I don't like to use spacers, plus I would not want more track width in the front for this car... Are you saying I need spacers up front because you know that this particular rim has brake caliper clearance issues?

Yes, the offset I recommended has caliper clearance issues. You can run +18 and have no issues, but then the rears fenders have to get a lot of work to fit that offset. Comes down to what you're willing to sacrifice. I have no issues running spacers, and have done so on road course for over 3 years.

OK, I'll guess I'll post up here. Wanting to go with the MB Battles. They are cheap, and I fancy them quite a bit.
I need help deciding on some factors.
My car has the factory ride height, factory suspension. I am not dropping it now, but I will in the future.
I need help on deciding which will work better with my car.
17x9.5 +15
or
18x9.5 +15
Will either of these rub? I know they will stick out past the fenders a little bit, but as long as there is no major issues. I'll eventually roll the rears and get the spacers for the fronts.
What size tires would work best with both of these wheels?

Enkei PF01 18 x 9 +35 fitment? not too much wheel under the fender? i.e rubbing on coilover springs or the bumps from the engine bay in the fronts...but also not too tucked under and lame looking?
let me know if anyone is running this please, i am highly considering buying these
Edit: Fenders are rolled currently, i want to be able to slam the car, run moderate low, autox, everything, no limitation, but don't want to go with a wheel that is too thin either...

You're going to have to sacrifice somewhere. Track/autox guys want largest contact patch, not lowest offset for that hella stupid look. Drag guys want smaller wheels, larger sidewall for better hook. Hellafush slammed setup hurt handling. What do you really want?

I would assume 18x9+35 would fit mainly because i see people running the 18x10.5+38 for track, so i can't see why 18x9+35 would be some magic non fitting rim...just seeing if anyone is running pf01 in that size and can confirm the fitment, i am not worried about clearing calipers honestly i know they do...

I was curious to know of anyone has ran fifteen 52 Tarmac or snowflakes ? They make them in 18x9.5 + 25 5x114.3. Is it because they don't fit or just ugly in people's opinion.
