18x9.5 +38 and 18x10 +30 Rolled Fenders

Ok so I have 18x9.5 +38 front and 18x10+30 rear with the fenders rolled not pulled. 9k Fortune Auto coilovers front and 7k for the rear. My question what is the largest set of tires I can put on the car... Ive done alot of research but its still foggy on what will work with rolled fenders and aftermarket suspension. This is a 93 Rx7

I'd go with either 255(or)265/35 in the front and 275(or)85/35 in the rear.

the 255/275 combo won't rub with rolled fenders, even with that +30 rear offset. The /35 tire profile will keep things from getting too out of hand, and your speedo somewhat accurate.

you should be fine with 255/275 combo and maybe a bit of extra camber to be safe.

I have 265/35/18 18x9.5" with +45MM offset, rolled fenders and it fits ok.....not sure if you would fit with a +38MM offset. I think thats pushing it.


I would run a 255/35/18 front tire (its smaller OD as well), and a 265/35/18 rear tire.
