^I don't think anyone has. I don't know that I've ever seen any 18" rpf1 on an s2k.
Riley used to have 18 inch rpf1's

Yall are buggin about 9.5" +38 being flush... That's going to be my front specs and my rears are either going to be 10" +18 or +38. I can't wait until there off backorder
the 10 +18 wont fit.. trush me.. not without overfenders at least.. the 10 +38 will stick like an inch and a half out of the stock body.. i cant imagine the work that needs to be done to get at 10 to fit especially if it took a lot of body work to make my 9.5 +38, but i guess its because im running a meaty ass tire

right now im running a 9.5" +38 rear with a 245/40/17 running -3 camber being slammed on megan coils and i have plent of room to work with...About a full inch in the front and about a half in the rear. If you use the wheel offset calculator youll see that a 10" +38 that the outer position only changes 6mm and inside position 6mm when you add the half inch from a 9.5" rim with the same +38 offset. Ill most likely be running a 215/45 on a 9.5" and a 225/40 on a 10". That will make the streches fairly equal with the front having a 23mm strech and the rear is going to be a 25mm stretch. I may be able to fit the rear wheels with my current camber spec of -3, but if i have to ill ad some camber to make them fit a stock body. I do have my fenders rolled and pulled 10mm all around, fender liners modified, and rear bumper mounting tabs shaved and relocated. I know for fact i could fit the 10" +38 and im going to do it!!

Pics for reference on clearance

not to bag on you or anything.... i love the idea of a 17x10 in the rear but whats the point of having the extra size wheel if you cant run a proper tire on it.... just asking for clarification im not flaming on you. good luck with the fitment post pics when you get it done. just for refferance i have a 17x9.5 +38 rear with a 255/40/17 and i dont rub except on major bumps.... no fender mods either... thanx.

255's look good on the 9.5s, u could run a 245 on the front to fill the gap.

Im know everybody has their own personal taste and I appreciate you understanding that as well! Im going for the flush and poke look such as this car. I want my lips to past the fender while the tire is bairly able to under the fender. I want people to look at the car and say, "that car HAS to be on air sitting like that." This car is owned by ShanesG on G35Driver. He has set the bar for the offset game!
