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.

265/40R18 tires on 18x9.5 wheels

The tire size is 265/40R18: a 265 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Toyo Proxes R1R. We stock Vision VIS MARINE HEAVY HAULER DTAP 265/40R18 - WVS6902654018R10DTAP at $156 each in this size, and other 265/40R18 tires through the 265/40R18 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

This Subaru Legacy is on stock suspension, so the ride height is factory and the fitment you see here works without lowering the car.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled 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: tucked. The wheels sit inside the fender line. Flush fitment on a Subaru Legacy comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
