hey guys just wondering what is a good tire size to run for these rims RPF1 18x9.5 +15?

 

Is it a IX or a X?

If it's an IX, no idea, those are awfully aggressive lol, for a X you should be able to get 265/35/18 on there, maybe even 275's.

 

IX MR im tryin to go a little aggressive

 

That's gonna be a bit too aggressive.... You aren't going to fit much of anything on there without major fender rolling as far as I know.

 

i liked the setup that freshjuicebox has i was thinking of doing that kinda of a setup on mine.... or i dont really track my car probably wont even track it i just daily drive it..

 

235's about all your gonna be able to do or run a ton of camber especially if you go low. At +28 and 255's on 9in wheel I have about 1/8th in between my rolled rear quarter panels with -1.5 rear camber. Thats with the car fairly low as well. +15 gonna be intense. If you want to run -2.0 for camber 245's probably be possible with cut fenders. If you want to pull your fenders then it would be possible for some 255's but that is usually a major pita and 9 times out of 10 don't turn out right.

 

true true yah will see what rims are you running on now?

 

Your fronts will fit fine with 3 degrees or more camber with a 265 wide tire.

Your rears however... I think you'll have to run 235's and some camber. I don't really see the rears fitting that well.

There is a guy on the forums something 13 with a TB Evo 9 with the same wheels... I think he fits 245's all the way around.

 

yah i saw that i been researching if i do do this then i would put in alot of work...
hmmm what else offsets does the rpf1s come in? and also if you do go in that offset height come in play correct?

 

The only offset that I can find in 18x9.5 that would be good for an Evo would be the +38, and then you may need a 3-5mm spacer to run really wide tires. Ideally you want a ~30 I'd think.

 

yeah with my setup im running 235/40s.... i could probably fit 245s but it would be a close call... i am rolled on all 4 corners (rear rolled flat and front just enough to add some cushion) and do have over 2 degrees all around (but i dont know exactly)... i still need to take it in for an alignment and cut some more fender liner out...

 

For reference, I have 18x9.5 +28 on 255/35/18. Rears are rolled with -1.5 camber.

So, for +15, you'll either have to cut the rear fender and max rear camber to fit 255. Or stick with 235 tires.

 

i had 275's all the way around on mine

I run 285's on my car...

18x9.5 +40's with a 25mm spacer up front. You need to search for "official wide tire thread" it will give you some insight into what goes into making wide tires fit. it has everyone's setup in there and how to do it.

+15's are for the hella flush crowd. Really not functional at all. I didn't want to comment either way, but it seems like you'd rather fit a real sized tire under your car and not waste 9.5" wide wheels.
