Default What are my chances of fitting a 275 on a 10.5 +30?

My next goal is to grab some new tires. I was wanting to do 275/35/18 on my 18x10.5 +30 SSR's. What are the chances of fitting these on shaved stock fenders. Anyone can chime in on how much camber you are running?

Yes, I looked through the stickies... dont even start LOL. I want more opinions on this specific subject.

What's the size now? And what Brand are you going with? And why would you need camber on that?

I THINK it's possible with a bit of camber. What tires are you looking to get?

You should be good with just the shaved fenders.

I'm running a 275/40/18 on a 10" wide volk lowered a lot with a +32 offset. Fenders are rolled and pulled a bit. I'm not into that VW style stretched tire look.

I ran 275/30/19 on a 10.5 +26 with coilovers and fender roll with no issues. The tires I had were Dunlop Direzza's.

same here.
I think adding to much camber defeats the purpose of having wider tires...

Runnig Toyo PROXES T1R™ 275/30/19 96Y RD on Volk 19x10.5 +36 on shaved fenders.

Toyo Proxes T1R has rounder edges so you have less chance hitting fenders on bumps.

Thanks guys. I should be getting a nice deal on some 275's so it would be nice if it worked well. Im going to go for it, hope for the best! This is how it sits now, a little camber should make it work.



The ones I am looking at are BFG Gforce Sport... We will find out!

should fit if you have rolled fenders, that's similar to mine but with your stretched sidewall it should clear a little better, i'm running 275/40/18 on 18x10 +22 offset .. that .5 inch should be your wheels pretty close to mine with the difference in our offsets.

^^^That doesn't rub? Thats pretty close to my setup, pulled and rolled as well. However, what is strange on the SC is that even if it clears the fender, it may hit the inner fender about 1.5-2" up in its travel. I know that can be banged out.
