I currently have this wheel only for the rear and was curious to see what offset/setup would be best for the front? I was considering doing 9.5 +15in the front as well, anyone have this setup or could you recomend a better one?

 

I went with the +22 offset and they sit perfect. I would highly recommend.

 

I assume he is talking about 18" wheels and they don't come in that offset. You could get away with the 9.5 +15 in the front if you run a stretched tire, something like a 235/245 and some negative camber. The other option is the 8.5 +30 and run a 10/15mm spacer if you want a flush look.

 

yea i was thinking of doing the 8.5 front and yes i am talking about 18's.

 

this is a 18x9.5 +22, with a 275/35/18 Kumho Ecsta MX up front, camber set at -2. It's not the RPF1 but i thought you'd like to know what's possible.

 

Yea thats what Id like for the front. Unfortunately enkei doenst make that offset on a 18x9.5 so I'd be running the +15. BTW your setup is amazing, I think I have your car as my background at work. The pics in the canyon with the burnt orange Z?? Thanks for the pics. Anyone with RPF1's?

 

Thanks man.

i think you should be fine with the +15 18x9.5, you might give Francis at AspecProducts a call. he helped me in choosing the offsets for my wheels and did a pretty good job imo. his number is 626-618-1100 x112, might be worth a shot.

 

Here are 8.5 +30 front and 9.5+15 rear.

 

Damn man, what's it like driving with that monster 275 in the front? Does it feel heavy or pull when you go over bumps?

 

Thanks for the info and the shot of the ss with rpf1's. I think Im going with 9.5 +15 fronts as well seeing as how I was going to do those in the front with 10.5 in the rear.

 

OK so I just bought the rears today...went with 18x10.5 +15...yes they make em I have em.. Pretty wide

 

Wow, 10.5! That's really wide. My 9.5 +15's barely fit using kinda narrow 275's on an unlowered car. I hope this works for you, but you may have to roll your fender lips.

 

Yea I'm sure I will have to roll the fender. The 10.5 is much wider than the 9.5 hopefully it all goes well. Thank you all for the help.

 

it definately has a heavier steering feel, but the turn-in is much more responsive which is what i was after.

As far as pulling over bumps (i think you mean grooves in the road that jerk the car left or right), it only does so on really serious grooves.

 

Hey BeyJer how do you like those tires?

 

Out of the Kumho MX's, BFG KDW's, Yoko AVS 100 and the stock potenza's on the track, the kumho's and kdw's held up the best. in my experience, the kdw's started to get greasy quicker than the mx's, but not by much.

if you're not doing track days, i'd go with the avs 100. i was able to get about 20k miles out of my fronts and about 12k miles out of the rears (lots of highway driving, so had to rotate in between). the reason i have the mx's now is i went from a 25,000 mile a year commute to a 5,200 mile a year commute, so i don't need as much longevity out of them. I also try to squeeze in a couple track days throughout the year, so it's nice to have the kumho's.

 

Yea I love the yoko 100's had them on my WRX years back. I hadnt heard much on the MX's just curious. Thanks for the reply.

 

I had the 10.5+15 enkeis on the rear of my car with a 275/35/18 didn't rub, but then again my drop was kinda low so with the lower drop i had more camber...

 

What suspension did you have?

 

Thanks BeyJer, yep that's what I meant to say...I meant to say "tramlining" but couldn't think of the term when I wrote it.

Didn't you used to run 265/35F, 275/35R? Curious why the switch and what your currently running on the rear.
