Well I put my professors on now


18x10.5 +30 rear with a 245/40/18 tire.

With a fender roll and when its dropped, what is the likely hood of getting a 275/35/18 on there (Dunlop Direzza - thinner side wall).

Probably going to depend on how much negative camber you have... it'll be close... it's not so much about the width of the wheel, but the offset and the width of the tire... it's gonna be close...

Yeah, thats what I am afraid of (how much camber). 1 maybe 2 degrees is okay, but nothing more than that. and suprisingly, 265 is more expensive than 275 haha.

I think the Dunlops will give me that slight stretch i will need, Not so sure though.

Will 18x9.5 +20 all around front and rear fit?

roll fenders. stretch tire.

menty

The back wont be sunken in compared to the front?

menty

I just got the wheels.
18x9.5 +20

The rears are flush with 265s to the fender. I will have to roll the guards.
The fronts stick out by 0.5-1inch with 265s on. Should I just run stretched tyres, if so what size, or flare the guard out?

Suspension Setup: Stock
Comment On Ride: Decent ride from stock 16's to 18's. Slightly rougher, but most of the time its not noticeable. Turning is sloppier, but can be solved by new bushings.
Fender Modifications: Cut Rear.
Any other comments: Rear pokes out a few, not bad at all. When its lowered on coilovers, the 245 rear should tuck perhectly. Fronts I want to run a small spacer to even them out, but its not in the budget now.
Picture:







Cant wait til its lowered, I will post more then.

Can I run a 265tyre on the front with 18x9.5 offset 20? I can run that on the rears okay

I dont see 265's up front fitting at all. the rim is going to be sticking out 15mm or so so you will need a stretch to pull those in unless you run massive camber or pull your fenders

menty

OK say I stretch the tyres and roll the guard, no flaring. Will it still fit under with a 235?

Also, can we actually adjust the camber of the fronts?

i'm in need of new tires in the rear badly..currently running 265/40/17 but was wondering if i could run maybe 285's in the rear w/o having to roll or cut the fenders, i have no clue what the offsets are but i do know it's 17x10 and my car is lowered but still have a little gap between the tire and fender...lmk asap...! i don't have any good recent pics but here's one w/ 255 just so you guys could see how it looks like...



and this one's w/ 265 tires
