Yeah they'll fit, pretty sure you'll have to roll your fenders. There's several members with offsets close to that.

They will fit fine with rolled fenders. Lower the car, roll fenders, run 225 and 245 (very mild stretch)
done.

I dont mind rolling fenders, I just dont want to get into having to pull them. Right now the wheels have 245's in the front, and 285's in the rear......any idea if that would be pushing my luck or not?

you will have a lot of rubbing. 285 will fit no problem but you would be better off with a higher offset and sink them into the fender well. 18x9.5 +40 with 285 worked fine for me with rolled fenders.

285 might be pushing it on the rear

i'm running a 295 on a 10.5 inch wheel with a 30mm offset and i rolled the fender some, but not much.

a 10" wheel with a 22mm offset will stick out 2mm more than my 10.5 +30s

That's amazing...I am rubbing with a 265 rear on 19x10 +29...my rears are shaved...

Are you running negative camber to push the tops of the wheels in to fit?

I have 18x10 +21 in the rear with 235s. Fits nicely but you'll have to roll the fender and have some natural negative camber after you lower your car. I got an alignment back to stock so it slightly rubs. I saw 18x10 +18 with 255's this pass weekend. Looks awesome!

ACleanSC, the difference could be that you are lower than detuned's car

Nice to see some people are trying more aggressive fitments

It will fit for sure just not sure about those tires.
I run a +18 on 10" on my rears and rubbed alot. After rolling the fenders I dont get any rub unless I have teh car full of people and take a turn really hard.

Ohh I have 245 mildly stretched over my 10 wheel btw

Everyone is talking about the rears....what about the fronts?

Griffin......what offsets and trie sizes are you running all the way around?

THanks

19x10 +29 with a 245 tire on it and slightly rolled rears work perfect!!
That's what I just did on mine, switched from a 265 down to a 245...mild stretch...

Now, I think +22 would require a really good roll and maybe a pull as well to give you some more room with a 245 tire.

Also 18x9 +22 I think you should stretch a 225 on there with rolled front and you should be ok!

I'll be experimenting and putting a 15mm spacer on my front making it a 19x8.5 +15 and a 225 tire, I'll post results when its done.
