Will this fit for the moment?

Option 2

F 18x8.5 +18, R 18x10 +18 same tires will this look noticeably weird?

The reason for the tires is because they are taking up space and I need to use them or sell them and the Miro 368 wheels are on sale for only $600.
Hey guys, bought the wheels and went with Michelin Pilot Sports

18x8.5 +18 235/40/18
18x10 +18 265/35/18

At stock ride height it looks silly, waiting on H&R coilovers in the mail. Looks like if I roll the fenders it will barely fit, maybe a little rub.

Hey CL,

I'm looking to buy a set of wheels and the specs are 18x9.5 +12 Front and 18x10.5 +12 Rear. I was wondering if this fitment can be achieved with only a fender roll, no pull or cutting. I'm also looking for some tire specs I should consider if these wheels are feasible, I'd prefer to stretch my tires so I can go low with minimal/no rubbing.

Any help is appreciated,
AdamTSi

Should not rub at all with a roll.

I almost bought those yesterday, same color and fitment. Did you have to do anything more than roll the fenders? What coilovers?

It needs a GOOD roll in the front if you want to be low. You'll rub at full lock hitting any kind of bumps. Back just needs a decent roll. Relocate the driver side wiring harness while you're at it too.
