They clear BBK's and Brembo's very well.

I run 275/40 rear with 255/40 front, then a 20mm rear spacer and 10mm front spacer. For a daily driver i suggest a 15mm rear spacer so you do not need to run -2.1 rear camber. With a 15mm spacer out back you will be able to drop down to -1.8 and get better tire wear. The front will require about -1.5 to clear with a 255. In this pic i have close to -3, i would much rather daily drive on -1.5, you will get much better life out of your front tires.

So the more positive the offset, the more the center face of the rim is closer to the outside of the car. The more negative the offset, the more the center face of the rim is closer to the inside of the car.
will a 9.5 inch rim fit my 225/245 setup? I see alot of 10 width on the rear in this forum, would that still fit 245?

The lower offset the closer to the fender.
Since your not going for the flush look then the least you want to go for a 9.5" rim is 245. A 225 on a 9.5" rim will be stretched pretty good. Also a 245 on a 10" rim will be stretched pretty good as well.
I suggest going with:
18x9.5 +22 or somewhere close to that offset.
Then run 245 all around or throw some 265's on the back and 245 on front. It won't sit real close to the fender but it won't leave a huge gap.
I have the exact same rims, which needed a 10mm spacer in the front to clear the OEM Brembos. With aftermarket BBKs, it seems no spacer is needed. This is on a G35. Tires are 275/35 front & 275/40 rear, but I'm not lowered.

Should I paint my RPF1's ? Right now they're silver as seen in the picture, I was wondering if I should paint them any color? My roof is painted black and my door handles are black but I want to hear your opinions.. I'm not sure if the wheels would look good black, because you can buy them that way and I want to be "different". I daily drive the car so I want a color that pops but nothing too rice. My only goal would be to paint them a different color, but not a color you could buy
them in if that makes sense.

yeah man they look great. i actually have a set of track wheels that are 18/f and 19/r. im just going to buy 2 more of each and have the 18's for track since 19in A6's are so expensive. i just really want to see a picture with 19s

i can't seem to find the guy with the sunset orange Z running nt03's
but i do know he's running a square setup. my question is--will the 18x10.5 +30's have fitment issues up front? will a spacer be needed?

Yes. My 18x10.5 +27 requires a spacer. I use 13mms of spacer, but I don't know what the minimum necessary is off hand.

i definitely wanna pick up the 10.5's all around---and just want to make sure i pick up the right size spacers up front to clear the susp.
only reason why i wanna go with nt03's is b/c i ran rpf1's on my previous car. i want to change things up
"enkei nto3+m 18x10.5 +30 with 285/35/18 hankook RS3's all the way around
fronts currently have 5/16" spacers on them in order to clear front suspension. Plan is to go to +20 front +15 rear with spacers. Already in hand just need to put em on. "
post #570 on page 29.
i thought that the 10.5s were only available in +30's and the 9.5's are +27 and up.
