I highly doubt it without further body work, I'm not sure if 25mm fenders would be enough. Even those would be tricky to fit on the rears.

I've seen 18 x 10 et 24 in the fronts, your 18 x 11 et 13 share a similar backspace of 6.5". It should clear suspension components, only problem may be the leading and trailing edge of the tires rubbing the fender wells depending on tire sizing.

You might need spacers to clear coils. I have 18x10.5 -18 on my fronts and Im super close.

This by far is the dumbest response on the face of the earth.

Bare with me because this is just a super rough estimate going off expirience:

18x10 +25 with super low on my car is basically flush with the OEM fender. never measured but I have maybe -3ish degrees of camber maybe closer to -4

so 18x11 +13 will space the leading edge of the rim out 24 mm so almost another inch which should be fine for the outside.

Now on the inside I would guarantee you that at full lock the tire is going to rub hardcore on the wheel well and I know also with the supra shock/spring combo the would probably rub real bad on the suspension in my carunless you did i tiny profile and big stretch.

I'm running 18x10.5 +22 in front on just rolled fenders and there's still a decent amount of room to go... I think it's doable with a decent pull.

GOOD NEWS GUYS!! IT FIIIIIITTTT!!!!!!!



all i have to do is cut the fiberglass fender inner liner and now it is kinda flush but i raised the car up for now to be safe till i have time to cut the fender.


but yes 18x11 + 13 works in front with no rubbing.


i think im running 245/40 i might go smaller so i can give it more stretch to save my fender


Quick Reply: 18x11 +13 in front with 25mm front will it work?
