right? and would this clear the ls400 calipers?
Well an 8.5" +35 normally clears BBKs, you should be fine.

C'mon man, that one has been covered a lot. Did you use the "Search This Thread" feature? I found the answer to those wheel size/offsets in seconds.

I read at least 20 pages of this thread prior to buying my current wheels/tires setup. One might say, "good for you, you have plenty of time to waste". News flash bro, modding cars is a hobby, and hobbies are times you wanna waste instead of doing NOTHING, which really is wasting time. Am I making sense?

Big ups to my homie raine for taking time in making a chart and stuff to make it easy to understand.

Hello all, I'm looking at some Work Rezax 18x10 & 18x11 +19 all around. What would I have to do to fit the fronts? I have LS brakes and all 4 corners are rolled. Thanks!

also checking out the rezax in our classifieds. 18x9.5 & 18x11 +13 all around

I recently put 18x9.5 rpf1s on my car, and my car has coilovers. Now I'm experiencing a humming noise, and a slight vibration threw the steering wheel above 35 mph. They are not rubbing, so my question is do you guys think its from the wheels not being properly balanced? Or could my car possibly need an alignment? I never noticed it with stock wheels and tires.. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The humming might just be tire noise

Vibration after just changing wheels is usually wheel balance, get them checked out and make sure you hand torque the lug nuts (no air guns!!)

Also, you are using conical lugs right?

-are your lug nuts torqued down to spec? If not, grab a torque wrench and check every single one
-are you running the correct lug nut? Oem mag type lugs won't play nice w/ your enkei's. Iirc those call for tuner lugs or was it accorn style lugs
-are you running hub centric rings?
-is tire pressure even?
-after your coilovers ... did you get an alignment?
-are you running mismatching tires that could possibly create said noise/hum?
-have you tried goin back to oem wheels to see if the car still has the same issues/problems?

Yes, I'm using acorn lug nuts so they seat properly. And another thing i forgot to mention is that I'm not using hub centric rings at the moment. So I suppose that could be the problem right there. I'm going to order some asap and see if that solves my problem. If not I will have the wheels rebalanced.

I am running 2 different tires, there on front to back though, not side to side. I'm almost positive its because i don't have hub centric rings. I did my best to center the wheels while tightening the lugs while it was in the air, but maybe it wasn't good enough.

I want to run the widest tires I can, with stock fenders, front & rear with 19's (maybe 18's). What tire sizes will fit & what offsets do I need?

If you are rolled completely flat front and rear the +19 set up will fit with camber and stretch of course. And the Rezax are only gonna clear LS brakes if they are high disc in the front.
