Sl only has +22 and +15 for 10.5... don't get 9.5 if u had x, waste money
disagree 100%. 10.5 is too big for the x unless you're auto-xing. None of the standard rules apply for auto-x. So if your not buying the wheels for auto-x, then 10.5 will just hurt performance and provide no gains and cost more.

9.5 with the proper offset will look agressive and be a better wheel for 99% of all people interested.

And be lighter by atleast a lb, and cheaper in the short and long term.
 
the pics are not very good, but will give you an idea of 18x10 +30

You could go with a factory camber setting and still be fine.

I have driven through dips and uneven roads on the freeway at high speed and no rubbing. Drove out of my steep driveway sideways to see how the wheel tucks in...clears perfect!

Ohlins is next on my list. I'm looking forward to another half to inch drop.
 
I believe a 9.5 +22 will stick out another 7mm more than my setup.

nope, see my maths on post 11. 9.5+22 will sit 1.65mm further out, so basically no difference.

your right..thank you. I got mixed up with my co-workers RPF1's 9.5 +15
 
I believe I'm the only one running 18X10 +30 offset TE37sl along with 275/35/18 Michelin PSS tires on Swift SpecR springs and revalved bilsteins. PERFECT setup!!! No rubbing whatsoever!!

If you don't want to roll the fenders like me, DON'T DO IT!! I think the factory look is beautiful. You roll the fenders and it does not look the same. Unless you don't mind and are going for that aggressive look.

With this setup you can lower the car more with no issues. I took pics, just have not uploaded to my computer yet.
sigghhh.. I can show you several X's with rear rolled fenders and you can't tell.. Doesn't affect the body if its done right.. If you have to pull em the yeah you can tell..
 
Nice setup Cyp. I *was* going to get 18x10 +30 TE37SL Black Edition w/ 275 PSS but was worried that the inner clearance wouldn't be enough for coilovers. Instead I went with 18x9.5 +22 w/ 265 PSS. I'd be curious to hear how your Ohlins work out.

Also, here's another website that's very helpful for figuring out how different wheels and tires will fit.

What he said my fenders are rolled and you wouldn't even know they were, unless I told you. Shop did amazing job on them. I'm running volk te37sl black edition 10.5 with dunlop zll 275 tires

You can roll the rear fender tab completely flat without pulling the fender out so much as a single millimeter. Most people dont even go completely flat either, they just roll it enough to clear rubber then they stop.

If youve seen different, then it was done by an amateur or a complete stancer.

Thanks for that input. Could you post some pics of your car with attention to the rear fender?
 
I have the TE-37 SL's 18x9.5 +22. The ideal tire size for that wheel is the 265/35/18. It will fit nice, won't rub if you have any reasonable amount of camber in the back (-1.5ish or more) and looks great.
