is just more under steer or is a square setup more for a track or really just driving preference

we can talk about this setup all day long, but it does nothing if this dood is slamming his ride like he mentions here:

Yeah, it won't fit. I run a 285/30/18 on an 1810, and it's a +28. Your wheel is 12mm wider, so 6mm of that will be on the outside. Add that to your 6mm less offset, and you're at 18mm "more pushed out" than mine = no way.

Here is my square Volk setup, 19x10.5 all around +18 front, +3 Rear. 19/255 tire

I'm lowered so the camber helps them to fit...

I have 19x9.5 +14 front and 19x10.5 +8 rear with 285/35/19 tires all around. I am rubbing in the rear, but I have not yet rolled my fenders (waiting for may when I am out in Norcal) I have not dropped yet, I just got my Megan Racing Street Series Coilovers, and I have not installed the camber kit, eibach and ichiba...so after all that I plan on having no rub issues, and having them sit more flush!

Default 10.5 square setup offsets and issues??

i currently have enkie nt03+m 10.5 rear and 9.5 front im looking to balance my car towards oversteer. so i was thinking about running a square stance 10.5 all the way around. with that large a wheel up front are there any common problems with steering or alignment issues ect. Whats the common offset for a 10.5 in the front to keep it flush with the fender i doubt using the same offset i have in the rear would keep it flush

If you search there are about 4 or 5 other threads that cover these topics.

In my case, a 10.5 +25 in the front should have the edge(lip of the wheel) exactly flush/lined up with the fender... Are you lowered? camber?... Just remember, all cars and setups are will vary...

I think +25 is the "flush-est" it can get without poke

I wouldn't worry about balancing your car towards anything until you know what the car actually does with your intended suspension setup.

Why not just do a square setup (i.e. 275/35 front & 275/40 rear or just 275/35 all around) with your existing wheels? Saves the hassle of sourcing new rims.

I know what my current setup can do even before I had these wheels I was running on the same form of setup. Stillen sways and ebiach pro kit. I know the limits of my car and current driving ability. Although I'm recently getting into the (art) of supension. Iv been reading up on new things every day. Although I'm no where close to being an expert. I want to setup my car to run very nutural but with it slightly geared towards oversteer vs understeer. I personally want that to be my starting point and go from there once I start to tune my suspension when I pick up my coils this month

Default 18x10.5 Square setup, All the way around/ Tire Sizes?

So I'm looking to pick up some RPF1's in 18x10.5 all the way around. The offset will be +15 all the way around as well. I want to add a 15 mm spacer in the rear, to bring the offset to +0 for a more aggressive stance. Should I add a spacer up front as well? I'm looking for a pretty aggressive stance, I'll be lowering on some coils soon as well.

My question to you guys is what tire sizes should I run? I have already rolled my fenders all the way around. But is pulling necessary? I'm not looking to do some crazy fender work just to get these to fit.

From searching around this is what I got:
18x10.5 +15 with a 245/40 in the front.
18x10.5 +0 with a 245/40 in the rear.

Does this sound okay? If you think i should add a spacer up front please give a tire spec! As well if you have other recommendations

Thanks

no sir, rfp1's do come in 10.5 widths on an 18in wheel. You may want to think about wider tires, I have 245's on my 8.5in wide tires.

The come in 18x10.5 +15 , i guess if that was the look i wanted i would run 265/35 front and rear , and run a 10mm spacer out back, or run a 265/35 front and 275/35 rear with the 10mm spacer.

Yes sir, RPF1's do come in 10.5 width in 18's. That's how I got a quote from a dealer.

Would I rub in the front with my fenders rolled?
