might as well stick to something close to stock, then.
stock is 17x8 +45
plus, if you're not lowered, you can go SUPER AGGRESSIVE and not rub at all.
Simply put, its not a one size fits all question.
it depends on LOTS of things.
- how low you're dropped
- if you want to run a stretched tire or if you like a more beefier tire...
i like my cars with some beefy ass tires.
wide is the name of the game. 255mm or wider with tires!!!!
however; you might not like that.
and then there is offset.
lol

If I roll my fenders they'll look like ass when I put my stockies back on for the winter (5 months out of the year). Also I don't trust myself to do it.
I know I want 18", just don't know what width or offset. I don't like the stretched tire look. I've never had aftermarket wheels before so I'm a complete noob at this.
^because you're interested in the RPF1's, are you interested in keeping it as light as possible?
if that's the case, you'll want to keep it small and light.
if not, you can definitely do a 18x9 or 9.5 wheel with a decent offset, but it just all depends on you and what you want and how you want your car to look.
flush, poked, or sunken in
I challenge you to read up on offsets and other wheel related items, because it isnt a one answer fits all.

Yes. I honestly like the Aspec wheels the best, but they're extremely heavy and I don't want to spend money on my car only to make it slower.
I want the closes to flush with the fender as possible. I think the 18x9.5s only come in +15 and +38. +15 is out of the question so would +38 work with aspec suspension? (i think it's only around .5-1" drop).
input stock wheel specs and proposed wheel specs
and it will calculate how far it pokes out
I guess the issue with using that is that I still don't know if the tire will rub the fender.
After doing some searching, I want to do 18x9.5 +38 with 255/40/18 tires. Does anybody have a setup similar to this with Aspec suspension? Any rubbing?
here is my car on aspec suspension with 18x9.5 +22
as you can see it POKES out and Im running a slight stretch with 245mm tires.
Awesome thanks! So many other threads had pics of their setup but all of the images were broken links by now. If you were +22 and a 245 tire, I think going +38 with a 255 tire should still work as well.
The wheels arrived! Damn that was quicker than I expected.

So now i need to finalize on the tire width. With 245's, did you have any rubbing issues (I'm assuming you didn't roll fenders?). I was going to go with 255, but I can't find anyone with 255's on these specs. It seems like a lot of people are rubbing even on 245's, but they're lowered way more than I am.
the acura center caps do fit, but thre not very tight in there. im getting a SBC set in 18x9.5+15 for my type s. running 225/40/18 tyre -2.5 camber in rear -.8 camber in front

I'm assuming the type-s and base center caps are the same size? I want to get the aluminum ones (07-08 base caps) since they're closer to the color of the wheels.
