18x9.5 +15 offset rpf1's. will this fit or would some fender rolling be needed and/or spacers?

Look up what spacers do and try to imagine if that would help

+1 w/what J said.

Fender rolled flat w/shaved tabs and some creative alignment specs. You could still run a fat tire too.

I don't know what too far in or too far out means. I don't know what size tires you want. I don't know your suspension setup. I don't know what fender mods you are ok with. I just know you don't know enough to ask an appropriately formed question

Ok Then, fender rolling isnt that big of a deal, suspension is stock R3 for now, Tire size I was going to ask what would be the best fit after I found out more about the wheel size.. and offset questions.. just looking for answers man, all you had to do was ask not tell me that I dont know what im talking about.. obviously I dont if im asking around.

19"'s are heavy, unless you're a baller and can afford some quality forged wheels. Especially with an R3, why add an extra 5+ lbs unsprung weight to each wheel?

These would be great for factory replacements for R3's, and if I had one that didn't have the stock BBS, I would look into these.

18x10 16.1 lbs $612.00, trust me that's cheap for a wheel of this weight and quality, you can get them in many offsets as well, if you go +40 or higher offset with a 265/35 semi no fender work required, and your car will handle like a hero.

Yes...if you go 18x10 ALL AROUND that means the fronts too.

just to give you some perspective...there has been a person who ran 19x11.5's and you're talkin' about fitting something no where near as close.

It would save you a lot of frustration and headache to just dedicate the 20 minutes getting flamed on this thread by asking n00bish questions n' just spend it researching wheel threads.

btw, learn what OFFSETS are before you start asking about what fits n' what doesn't. It's vital in judging what will fit n' what won't. To give you an idea of what it looks like when people ask that is literally like going to a shooting range with a gun that has no bullets n' asking people there 'HOW DO I SHOOT THIS THING!?'.
