Enkei RPF1's 18x10.5 + 15

You are kidding right?

Stock offset is +38 or so with a 8.5 inch width rim and you want to go 2 inches wider with an aggressive offset. You're going to have to do some fender rolling in the rear.

Does anyone on this site even search or read thru some before they post?

There is a thread about 10 down from the top adressing this same wheel but in 9.5" (the 10.5 was also discussed in there) and there are multiple older threads on these wheels.

To answer you, have fun putting 245's on a 10.5 wheel. You will need to roll the rear fenders and put some camber in at both ends.

how much would it cost to get your fenders rolled and to get the camber adjusted?

an aligment will depend on where you take it, usually around $50-60 and as for fender rolling; I'm unsure how much that will cost. You can buy a fender roller for a lil over $100 or so and do it yourself. It's easy.

With a 265/35-18 tire you will need to run -2.5* of camber both front and rear as well as roll and pull the rear and roll the fronts.

not really. 275/35 or 285/30 here and in the rear I run anywhere from -1.3-2.3* of camber without rubbing issues.

I rub in the front at full lock on the backs and fronts of the wheel wells (running -2.5-4.5* of camber)

i had the 19x10 et15 on our car with a WIDE 285's...

i rolled the rears and had left the fronts stock on eibach springs..

id say if you run a narrow 275 (like a dunlop) you can make it work with proper front camber and cutting/rolling the rear.

cheers

Not sure what dunlops run narrow, but dunlop star specs, in 245/40 run _wide_. NT-05's seem to run "true" or "skinny".

The funniest part is the stock tires on a 10.5" wheel.
