Default Rubbing issue maybe a possiblity. Thoughts..

Enkei 18x10.5 +15 allround w/ potenza re050a 275/35/18 allround.

I know i will not rub in the rear, but possibly the front being the tires are a bit wide. ?? Possibility of a rubbing issue or might need spacers??

Up front, I run a 10.5 +22 with a 275/35/18 Dunlop Starspec with -3 degrees of camber. I am lowered 1.5 inches. It does not rub but I would imagine the + 15 has a good chance of rubbing if your lower or run less camber. Mine rubbed until I went to -3.

You don't need spacers, you'd need to go the other way with more offset or a wheel with a smaller width. You can likely add enough camber to make it fit, though that takes away the logic of having a wider tire.

^ +1 on not needing spacers and having enough camber in front.

OP, I hope you did your homework. There are several threads dedicated to your particular question regarding the RPF1s with +15 offsets.

-3 to me is ridiculous.. i also have done my homework.. and read that thread posted above

obviously i am going to need to go negative into camber with just lowering springs but if i were to get after market w/ stance gr+ coils and upper arms maybe it will level it all out??? or maybe just upperarms???

18x10.5 is quite the size and with that offset.. maybe 18x9.5 +15??
