I had kinda been playing around with the idea of 225/35/18 for the front and 255/35/18 for the rear.

Alright i gots a question, i have 19x9 and 19x10 +23 offset all around and will be using adapters to make them fit.

Do you think ill have to pull my fenders?

^, I'm leaning on a yes, since the average adapter I've seen are roughly 20mm thick, almost an inch. Even the existing offsets are somewhat aggressive, so imagine the wheels sticking out an extra inch with the adapters.

I know your not into stretch tires but do you think i would be good with 245_35s in the rear without pulling or no?

Thanks for the help btw.

It's hard to say for sure since tire widths vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Assuming your adapter is 20mm making your effective offset +3. Your wheel will stick out roughly 3/4" more than what mine is right now. Mine is currently aggressively cut, no pull. I think the 245's sidewall will sit where mine are right now after the stretch and coming out 3/4" more. It's going to be tight.

Even the 275's on my 10.5's are a bit stretched for my tastes, haha.

Hmm i see, that pic really does alot of justice.

I will try to post mok up pics when i get the adapters which should be soon, and well see what i do from there.

Thanks

Can 18x9.5 +30 with 265's work up front? Contemplating a new set of wheels and I can get any offset I want. I already know what I'm doing out back but was just curious about the front setup.

//LRD

It might rub a little with the 265's. However the size and offset are dead on..

I am new to the game, but does the center bore make a difference if it's larger then 60.1mm? I'm looking into some wheels with 18x+ +20 265/35/18 front, and 18x10 +18 285/30/18 rear with a bore of 73mm. I'm lowered on tokico blues and tanabe springs. Will these fit with or without any modification. Thanks for your help

^, are these 18 x 10's all around?
If so, I don't think they will fit with factory fenders. I don't think you can get away with just a cut or roll in the rear. You'll have to go with some stretch to make these fit without major body work.

The bore 73mm is okay, you'll need to get a set to of hubcentric rings to fit 60.1mm to 73mm.

sorry that was a typo, 18x9. That sucks I had a great deal on some work emotions here locally, I didn't want to modify the car to make'em fit. Thanks for the help

They'll fit w/ semi stretched tires in rear and some stretch up front.

I've got 18x10 +15 all around w/ 225/40F 245/40R

but I know I can do 265/35 rear and probably get away with a 235/40 or a 255/35 up front.

I run 255/40 on 18x9.5 +33 up front on 600lb front springs with 1.7 degrees negative camber and cut fenders with about 1.5" gap from the top of the tire to the cut fender lip and have never rubbed with that and I drive very aggressively (I wonder if its possible for me to rub at this height). It's not so aggressive with lowering, though, and your tire tread will [theoretically] stick out an extra 8mm (3+10/2). It will work with a little more camber I'd guess. Long answer lol.

P.S. it would rub without cut fenders and less camber fyi

For those wheels, the tires you have on there are near the widest you can go without the tire mushrooming on you. If you are into mushrooming (complete opposite of stretching) then yeah you can mount wider tires.

Widening wheels in not out of the question but you have to ask yourself if it's worth the troubles and cost. If you have multi piece wheels, it's as simple as swapping out barrels for something wider. Single piece are more difficult, they cut the wheel in half and add a section; due to labor it can get expensive.

As far as 18"s or 19"s, it's all in offsets. Both wheels in relative diameters will have similar fitment.

Body work wise, there's tons of threads on here.
