How motivated are you to roll, pull, and relocate fender bolts?

Not entirely True... My friend has the exact set up... 18X9.5 +15 and its slammed with 245/40's He had to roll the rear fenders (did not pull them). He would rub on a decent bump or with 2 people in the back, and would sometimes touch the fender clip. But he was on 245/40's a very tall tire. you can do a 245/35 and be good with not hitting the clip.

Tire Advice and Wheels size advice
Whats up yall! I'm purchasing a new set of Enkei's real soon (NT03's) to be exact.
My rim size I think is gonna be 18x9.5 in a +38 or +27 offset. The question is should I go to a 265 width or stay at 255? What are the pros and cons of a lower offset? Will I need to extend my studs with a 10mm spacer if I get the 27 offset.

No one can help?would the +25 all around work best or 25 in front 35 rear? By my guess at 38 stock offset and people using 20mm spacers means +18 then front be fine but with the rear would +35 work best and look good?

Rpf1 size and spacer help
Hey evom
I got a sweet deal on some rpf1s and I had a few questions about the specs.
Theyre 17x8 +45 and I wanted to know what size tire and spacers would be ideal for these wheels.
Im currently running 245/45 on my bbs wheels and I would like to keep that tire size on the rpf1s. Ive tried mounting the rpf1s already and they hit the brakes up front and from the looks of it, Im going to need either a 20 or 25mm spacer. So if someone can let me know if that tire size would be ok and what size spacers would work best. thanks.
and yes ive tried searching but couldnt find an exact answer since not too many people are running such a small wheel with that offset

I believe stock offset is 38 but you'll want a little more that that.
A 15mm spacer would put you at a 30 offset, still a little ways away from being flush with the outside of the fender. My winter wheels are 28 offset and they have plenty of room left.
20mm spacers would probably be ideal. I've heard of people running 22 offset wheels having to roll the fenders. A 25mm spacer would put you beyond that. Of course if you wanted to do a little fender work 25mm might give you a more wide stance aggressive look.
245/45 will work fine and many people do run that size on 17x8's. That is about as wide as you'd want to go 255's fit but cause a soft sidewall because of the bulge. I run 255/40 on a 17x9 for the summer.

Jesus, I was drunk or something JBrown LOL! It should read RE-30 but same size and offset as the Ce28 the OP was running. I need to proof read better...
