Nice look. I believe that the 18x9.5 will have a more concave face.

Look at the size chart. The Wide 5x100 sizes have terrible offsets.
You know how a concave face is achieved .. right?

18x9.5 + 45 will be semi-concave I think ... however I don't know how well that will fit.

Another good option from Enkei. Tuning Wheels series is real solid w/ these and Fujin. They look freak'n great in the Mat Black.

A little simple math might change your mind.
If the wheel is a 9" wide wheel The center line is 4.5 agreed? If +45mm divided by 25.4 = 1.77 that would be the offset from centerline right? 4.5 + 1.77= 6.27 so the mounting pad would be 6.27 from the rear lip? That leaves approximately a 2.78 concave which will mostly be transmitted in that design from the spoke to the lug holes. Not great but Probably the same as a Rota Grid?
