So many sexy square setups in here.

Here's mine: 18x10 ZITO ZF01 with 285/35/18 Sumitomo. I opted for 285/35 1 - because the width and we can fit it (with modded fenders, can actually fit 295 square believe it or not) and 2 - I wanted to keep the OD as close to 26.1" as I could.

Double trouble!


At some point before summer I'll be stealing your specs for my own. But different wheels,

It's the perfect setup for what I want.

Whats the offset on those 18x10s. No mods to fit the 285s?

ET 42. Probably could have gone more aggressive but it's fine.
Plenty of modding considering my ride height:
Rolled Fenders
Trimmed Fender Liners
Shaved Rear Fender Liner Studs
Shaved Quarter Panel Area where it meets the bumper.

Sounds like a lot but really isn't that bad. The grip is unworldly from stock so, totally worth it. I'll probably go for Michelin 295/35/18 after these for more grip and to be truly at stock OD.

Just an update, dipped and painted the wheels over the weekend. Liking the color much more, but wish it was a tad darker, brake dust will help!
Specs again are 18x9.5+38 square, with 255/40 275/35.

I may have missed it, but do you rub at all with that setup? Stock height?

I'm looking at 18x9.5+35 and would like to run 275/35, square...I can't find a definitive post on if that will fit.

edit...I don't really want to do fender work

Only rubbing is a tiny bit on reverse at full lock. Otherwise no rubbing.

I forgot to ask. You said you only lowered it a little bit compared to stock, so I'm hoping that with these same specs at stock height won't look strange. Did you happen to check them at stock height?

Thread bump. These set ups look great. Function over form.

Did anyone confirm that 18x9.5 +38 will work with 275/35 square without fender mods? I want to try this size in RPF1s.

Hey, I have the same wheel spec as you 18x9.5 +38

255/40/18R square setup, are you rubbing on full lock? Because I currently am.
