Rota Grid R 18x9.5+38 hellp
Hey guys ok I've been looking at buying rota grid R ( concaved face ) not normal grids , now only problem is that they only make them in width of 9.5 / 18x9.5+38 witch I have Been told no way they will fit / clearance shocks on front and back ? Or I won't fit rubber on them ? And yes I will get guards rolled but do I have any hope of fitting these on ? Without a truck load of drama and will it be smooth ride ? HELP GUYS BEFORE I SPEND $1100 bucks and maybe give me a tyer size to put on them??

+38 offset? Not much of a concave look then. Im currently working on fitting 18x9.5 +23 offset and its a pain.
Fronts were easy due to coilovers being able to add negative camber. Rears isn't going further than -1.5 degree camber, which isn't enough to tug them under the guards, so Im getting custom made camber arms for the rears to get it to fit.
with +38 of your rims, you may not need to do much camber, but it will more than likely rub the suspension parts inside.. so if I was you, I wouldn't get them, and look for alternative similar rims with a better size.

i managed to fit it in. 9.5 with +38 like urs.
Here is a run down of what you need to do:
-Roll and flare guards rear only front no problem but then again I am using coilovers.
-Get yourself a 3mm or 5mm spacer cost maybe only $10 a pair for the front and rear. Minimum is 3 but I get 5 just in case. With this spacer, it will clear your arm at the back and will clear your shock strut at the front. (I am using coilovers not sure bout stock suspension). I had 1.5- Camber on front.
- Stretch tyres. Thats the only way to do it. 225/40/18 Thats what I used. I dont rub front and rear with 5 people on board even.
Good luck and dont give up. If u want to do it, it can be done. 9.5 look sick and fat
Here is mine with it on

if there is an option, go with 18x9 +36 - you'll get the look you are after without the hassles (just a roll in the rear).
also look at something in the enkei range - which are quite decent and made in japan (cast not forged), or even work rims. both of which are decently priced

we are fascinated by that which can destroy us...
