I have a set of Fn0's but I don't trust them and have yet to do a track day on them.

I'll be looking to run a 275 all the way around what rim allows me to do this (17") the easiest?

+38 for stock body is true, but not stock trailing arms.

Enkei NT03+M 17x9.5 +38 would be good

No spacers needs for 17x9.5+38 NT03s.

What type of spacers are needed for this? Because the 18x10 +38 RPF1's require a 20mm in the front and with a 285 Hoosier just clear the rear trailing arm.

Wouldnt that mean 18x10.5 +38 would require a spacer in the rear to clear the trailing arm?

A 5mm spacer (maybe 6mm) in the rear would be about perfect for minimal fender pulling and trailing arm clearance.

Or you could fabricate some custom trailing links to clear the rear wheels like I did. With a 6" tall coilover spring in the rear I can pretty easily fit an 18x10.5 in the back with an offset in the +38 to +45 range.

I actually have to run a 5mm spacer in the rear with my 18x10 +38 RPF1s on 285 Kumhos...

just because you do doesn't mean you "have" to run that spacer. I'm sure your wheel doesn't hit the trailing arm without the spacer, you probably get a bit of tire flex under load that leaves some rubber on the trailing arm.

With 285 Hoosiers and +32 10" wide wheels with no spacer the rears rub on the trailing arm enough to discolor/melt the rubber on the inside sidewall. Took a 3mm spacer to get rid of that. . .

Also keep in mind that on a wider wheel the sidewall geometry is a tad different
