Will they fit without fender mods?

Thanks

Lowered on Tein S-Techs. Can anyone recommend what size spacer to run to make the wheels flush without having to do any rolling / fender mods?

I dont mind slight rubbing on the lining too much but im more worried about destroying my fromt fender tabs breaking, ultimately resulting in my bumper tabs all breaking and eventually caving in which was what happened on my 20x8.5/10 +30 set up. I have flared fenders all around with my tabs relocated in the rear. Im pretty low on megan lp streets with no tire gap on stock 18's. if im gonna run into brackets breaking going with the +25 set up id rather just go conservative. Any thoughts?

I don't mind flush or slightly under. The fender just don't want them to poke I was also going to wrap them in 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 to try and keep to stock as possible any suggestion would be greatly appreciated thanks from the uk oh it's a is220

correct, you won't need fender work. that offset will be really close to flush, it might sit in just by a few mm but it should look pretty good. As far as tires, that setup you have is good.

Right now I'm using 19x8.5 +35 225/35 and 19x9.5 +40 265/30, lowered to no 1/2 finger gap at front and no finger gap at back. Been driving like this for 2 months and one of my front tire bubbled and one of my rear wheel hops. So I'm getting a new wheel to replace the back and planning to get thicker tires, want to try the meaty tires setup. My question is can you guys recommend what size tire should I get without having to modify my fenders? Thank you in advance

tires will develop a bubble when there's a breach in the sidewall construction which allows the pressurized air to attempt to escape at that point, causing the bubbling. usually it's because of unusual forces applied to that area that causes the breach in the sidewall construction. however, certain tire brands/models are more likely to bubble than others, simply due to cost-cutting production methods (or even materials used).

if low profile tires has caused that many issues for you, i recommend considering going back to 18's.
