Oh kee dokey
I am buying rota p45r 18x9.5 20+ or a 35+
Me Knowing that a 18x9.5 with a 35+ offset will fit flush and have no need for rolling or pulling.
But just to be 100% sure does a 20+ need a slight roll or pull?
Or would everything work out okay?
I am on stock/maybe a 1 inch drop nothing major.

Also I need to know tire sizes for these wheels I dont want a mad stretch but I also hate huge sidewalls, so any advice on the situation would help out greatly.
On rim tuck a guy is running rota torques 18x9.5 with a 255/35 that is what I am kinda going for
any mod's needed to fit these ?

P.s I know rota's are knock off's but I actually really like the p45r's!
Thanks alot for any help !!!

Get lots of options and offsets already on cars. Kinda irritates me that the 2+2 and 2+0 are separate on there even though they have the same suspension geometry though.

That's actually where I got the 18x9.5 20+ set up from!
I am just curious to know If I will need to pull or roll my back fenders at all on the tire sizes listed previously.
I know camber wont be an issue unless I got with a 10"+ width.
I actually think edgar told me one time that you can fit a 22+ offset on stock suspension without mods.
But I am just trying to double check hell maybe ever triple check myself before dropping the cash!

What tire sizes you gonna run? I really doubt 255/35's on 18x9.5+20's are gonna need anything more than a roll (if that) with your 1 inch drop.

Your height will be the only thing saving you from needing to do any work and even then you may need a roll/camber still with a +20. My 18x10 +35 rear sits in 9mm more than the 9.5 +20 would granted i run a wider tire but a 255/35 isn't really stretched on a 9.5 either.

Here is a pic for reference 18x10 +35 rear (yours will be sticking 9mm more out) and 18x9 +25 front with a 255/35 (yours again in the front would be out 11mm more than mine in the pic.)

You can make them fit obviously just dont be suprised if when you get them that you need to do some rolling etc.

i actually just bought some varrstoens 18x9.5 with a 30+ offset.
in order for them to look decent I need a slam and pull and roll correct?
other wise they will be poking mad hard

With an 18x9.5 +30 you will be pretty much identical to my setup above both front and rear I would stick to the 255/35 that you mentioned as well and just run a square setup.

shoulda looked around...

18x9.5 +35 you shouldn't have to do anything, in fact, you can get 18x9.5 +22 for all 4 and you don't need to do anything.
just look into my threads where i posted up some fitment.

here's a couple pics

this is 18x10.5 +22 with 265-35-18
Image

fronts 18x9.5 +22 with 255-35-18
Image

it does not rub in the front or rears... although the rears, being 10.5 wide, stuck out just a little bit.
with that being said 18x9.5 +22 should be fine (i have pics on my other thread to show as well)

18x9.5 will fit just fine. :dblthumb:

i had a 22+ set ordered and kinda sissy'd out at the last second.
So I bought a 30+ that way I know I would be 100% sure it would fit.
they should still have the same amount of concave to em right?

Unlike the real deal where offset/size effects how concave they are or not I don't think it matters on the varrstoens. If your not happy with the +30, spacers are always an option but I would get the wheels on the car first and decide from there if your happy or not.
