Enkei Wheels RS05RR 18x9.5 +45 specs

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 9.5 inches wide with a +45 offset.

A +45 offset on a 9.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a conservative, factory-like position. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

235/40R18 tires on 18x9.5 wheels

The tire size is 235/40R18: a 235 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a stretched fit (the tire is narrower than the wheel, which pulls the sidewall in and helps clear the fender).

The owner chose Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. We stock Lexani LXUHP-207 235/40R18 at $86 each in this size, and other 235/40R18 tires through the 235/40R18 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The car is lowered on BC Racing coilovers, which lets the owner dial in ride height and camber to clear 18x9.5 +45 and get the flush look.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, 4mm spacers, pulled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Volkswagen GTI comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
