+45 to +50 front and rear, go with 255/35, 285/30 tires. Front fender rolling should pretty much be done when you are running a 9" wide wheel, but if you run a reasonable ride height, it may be avoidable.

Depending on the exact offset and wheel, you may need aftermarket trailing arms to run those 18x10s.

 

what if i went +50 in front like johnny? would beable to avoid rubbing?

 

With a reasonable ride height, probably. You would just have to be careful entering steep driveways and such. Always safer to roll the fronts when running good-sized meats though.

 

I run 18x9 +43 front and 18x10 +43 rear with 255/35/18 and 285/30/18.

Thats about the LIMIT on both stock front and rear fenders, I have not rolled my fenders yet but I plan to as I do rub during hard corners, and I have lightly clipped my front fender once with the tire... a +45 to +50 offset would be perfect with this set up.

 

You want to buy 18x10" rims, run coilovers, and not get your fenders rolled?

Just pay a body shop to roll your fenders. I will probably cost less than $200 and be professionally done.

 

What is wrong w/ rolling fenders? No one sees it. And you ensure proper clearance for your tires.

 

You care about performance, but don't car about having maximum contact patch?

If you are so insistent on not rolling your own fenders, hit me up if you are in the SF Bay. I do rolls/pulls.

 

of cousre i care about full contact and performance. theres ppl running those tires with no problems with the right offset. i dont see why i have to roll my fenders when i could get the right offset and be good. but if rolling is something i cant avoid with those wheels, tires and any offsets then ill do it. i just dont see why i should pay for something i might be able to avoid.
how much do you usally charge zar?
