18" wheels, sport brakes what offset?

Of course itll work. x9 at et 15 is 6mm's narrower on either side of the rim then 9.5 et 15

Btw zoomzoom. Any particular reason why your only doing x9/x10? The car can fit more easy with the correct offsets and your intended camber settings. Also i prefer square wheel/tire sizes over stagger on the 370low for track

I run around -2.6 in the front.

I wouldn't run +15 on offset (20mm spacer?) though, unless there's a reason to?

If I understand correctly, the 18x9.5 +35 should clear just fine according to your data, so why run a spacer that would create clearance issues?

You ran a 275/35 up front with no issues? That definitely simplifies things.

I run with RPF1 18'' 9.5 +15 square setup on a 275 tire.

the rear is perfect and the front you will need to run with a lot of camber or narrow tire.
I had to roll my front fender to make sure it doesnt rub !

they clear my AP BBK.

the +38 in 9.5'' didnt clear the caliper

edit;
-2.7 camber

Rules limit, those are the max.

I used it as a test, 9.5 et15 is the same outside clearance as 10.5 et28 which is what i run now up front because i verified the offset clearance with the 9.5 et15 . Now i run 285/35/18 with 10.5 up front
