285's on a 10.5 +30mm does NOT fit upfront it hits the arm that goes to upper ball joint. 5/16 spacer (about 8mm) gives it JUST ENOUGH. So looks like 10.5 +22ish is the best you can go upfront

I had to work today so no pics picking up car tomorrow and ill post up

Finally installed. The only thing that was in question was clearance around the Akebono brakes. Turns out, no problem. Woot!

That makes sense. I run my 285s on 10.5s at either +15, or more preferably, at about +23.

Fits about how I thought it would - a little poke out in the rear, but not bad. Will probably scuff on a big dip, but looks good!

They don't fit the other Enkei wheels, at least not the RPF1; they are totally different.

I just bought a set of 18x10 +25 all the way around. Any advice on what tires to run? Im not running spacers(bad experience) and Im not rolling the fenders. Im dropped on sportlines.


thanks.

265/35 front 285/35 rear

could possible go bigger but that all depends on what camber you want to run as well.

think the 285 will rub without rolling?? maybe I should go 275 to play it safe?

at 18x10.5 with a 285 my rears are sunk. I am running a 15mm spacer to bring them out to being close to my rolled and slightly pulled fenders. I do not think that with your Size you will have any running issues at all. However you can very well drop to a 275 if you want piece of mind. But then I would drop to a 255 front.

I would stick to 285/265 though.

Why the fear of a mild roll?? A slight roll will never give you paint issues and will give you the piece of mind that the metal wont contact your tire since it is pointed upward instead of straight out.
