Paging Brad!

If I put an Enkei Kojin 18x9.5 et30 with a 275x40/18 on the rear of my coupe, will it poke real bad at stock ride height? Planning on an 18x8.5 et35 with 245x45 on the front. Anybody know anything about MiRo wheels? Thanks!

Let me back up for a second. I had a set of RP03s ordered in 18x9.5 et38 but they have been discontinued. I really like the look of the Kojin but I don't want to lower the car to make them look right if they poke too much. The other possibility I'm looking at is the MiRo 398. Any help would be appreciated.

Might look into these Konigs
TreadDepot.com: Konig Centigram Black / Machined Wheels
Or for a bit more money but a great Japan made wheel this would be my pick
TreadDepot.com: SSR GTV01 Black Wheels

In the future, please use a more relevant thread title or simply send Brad a PM.

PS: if you scroll up, you'll notice a Tire/Rim calculator that could be helpful.

Sorry about that
I'll cut a piece of 1 inch square stock and lay it against the outside of the tire for a visual aid to see if the offset will work. The calculator says it will push out about that far with a 30 offset. Thanks guys!
P.S.
I like that SSR too. Thanks Brad

The 9.5 +35 w/ 265s should be fine in the back of your coupe. I should have some time tonight to show you some fitments.
Here's a pic of Lt8che coupe w/ 9.5 +30 on 265s and fits great (reply#9)

I checked the offset calculator and took some measurements today. From what I can tell, the 9.5+30 with a 275x40 should fit but just barely. I want to stay with an 18 inch wheel for the sidewall height of the tire, and I can live with a mild drop if that's what it takes to work with that wheel tire combo. (Tanabe springs?) This forum is an overall great resource for info on mods from mild to wild, and I appreciate the efforts of the members here to make that info accessible. The time that Brad puts into helping the members here with wheel/tire questions is particularly commendable. Thanks again.

You'll be OK running that size in back, check out Sylos' pics in the first part of this thread, he's running 10" +35 and 295s on his coupe (they're 20" wheels but will still be the same at the fender as the 18s).

Thanks for the kind words BTW
