I purchased ESR SR05 18x9.5 +35 thinking they would fit since I’ve seen a couple 2ISs run these wheels. I bought them awhile ago, I was just waiting for my coilovers to arrive (Fortune Auto took 3 months).

I’m not too sure what I should do, I don’t really want to run spacers so I might just sell them since they’re still brand new.

If you have any advice, please let me know.

 

Does the caliper touch the spokes or the wheel on the inside?

 

The OEM 18" stagger wheels have 45mm front and 50 or 55mm rear offset and the rear 8.5" won't clear the front calipers on the 350... The need about a 10mm spacer.

 

The caliper touches the spokes.

 

Damn, 10mm isn’t too bad but that’s 10mm more than I originally wanted haha. I probably have to roll the fenders as 9.5 +35 would have been pretty close to flush & I’m running 245/40s. I’d probably just get spacers for the rears as well since I want the setup to be squared.

I’m probably going to go to a tire shop & see if they could help measure it unless there’s an easy way I could do it myself.

Before I do all of this, I’m going to see if there’s any interest in the wheels because at the end of the day, I’d prefer to not run spacers.

 

There is an easy way. Get the wheel on there and start some nuts. Of all my options at the time i had various different paint stir sticks laying around.
Pull the wheel out and evenly place stir sticks between wheel and hub and snug the nuts.

That said, there are lots of options. Washers could be used to. Get creative, as your not driving it just looking to see how much clearance you need.

So I went to a tire/wheel shop on the weekend, the guy measured it & said I’d probably need to run a 1.5 inch spacer. Looks like I’m selling the wheels haha.

 

Time to get the Rotiforms

 

I wonder how these look on an 2IS, I was actually thinking of getting Rotiform RSEs before haha 👀

 

Please snap a shot of the inside of the wheel as a warning to others. Apparently the 350 caliper was not accounted for in this application.
