set of regular wheels on..
*If someone is running 10.5 +18 without a pull let me know what your camber/ coil settings are!
