Post WHat size tires should i get?

I just bought a set of 18x10 5x114.3 plus 12 offset. Does anyone know what size tire should i get so it wont rub my fenders? Or do i have to roll my fenders? My lex is not drop.

Well if your car is not dropped it will look horrible, after you drop it your going to roll those fenders. Those offsets are aggressive.The question is do you like the stretched look if so then 255/30. If not 275/30.

wait til you actually drive on stretched tires.. I have had 2 friends who kept bumping into potholes and their tires would go flat. luckily they havent scratched the rims by doing so though.
