Anyone running 18x9.0 +29 RGIIs or RSs???

I was just curious how they fit with stock fenders. I already figure that the quarters have to be rolled, but I was wondering how the fronts fit with a drop. Also, is this the modt aggresive that you can go with stock fenders? Any help or PICS would be appreciated.

The 29 offset is the most aggressive offset you can go with on the RG2's and the RS's I believe. I've spent the last 4 days researching this offset, wheel, and tire combo for my car.

Look through and read that thread. He is running coilovers so his car may not sit as low as yours. I'm running S-Tech's and I know mine is lower, but I've had people tell me that they will be fine and won't rub.

ASPEC on the other hand doens't suggest running the 18x9 with 29 offset due to rubbing issues and says to run the 35 offset. If you want the GTR face, the 29 offset is the ONLY way to have it unless there is a lower affset than that and I'm not aware of it.

Good luck getting your answers. I tried answering them the best I could with my situation I'm going through as well.

Corey: So did you decide on the +29 RGII's w/ GTR face? I know the owner of Aspec personally and he tends to like conservative offsets, which is why he probably recommended +35.

I already put a deposit on a set a couple days ago. I was waiting for the money to come in from selling my CE's. I was just making sure that these would fit fine without any porblems cause if they did, then he was gonna get me the 35 offset for me.

After seeing jbigelow's car, I'll probably get the 29 offset and try my luck with the 255/35's. If I don't like them, I'll sell them or trade for some gold GTU's.

I have 18x9 advan rgii in chrome 29 offset and I had to roll my rears to fit 255/35/18 but now I run a 235/40/18 and they fit with no problem. I have Jic coilovers and my car is slammed. If I could choose the best offset for our cars I would have to say a 18x9 and 31 offset because then you can go wider tire wise and not have to worry about rolling anything up to a 255 tire. Good luck bro.

+35 rear
+29 Front (you can actually go as much as +25 in the front)

From my understanding, running two different offsets fornt and back would make the wheels loo totally different. One would have teh GTR face and the other wouldn't. Plus, I like to rotate my tires.

Correct me if I'm wrong.....

If you do two differnt offsets on the RG2's you won't have teh GTR face on two of them. I'm almost sure that you have to get the 29 offset for the GTR face. THe 35 won't look like that at all. Having two different looking wheels on your car would look kinda stupid IMO.

If your so scared of rubbing, just go with the 35 offset all the way around.
