looks too streched and far outside of fender for me. also,if you drove through a puddle or something it would roost the whole side of your car. even my 245/40 18x8 +45 do that in front a little.

Right click , save to ZONE folder, upload to site!!! lol
Although it is more on the aggressive it, its not TOO much, also the tires are still meaty! As we discussed it was these types of aggressive fitments that truly pushed the envelope at HRE, this is IMO what ZONE truly needs to establish a secured footprint in the marketplace. Agressive, yet reasonable fitments on fully modified vehicles
Those that think its too far, remember that Falken Fk451 has a really thick shoulder, I bet withh 255/30 add 285/25 spec this setup would look even more audacious. Sometimes its better to just debut, preview pics lead to debate and conjecturing!! LOL

The tires are stretched on purpose. Part of the vip look. That's not even that radical of a stretch either, from the looks of it.
Looks good to me.

Haha... I knew what Derrick would think! Good points, all - as Chuckb said, I am also concerned a little bit about showering the sides of the car with rocks and debris- especially with a new paint job!
The good news is that the tires a stretched a little, so the tread width (effectively) isn't as aggressive as the lip of the wheel. Derrick is also right about the shorter tires looking cooler- the 255/30-20 and 305/25-20s are quite a bit shorter than my current set-up.
I have been considering our new 21" wheel (forged one-piece), but I can't get as much lip as the three-piece stuff. 21s would be sick, though... and they'd be about the same overall diameter as my current 255/35 & 285/30-20 set-up (I would use Toyo T1-R 255/30-21 + 295/25-21).
Here are two more pics with different angles. In person, the wheels don't look quite as aggressive= the wide angle lens distorts the pictures somewhat and emphasizes the center of the image (in this case, the wheels) more.

same here bob, i think it's a bit too much. it looks to me they stick out too much now. with your old setup i already think the rear is right against the "wall" and the front is a bit too much out.
you are crazy and yeah, with these wheels, i would be concerned with all the rock chips
