Been reading a lot of responses here and in the Aggressive wheel & Fat Tire thread but just want some confirmation before finalizing what I'm going to buy. Going with the RPF1's 18/9.5 +15 (front) and 18/10.5 +15 (rear). Car was just lowered on Tein S-Tech springs last weekend. No further suspension work will be done (outside of new shocks/struts) unless I need a camber kit after I get an alignment.

I don't mind rolling the rear fenders but would like to avoid any fender work up front if possible. Looking at either 265/35-18 or 275/35-18 tires up front and 295/35-18 tires in the rear.

Which tire size is preferable to avoid rubbing in the front and will that size in the rear with a fender roll, avoid rubbing? If I'm way off base here on what I need please correct me. I don't track it so this is purely for aesthetic reasons. Thanks

Fender rolling will be needed in the back for sure. 285/35-18 on 10.5 +15 with -2.5 camber is a tight fit with my rear fenders rolled.

I run -2.75 camber up front and think the 275/35's I ran (also on 10.5 +15) didn't even need the fenders rolled (although I did it anyway). 285/35 is snug though.

I run a 275/35, - 2.4 camber front and a 275/40 - 2.0 camber rear. I at one point had a 295/35 - 2.5 all around, and didn't like the feel, but you have to roll the rear fenders.

265/35-18 front and 285/35-18 rear is what I recomend. You will need a roll put back and maybe an ever so slight pull up front ( by hand, just grab and pull, takes 2 minutes per side.)

Thank you everyone, for the replies!

It sounds like 265/35 up front and 285/35 in the rear is the way to go to avoid issues.

Just out of curiosity and I realize everyone's suspension setups and cars are different but people that are running RPF1's (with a +15 offset) with the really wide rear tire setups (295 mm, 305 mm etc); how are they doing this? Is it just messing with the camber of the car? I have a slight drop on my car and it seems that it's prohibiting a tire wider than 285 mm. I guess I'm just a little confused since it seems most people are dropping the car an inch or more and they're able to fit wider tires both in front and in the rear.

Thanks

^^^ They are pulling the sh*t out of their fenders, I've also seen the fenders themselves trimmed to make 285+ to fit (or honestly they're just not low). I ran 285/35 on 18x10.5 +15 square for a while, was dropped low with -3.3 f and -2.6 r camber.. still rubbed at full lock on hard driving depending on my dampening. Back to 275/35 f and 275/40 r now.

This is how my front looked right after I installed 285/35 RS3's, before I pulled my front fenders and ran more camber:

I'm dropped about 1.5 inch in the rear and run -2.2 camber and a 5mm spacer. I can get a 295 on it no problem. The front, 285 is tight , really tight but works.

Thanks for the insight and responses guys. Decided to go with 265/35-18 up front and 285/35-18 in the rear just to be safe this time around (with rolled rear panels).

Default Rpf1 Fitment w/Brembos

Okay so I tried researching but I couldn't find what I was looking for. So those that are running Enkei Rpf1 with brembos, what are your specs? If you guys have pictures might as well post them too
