What is the rear offset? I was thinking of going 9.5 front 10.5 rear +15 all around, but Im thinking I may not need the 10.5 rear, however i do want a clean look in the rear.

Terra,

+10? Is that plus a spacer? What wheel? Rpf1's only have +15 Trying to figure out all the right components and possible options between drop/brake and tire fitament.

I want a clean flush look without a roll.

NT03 +30 , running it with a 20mm spacer. I have both RPF1's and NT03's. Look in the stock body with aftermarket wheels thread. The pic with decals is sitting at +10 , the other pic im at +20.

there is no such thing

2 things can't occupy the same space...you either get it flush, which means you need a roll, or you get it not flush (via a more conservative offset), and deal without a roll

Understood, but i prefer no spacers for tracking and am concerned with weight savings also, What offsets would meet this?

Depends on the tires you want to run for the track, also for the track you want the ability to run different size tires. With my NT03's in +30 i can run a 315/30-18 then for narrower tires i just space them as required. Tracking with spacers is no big deal, as long as you have proper studs.

RPF1 18x10.5 in +15 with well rolled fenders will clear some brands 295/35-18's, but i couldn't run anything wider.

as many threads have discussed, there is no magic answer...it is completely dependant on:

your exact tire choice (size being virutually meaningless, as sizes vary by brand and tire type)

your height

your alignment settings

your wheel choice

it also depends on what your idea of flush is - everyone has different opinions. Your best bet is simply to spend time looking at pictures with Z's that wear a style wheel you like, and as you find a setup that suits you, ask the member about the rest of it

the bottom line is that with out rolling your rear quarter panels, you are not going to be flush, or anything really approaching flush in the internet accepted term of the word

Credit to Mr Sparco for the pics. I'd like rpf1's for weight and these here look great on super black(my color also).

This to me is nice and clean and looks functional.

The only caveat is that it's hard to see rear gap on 35 profile tire. <HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #606060; COLOR: #606060" SIZE=1>

^ I haven't gotten any of my planned off season mods yet. I shouldve grabbed those bc's from you, great deal...

I most likely will go with Rpf1's in 9.5 and 10.5 +15 just debating color to go with Super black. I like the gunmetal, but would like to see them mounted on the same car. Nobody I've seen has this color.

Tires 245/40 and 275/40 probably nitto nt05 or similar.

Same wheels on my car, will be running NT05's or RS3's next season with 275/35 front and 285/35 rears.
