RS05RR wheel fitment w/Face R design

I'm still browsing through older threads, but I figured I'd post this up because I'm serious about getting wheels within < 6 months - 1 year.



I want these Enkei wheels in the R face configuration- I might be willing to settle for the M face, but that's a big if. For anyone wondering about the face differences, see below:



Here are the "smallest" wheel sizes in the R config:

18x10 / 5x114.3 / Offset +22 (Face R)
18x10.5 / 5x114.3 / Offset +35 (Face R)

For people running bigger wheels, will either of these work? I've rolled and have even cut fenders (came out great- primed and painted the bare paint, etc) in the past, but I don't think I'm willing to do either to the TL at this point. I guess more than anything I'm attracted to the deeper concave look, but I'm thinking these just aren't going to fit in the 10.5 +35 sizing. I'm just having a hard time finding something I want to buy. I would really like OEM G37 wheels, but they're hard to find and come staggered which is not interesting to me- if I went that route I would need to buy 2 sets of wheels to pair the same sizes together.

Anyways, just thinking out loud. Thanks for any help.

Is your car lowered? If so, you won't be able to really fit those wheels without at least a fender roll. Even with a fender roll, you'll need to run stretched tires like 245/40 and have your fenders pulled.

You can definitely make these wheels work, just depends on what look you're going after and what you're willing to sacrifice to make it work.
At stock height you'll have a lot of poke or the mexiflush look, and at a lower height you'll have the "stance" look.

Yea, lowered on Tein SAZ. I don't want hella flush though- just moderate/proper flush. The more I see aggressive fitment pictures coupled with me wanting to handle well still + not having an over-the-top aggressive look, I'm thinking the Type M spokes would probably suit my needs/style a lot better. I really wish I could fit the more concave wheels without having to modify the fenders or run smaller tires though.

I'm thinking this size 18x9.5 / 5x114.3 / Offset +35 (Face M) but they would probably still have fitment issues if I went 245 or 255 and low?

Anyone know if these would clear Brembos?
