Does anyone have the 18x10 +38 RPF1? I just ordered them and plan to add spacers to take them out just enought so it doesn't rub. My car will be traked a lot and I didn't want to pull the fenders. I currently have Eibach springs, but some Fortune Auto 500 coilovers are on their way. Any pictures or specs?... I can't seem to find any on the entire internet. Thanxs

Dropped on Tien Street Flex Coilovers. Man I love these wheels!
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: 30
Tires: BFG G-Force Supersports
Tire Size: 235/40
Front fender linings removed, body line in the wheel well smoothed, and rear fenders rolled and pulled. Custom center caps made from 2006 Honda Accord oem center caps and painted flat black. I like the RPF1 center caps, I just wish they had a black version.
20mm spacers on rear, soon to be 15mm spacers on the front. I know, should have bought the right size wheel. The Evo had them on it when I bought it. Doing it right with Ichiba V2 hub centric spacers.

I've been through this entire thread, and even searched it in case I missed what I was looking for, but no luck. Anyone have 18x8.5+30s on stock Advans with Eibach Pros? I've determined this is the best setup for me because: 1) I'm not getting new tires - only 1k miles and 2) 18x9.5+15s require, from what I've read, altered alignment geometry (nope), stretched tires (no way), and maybe rolled fenders (hell no) and even then if I've got a full back seat (often) or I drive hard (always) I will shred the rears. Couldn't find any pics of this exact setup, so if you've got some and are feeling generous, I would greatly appreciate seeing your setup and hearing your thoughts. Thanks!

18x9.5 15 offset do not require all that... I have had two sets of that offset.one in rpf1 and now a different set both lowered on eibach pro kits n did nothing of the sort... No roll or nothing . The tire is a slight stretch n I mean very slight not crazy noticeable or no crazy poke. Fills in the wheel well nicely.

Depending on the drop you may be able to fit 18x9.5 +15 without rubbing. You'll be restricted to 245 size tire and may have to increase the camber a bit. 245 on a 9.5 wide tire isn't too bad of a stretch. Just won't ever look as good as a meaty 265.
Better to just roll you fenders, it's not a big deal.

Fender Rolling
I am interested in getting the 18x10.5 +15mm rpf1s, but I didn't know if I would need to roll my fenders since I am only on a one inch drop with swift springs. Need help, thanks.
