rim sizes are 9.5 front and 10.5 rear +15 on all four. Isn't this size and spec similar to mosrt oif the RPF01s on this thread - and they don't appear to stick out anywhere near to what are doing. Obviously have to have these exchanged, very disappointing day.


iffest, and before tires got mounted,
Wheels should come in when you drop the car down and it settles, however - fairly aggressive offsets, here is a pic of my enkies with the following offsets:

Front: 19 x 9 +18
Back: 19 x 10 +22

Stock camber, needed to roll fenders in the rear as it was rubbing. Stock height.

Now, I run the same exact offsets/width without rubbing... but an 18" wheel.

As others have stated. You didn't compensate for negative camber after the car is back on the floor. The suspension needs to be reseated and springs compressed to get an accurate idea of what the car will look like.

Don't get them exchanged. I have +15 offsets all around with 285 rears and 255 fronts and I think it's perfectly flush.

255 is certainly a stretch on a 10.5. Some 275s look stretched on a 10.5, and some don't. I think 285 is the minimum one should run on a 10.5. Here is my same Z with another set of RPF1 wheels that I have that are 18x10.5 +15. All have 285/30/18 Hoosier tires on them:

Could you please share what tire sizes are you using? I got same wheel sizes and offsets and I got some serious rubbing both front and rear. I was wondering if a fender roll will solve my problems. I am using 275/30-19 and 295/30-19 tires.

Thanks

Any rubbing on front? According to my calculations you should have 2mm extra clearence on the fender side compared to what I have and my setup rubs?

Unless you're running spacers, a 10.5+15 is much more aggressive than your setup. +22mm further on the fender side and +16mm on the inside rim.
