I was looking at 18x10.5 +15 wheels.
Would those be too wide? I wanted the wheels to stick out with the fender flares.
 
You'll absolutely need flares to clear those. What flares are you looking at? There's a few on here running similar size wheels and offsets.
 
Just for reference, I'm running 18x8.5 +37 with a 245/40/18 and it is nearly perfectly flush with the body. You'll want to consider that when you're figuring out the flare thickness and the added wheel width/more aggressive offset.
 
Stolen from ileagleracing build thread since he just posted and has a 10.5 on the car. These are +18? IIRC, didn't see it posted on his build. I know DG-FNR had a similar size and ACM if you can find their posts, but this should give a good view of a comparable wheel. Are you planning to put a proper tire under the car or is this going to be a stretched stance setup?

I have a new set in carbon fiber I won't be using if you're interested.
Depends on what your asking. Plus I'm kind of taking a break from buying from sellers. Too many people not shipping items I paid for.
 
they will poke out and fit yes, as you are ET15 you gain some clearance from the knuckles so depending on your tire size you should be good.

i use a ET25 in 18x10.5 on a 295 tire and i have to sand the rear knuckle down about 10mm to give clearance and i already sanded the fronts down 5mm but as i said your 10mm further away so you should be perfectly fine!


you wont have the shock hitting issue i had either BUT you might touch your front and rear fender wall plastics as i dont sometimes!

Since Sam didn't reply I will. I know this car. The fenders are cut. No flares but the openings are bigger. So don't expect a 10.5 to clear the fenders.
