Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +38 fitment

Sup guys, new to the forums. So pretty much I'm the market for new wheels and the two that I'm going for are Enkei RPF1's and NT03's. So far no one has NT03's and they're all on back order for awhile so I might go with RPF1's instead. The local shop I have has them in 18x9.5 +38 offset. Has anyone run this offset? I'm currently on coilovers and I know fender work has to be done. My question is what kind of spacers and tires are best for this size? I have Ichiba 10mm slip ons right now but I might switch for normal spacers and ARP extended studs, I also have 265/35/18 Hankooks but I'm going to be switching them for a different set. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Im not sure what the 18x9.5s need for spacers up front but the 18x10s need a minimum of 17mm to clear the brake calipers.

Other than that, just a roll flat in the rear and ~10mm pull up front was all I needed. I also have some custom trailing links to fit the tires in the rear but thats only needed on the 10's.

Oh I see. Ya the only offsets this shop has for RPF1's is 18x9.5 +38 and +15. I didn't go with the +15 because that's just too wide, but at the same time I want the aggressive look

Your offset is not how wide your wheel is.... "The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel."

The 'aggressive look' you want will require a lower offset...closer to +15...

Heres a good thread to view which shows the same spec wheel: Wheels: RPF1, 18 x 9.5, +38 offset
Spacers: Project Kicks, +20mm, in the front only making it +18.
Tires: Dunlap Direzza Star specs 255/35/18
