Lightbulb 18x9.5 +15 with 275/35/18 Front -3 camber

I need new track wheels and need to know if I can fit 18x9.5 +15 Enkei RPF1 with 275/35/18 tires up front with -3 camber settings(with no fender roll). It would only be for track use(road course)
Some say it fits, some say it doesn't, so I don't want to pull the trigger until I'm at least 90% certain

Any input from people running this setup, similar setup or know someone running this setup?

I currently run 18x9.5 +22 but one wheel cracked and they have been discontinued, can't find one anywhere.

Thanks!

ok, got this from another thread.

Anyone else seen or used this setup successfully?

Im running a 10.5 plus 15 with a 265/35 up front with only -1.8 camber and i have my fenders slightly pulled. You should have plenty of space!

I don't want to pull the fenders.

I won't be going with this combo. Thanks though.

You said you want to run a 9.5 15mm offset which is 1 inch smaller than what im running. This means you wont have to touch the fenders at all. They will fit the stock fenders perfect with no modifications!
Summary...
9.5 15mm offset w/ 275/35 fits stock fenders all day!
10.5 15mm offset with 275/35 will need a slight pull. (like a 1/4 of an inch)

i am running R888 265/35/18 (which is almost a 275) on a 18x9.5 +18 offset RE30 with -3.25 camber.

with room to spare.. although my cf fenders are 5mm wider than stock... but i think you should still be fine.

Thanks Chebosto.

I wrote above that I wouldn't go with these, but found a set in the size above and got them. I'll find out next week how they fit and will report back.

The main reason for going with RPF1's was weight. They only weigh 18.6lbs. I'll throw them on the scale just to confirm.

FN01R-C.

I really liked the wheels but I must have run over a pot hole or maybe an off-track excursion did it.
