New Wheels = Too much tire popping out?
Picked up some M5's
Running 8.5 265/35/18's up front 17 offset
Running 9.5 295/35/18's in the rear 17 offset
Suggestions please. Too much tire popping out? Fenders rolled etc..?
I just did this a while ago outside to see what they would look like.
first 4 pics are front
after that are rear
Thanks

295's in the back with that offset is going to do that.... even he supras that are running tires that wide run very high offsets (like +45 to +55) so that the wheel doesnt stick out that much.

The rears came with brand new 295's on them. will be going to a 275 most likely

Those tire specs are way too thick. 235 max on the front and 265 max on the back. In this case, switch the fronts to the back.

you should first get some smaller tires, than roll your fenders accordingly

I could move the 265's to the rear on the 9.5 and get some 235's for the front on the 8.5's
Till then, i'll slap on the TT's
