I just realized I don't have a good picture with my RPF1s. Here's mine (17x9.5+18 with 245/40/17 and 17x10+18 with 275/40/17):

I already have 19" Volk SF Challenge with Akebonos, was looking for 18" options to take the weight down a bit, and also wanted a general change from my current setup.

Default A little info and PIC Request: 275/35/18 KDW2s on 9.5 +15 RPF1s in Front

I am looking to pick up some tires for daily use.

Although I am still waiting on delievery they will be going on 9.5F/10.5 RPF1s in Gunmetal

I have done some reading and I am pretty sure they will fit but I'm not sure if I will need to roll the fenders. I am not completely opposed to this just would like to know.

Looking to put 275/35/18 KDW2s in front and 295/35/18 in the rear. I know that the width varies tire to tire so this is why I am curious about this specific setup.

I suppose my question is has anyone run this setup, I have searched and haven't really found it exactly. I have seen alot of 265s up front and 275s just on different offsets. So input would be appreciated and Picture would be awesome.

Easily done, front fenders will need a good pull or add some front camber. Camber is the easiest thing to do and is needed.

If you plan to keep 265's up front I would go 9.5 for the front

I love the 18 x 10 x 4 RPF1 set-up. Needs some spacers, but love all the tire that fits.

Basics: the wider the better, 18s and 19s most popular, 9.5 inch wider or more, the lower the offset the more the wheel sticks out, the higher, the more the wheel sinks into the car. But take a look around on the Enkei wheels thread to see what width and offsets catch your eyes

There's some vendors in here that you can also PM. They can set you up with a good price, packaged deals etc...
