Wheels & Tire specs:
Desmond RegaMaster Marquis Promada in custom black metallic.
Fronts 18x9.5 +35 w/ 10mm spacers (has room for another 10mm) Tires: Advan A048 285/35/18
Rears 18x10.5 +18 w/ 5mm spacers Tires: Advan A048 295/35/18
WTB: Desmond Regamaster Marquis Promada 18 x 10.5 +45
If anyone has a pair of the rears in 18 x 10.5 +45 email me at shineautoproject@gmail.com ANYTIME. We can do cash or a straight trade. I have another pair of 18x10.5 +18 in silver, but in rough condition and needs to be painted. There are probably only 2-3 pair of these in the U.S in this size and I got 2 of them.
I'll even throw in custom outer rim decals that I had made specifically for the 18 inch wheels. The decals you see on ebay are only for 17 inch and below.

Sorry for the picture quality it was the best my iphone could do. the wheels are HRE 898r's 18X9 front with a 255 michelin PS2 and an 18x12.5 rear with a set of 335 michelin PS2 rears. Soon to be hoosier drag radial 335's rear and 285 nitto envo's rear after i widen the front fenders and send the front wheels back for a fatter outer lip.

I've been getting quite a bit of questions regarding the "meaty" setup on my tires, so I woud like to make a post fo clarify a few things.
When it comes to sidewall thickness for 18 inch street tires, 285/30/18 & 295/30/18 are actually the lowest profiles for wide wheels (9 inch and up.) The only other street tire I know that has a lower profile and actually available by tire manufacturers is 235/35/18
Here's some a simple math to do to think about side wall thickness.
285/30/18 285 x 30% = 85.5 85.5/2 = 42.75 mm side wall thickness
295/30/18 295 x 30% = 88.5 88.5/2 = 44.25 mm
255/35/18 255 x 35% = 89.25 89.25/2 = 44.62 (slightly taller than295/30)
255/40/18 51 mm
265/35/18 46.38 mm
275/35/18 48.12 mm
235/35/18 41.13 mm
285/35/18 49.88 mm
295/35/18 51.63 mm
315/30/18 47.25 mm
This a list off the top of my head for available street tire sizes on the market. I know we're only talking a few mm difference, but a perfect balance between function and style has always been measured in a few mm
.
My tires are actually not "meaty" compared to other available sizes. It is an optical illusion these particular wheels give. Here's a picture of the same tires on Advan RS/RZ wheels. Exact same tire specs.

Thank you for that write-up.
I did the math with my 19" staggered setup, and found that the overall diameter of my 19" tires will in fact be the same as my current setup.
I'm running 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 which both come to right at 26" in total diameter, matching my previous tires which were 235/40/18.

just use this website's app... way easier and nothing to actually calculate! Info are accurate, but always double check with the specs listed on your tire brand/model's website.

I am lowered on coilovers 12k front and 10k rear and a little wheel gap and i still need some more negative camber on both just so i dont rub. Like add -1 degree to OEM camber settings. Imma post pic when setup is over.
