I have RPF1 in 18x10.5 +15 in silver, black, and SBC in stock. They're pretty common sizing for some other vehicles.

285/30/18 all around? i think thats the correct size and aspect ratio for near ap2 rear rolling diameters. Manga Spawn and Junky could chime in and tell you more. but this is the 10.5+15 with 285/30 vs the stock 255/40/17 on CRs
its 25mm further away from the strut and 75.4 mm more aggressive on the fender side. or just under 3 inches.


EDIT: if 10.5 all around is too aggressive, go with an 18x10+38 up front in black. 265/35/18. That would be a gold star award for meaty fitment

By the wheel alone, it's not quite 40mm, Around 33mm. And a 265 should be slightly more pinched on a 9.5 than a 255 on a 8.5 would be.

I've fit a 265/35 on a 18x9 +45 with the fenders rolled flat, tabs relocated, and -2 camber though.

I'm going to assume you're not serious and that you're joking. Typing/text can really betray our true intentions and emotions.
But..... just in case you're not, with a setup like that, the first semi-legitimate pothole you come across is going to push your tire into your fender and most likely buckle the shit out of it. You've got no room for your suspension to arc and, you know, geometrizize (made it up, not a real word). Either wheels/tires stay within the vertical plane of the fenders or the entirety of them is beyond the vertical plane of the fenders (i.e. open wheel cars). There's really no in-between.

so would wide body kit or over fenders be absolutly mandatory for 18x10.5 rim with 285 tire ? or could you get away with just rolling the fenders ?

The answer is the same it has been this entire time. IT DEPENDS ON THE OFFSET. The ones pictures above require a widebody. The 18x10.5 +15 requires a widebody. A 18x10.5 +60 could work with a fender roll, tab relo and camber.

would a 18x9.5 wheel with a 45 off set + 265 or 275 tires with fender roll, tab relo and camber work ?

is there a particular reason you want a 265/275? I think a 17x9 with some good tires will probably do you better.
