Want to Purchase some LC818...What Size Tires to Match?
Guys, I'm considering purchasing a set of LC818 wheels from wheeldude. I plan on getting tires first before the end of the week and would like them to be able to fit the LC818's without rubbing. I am also planning to lower the car on Tein H-Techs at some point.
I was reading some previous threads and it looks like a majority of people are going with Hankook Ventus V12's 245/35/19f and 275/30/19r. Can I run these tires sizes on the LC818's with the following specs:
front 19x8.5 and +30mm
rear 19x10 and +38mm
I don't want to do any type of fender rolling or shaving at all. If anyone could confirm before I purchase the tires, that would be great!

You might get away with that size in the front with out shaving...
The Rears will need a shave for sure with a 275/30/19 on a 19x10 with a +38 offset..
^^ That set up works well on an ISx50, but not as easy on an IS-F..
Just to give you an idea..
I had to shave my rear fenders with my 19x9.5 +35 rim with 265/30 tires....

But is it really worth cutting up your sidewalls on your nice new tires???
Shaving the fenders is not has bad as it sounds; if done correctly..

Would putting stock tire sizes (225/40 and 255/35) fix the the possible rubbing problem?
I really would hate to have to roll/shave my fenders but I really like the LC818's and they are priced very well
btw gymkata and joez thanks for your replies so far!
