Default 18x9.5 help!

sup dudes. im currently running enkei raijins 18x8.5 +38 all around with 20 mm spacers in the back and 15 mm in the front.

my next set of rims i want to run 18x9.5 with 255/40s(or 45s)
however i want it to be a perfect fit. i dont want any rubbing and i want it to fit like my wheels do right now with the spacers.

i HATE spacers, thats why i want a new set. everytime you hit a bump its brutal especially in the windy city
where i live

im selling my enkei raijins with tires and spacers for 1000 shipped. pm for details

winters here and im running 225/45 blizzaks on my stock wheels

PLEASE help me find the perfect fitment(wheel size, tire size, wheel offset)

ive seen a lot of people with sick looking concave rims. please post your pics and dimensions! thanks!

some pics of really nice looking concave 18x9.5 rims will be greatly appreciated. plz include dimensions of the perfect fit

the fitment i have right now is perfect but if you live in a city with a million potholes on every road, every bump is pure torture when running spacers. im running enkei raijins 18x8.5 with 225/45/18 all seasons and i love the look. i want the same look but with a more concave wheel. im on tein ssp coilovers and its lowered to hide wheel gap. i want the same look but no spacers and 18x9.5s with the widest tires i can get (255? if i can) but will it rub and will it fit and look the same as it does right now?

that looks nice cement. but my question to you guys is whats the widest rim and tire size i can pull off without rubbing or having to roll fenders. would a high offset be ideal so it doesnt stick out much?

They're 18x9.5 +25 with the stock 225/45 tires, once they're finished im going to 225/40 to have a little less sidewall and go lower.

No I think a +35 offset would be a nice flush set up

+35 is pretty much flush, very little poke. rear could use a 5-10 mm spacer but 9.5 +35 fits really well. +45 would be too sunken in
