What's your camber. Get the rears rolled/pulled, you should be fine. Your fitment looks good.

No you need 5x114.3 instead of 5x100. http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...7df0a319d0e3b1 These will work if you get the hub resized though. http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...73e2ce505b3357 These will fit but they are bronze.

i think +38 or +40 would work fine. Depends on profile of tire as well.

^If you are lowered that tire might be a little tall, but i'm not exactly sure. But yes 18X8 +35 will fit without rubbing if you are on 245/45's

It shouldn't but I would suggest to just get it rolled, it would be a lot cheaper.

265 is a safe number and should work w/out a roll on a +45 offset

I didn't think people needed a roll with 275 on a +45? All the people with the 9.5 +45 RPF1 and 275s had to roll?

^No the people with the RPF1's dont have to roll. But those are 18's. Riken's wheels are 19's.

Shouldn't the outer diameter of the tire/wheel be the same hence no difference? edit: I see that he has 275/35 instead of going to 275/30. Ok.
