a 295/35-18 will be almost even with the wheel on a 10" wide wheel...
a 5 mm spacer might get what you are looking for... still doubt it's gonna fit without pulling the fender....
how well did your friends tires clear the fender? did you try compressing the suspension and still check

A 10" rim with a +38 offset will offer the same inward clearance as a 9.5" rim at +44. However, a +38 offset will make it tough to fit a 295mm wide tire as mitsuguy barely fits a 275mm at +35.
Moral of the story: trying to fit 295's will not be easy. To fit a 10" wide rim, stay under a +40 offset.

i don't see much difference in your setup and mine except that yours is +44 and mine is +45, i guess my allignment isnt up to specs. maybe i should do that first. or the offsets on this rims is stamped wrong!

What's your tire recommendation for 18x10s all around?
1. The off set will be +24 all around.
2. The car is lowered with Tein Basics.
3. Fenders will be rolled. Want to avoid pulling/shaving.
Will 245-35 front and 245-40 rear work? (Some recommended 235-40 front)
Yes, I know it will be stretched, but I do not want it to be super stretched.
Also, I will most likely get BFG g-Force T-A KDW.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Pictures of my new wheels will be posted tomorrow. yay!

I think you'll be fine without rolling but why such a wide tire, i think 265's are fine on 17x9.

(You picking KDW 2's right? They are expensive as hell)235/40 front and 245/40 rear would be a perfect fit. Is the car for normal driving or some race oriented?
