Default Running an 18 x 9.5 at all corners

Is anyone running this setup? I'm wanting to go with Rota P45's but only size in stock is the 9.5" wide wheels. So are there any disadvantages to going with an unstaggered setup? Offset on these wheels is +20 I believe.

If theres anyone running these size wheels front and rear, what tire sizes are you using? I've been recommended 275 front and 295 rear.

Thanks

So looks like I'll go ahead and get em. Gonna be going with the black w/red lip P45's.

If I remember correctly, you will need to roll your rear fenders with the +20 offset P45R's.

I run rota p45r all around, which are 18x9.5 and have a +25 offset. I run 265/35 in the front and 275/35 in the rear. The front is pretty much perfectly flush with the body of the car, it fits perfectly. The clearance is fairly tight in the front, you might be able to squeeze 275's in there, but it depends if you want to lower your car and by how much.

Also, in my opinion you gotta go with the p45r all around, I don't like the flat face in the front then the concave face in the back. Just my opinion though.

Did you have to roll your rear fenders going with the 275's?

My car is still stock height, so no there is plenty of room. It looks like you could lower it quite a bit without having to roll the fenders.

275s fit up front given the right offset.
