i was told the wheels are +15. the spacer is not much. like 5mm or so. it just needed room for the inside of tires to clear. I need to take a look at the wheels when i take them off to be sure though since i just bought them and test fitted this weekend.
To clear what? If they are 9.5 +15, they should clear without a spacer. I run that size with a 285/35, as well as a 285 on 10.5 +15.

well im not sure, the guy i bought them from, said the fronts wouldnt clear the inside with the 285's so he gave me his spacers that he had to use. wish i would have known that before i installed longer studs this weekend...
It's all fun until you have to replace the 19" A6....the 18's are pricey enough!
haha you arent lying. Luckily the rears only have 2 races on them. And i have 6 extra v710's for the front. All this wheels/tires for $600. I couldnt beat it.
I've seen a guy track a 9.5 +20 with 285/30 on the front and 10.0 +22 with 295/30 in the rear on a Z, but I limit my 9.5's to 275's.
He is looking at 17" RPF1s.

I have only seen the Dunlop Star Spec in 265/40/17, which of course works. I ran 275/40/17s on 9s forever, then (wide Hoosier 275/40/17s) on 17x10 FN01R-Cs.
The 17x9.5 +18 ones I'm getting I'm putting 255/40/17 RS3s on cause they cost $125.00 a tire
Well don't you already have 265 RS3s on that 9.5 +15 front? You can fit larger (275 or 285), but the consensus is that the RS3s like a little stretch, so that 265 is perfect. Why would you change it up at this point?

I'm potentally just gonna sell my 18in RPF1s and buy the 17s and put some spacers back on. My friend I've been talking to wanted to know whether he could fit 275/285 combo or even just a 285 square on a 9.5/10.5.
I didn't know the answer so that's why I'm asking.
